- Pedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?arrow_forward. Recognize autosomal dominant and autosomal recessivepatterns of inheritance when examining a pedigree.arrow_forwarda. Why males and females do not show equal chances of inheriting a trait? b.

- Explain why familial breast cancer shows a dominant pattern of inheritance in a pedigree even though it is recessive at the cellular level.arrow_forwardUsing the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?arrow_forwardd. Draw a pedigree to depict the following family (Write all the genotypes): One couple has a son and daughter with nomal skin pigmentation, Another couple has one son and two daughters with normal skin pigmentation. The daughter from the first couple has three children with the son of the second couple. Their son and one daughter have albinisn (OMIM 203100); their other daughter has normal skin pigmentation.arrow_forward
- Working with the definitions of penetrance and expressivity, analyze the following pedigree and assume that the father of the proband is homozygous for a rare trait. (Consider a rare trait here to be less than 1 in 30,000.) What pattern of inheritance other than autosomal recessive could explain this pedigree? In particular, explain the genotype and phenotype of the proband (arrow).arrow_forwardIn each of the following pedigrees (C, D) by inspection, determine the mode of inheritance involved. Indicate the possible genotypes of all individuals in all the pedigrees.arrow_forwardPorphyria is a genetic disorder caused by the inability to properly metabolize a component of hemoglobin. King George III is suspected to have been afflicted with this disorder. Assume that both George and his Queen suffered from this disorder and they had one afflicted child and one normal child. Is porphyria inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion? What must be the genotype of both George and his Queen? Using punnett square, show ALL work used to achieve your answer.arrow_forward
