For each of the following modes of inheritance, describe the features that will be exhibited in a pedigree in which the trait is present: autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, X-linked dominant, and Y-linked inheritance.
Farmer Brown had two hogs, Olga and Hank. Olga and Hank were normal, healthy hogs, but whenever Farmer Brown crossed them, a few of the piglets had cleft palates. Assuming a simple autosomal basis for cleft palate, what are the genotypes of Olga and Hank, and about what proportion of the piglets are born with a cleft palate?
—Hereditary canine spinal muscular atrophy (HCSMA) is a motor neuron disease in Brittany Spaniels. Breeding studuies within a kindred of more than 125 dogs (Brittany spaniel and beagle-Brittany outcrosses) have established an autosomal dominant inheritance for HCSMA.
Which of the following genotypes would cause the dog to NOT HAVE HCSMA?

- In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.arrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?arrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for normal blood clotting (H) is dominant to the allele for hemophilia. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the probable genotype for each member of the family?arrow_forward
- A light-haired man has blood type O, his wife has dark hair and blood type AB, but her father had light hair. Assume dark hair (H) is dominant to light (h). What is the probability they will have a child with dark hair and blood type A? What is the probability they will have a child with light hair and blood type B? What is the total number of phenotypes their children could show?arrow_forwardThe ABO blood group is one set of blood antigens. There is a separate locus (H) that controls the presentation of these antigens on the cell surface. Individuals who are homozygous, hh, cannot present the antigens of the ABO type (and appear to be O-type). Consider the following cross: P0: IAi Hh x IBi Hh 1. What is this type of inheritance pattern called? Complete a Punnett square to determine are the phenotypic frequencies of the apparent blood groups among the offspring?arrow_forwardIn humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomalmultiple alleles. Red–green color blindness is a recessiveX-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normalvision produce a son who is color-blind and type O, what isthe probability that their next child will be a female who has normalvision and is type O?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype of a homozygous dominant?arrow_forward(a) Enter the parent phenotypes and complete the Punnett square Inheritance of sex linked recessive tralts Example: Hemophilia Female paront phenotype Inheritance of hemophilia is sex linked. Males with the recessive (hemophilia) allele, are affected. Females can be carriers.

- Thalassemia is an inherited anemic disorder in humans. Affected individuals exhibit either a minor anemia or a major anemia. Assuming that only a single gene pair and two alleles are involved in the inheritance of these conditions, is thalassemia a dominant or recessive disorder?arrow_forwardImagine you have a blood group of "X" which is recessive and expressed by xx. The dominant blood groups are Y and Z, where homozygous of these alleles are expressed as YY and ZZ, respectively. What will be the genotype of your parents blood group? Why? Please explain in your own words. [Max 200 words]arrow_forwardPropose the most likely mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive) for the following pedigrees.
