Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 13SQ
Incomplete dominance is seen in the inheritance of hypercholesterolemia. Mack and Toni are both heterozygous for this character, and both have elevated levels of cholesterol. Their daughter Katerina has a cholesterol level six times normal; she is apparently homozygous, hh. What fraction of Mack and Toni’s children are likely to have elevated but not extreme levels of cholesterol, like their parents? If Mack and Toni have one more child, what is the probability that the child will suffer from the more serious form of hypercholesterolemia seen in Katerina?

A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles.
a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom.
b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have:
b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? b.2 a child of normal height? b.3 a child with type AB blood? b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman?
b.7 a son with same genotype as the man?
Tongue rolling is an autosomal dominant trait. What would be the phenotype of a person who is heterozygous for this trait?

What phenotypic ratios of thalassemia-affected children might these parents expect?arrow_forwardOne form of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) shows incomplete dominance. Homozygous dominant individuals (HH) have normal cholesterol, heterozygous individuals have mildly elevated cholesterol and homozygous recessive individuals (hh) have severe FH. If a woman with mild disease marries a man with no FH, what percent of their children will have severe FH? What percent will have mild FH? What percent will be normal? A man with severe FH has three children with a woman who does not have the condition at all. What are the phenotypic ratios of the offspring?arrow_forwardA form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene.

- Haemophilia A is a severe coagulation disorder that shows X-linked recessive inheritance. Red-green colour blindness also shows X- linked recessive inheritance. A man with both haemophilia A and colour blindness is referred for genetic counselling. Assume that his partner is not a carrier of either of these conditions. Which of the following is correct? OA. The probability that each of his daughters will be a carrier of haemophilia A is 1 in 2. OB. The probability that each of his sons will be affected with haemophilia A is 1 in 2. OC. he probability that each of his daughters will be a carrier of haemophilia A and colour blindness is 1 in 2. D. The probability that each of his sons will be affected with both haemophilia A and colour blindness is 1 in 2. OE. The probability that each of his daughters will be a carrier of both haemophilia A and colour blindness conditions is 1.arrow_forwardCharles has achondroplasia dwarfism (autosomal dominant) but his wife is normal. What is the likelihood that they will have a child with achondroplasia dwarfism? What is the likelihood that they will have embryos that will die from achondroplasia dwarfism? Please explain.arrow_forwardSickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child?

- What are the odds of the person with sickle cell anemia disorder passing it on to their children if the other person is homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive for the trait?arrow_forwardFred, a male, is affected with Lalaphobia. Fred's father is also affected with Lalaphobia; but his mother is unaffected. Fred marries Ginger (a female), who is unaffected, and they have four children: An affected son An unaffected son An affected daughter An unaffected daughter Ginger is pregnant with a fifth child, a son. What is the probability that this son will be affected by Lalaphobia? Assume Lalaphobia is a rare disease. Your answer should be a whole number between 0 and 100. For example, if you enter 33, it means you think there is 33% chance that the son will be affected by Lalaphobia.arrow_forwardRonnie is convinced that baby Charlotte must be his daughter. He has heard about something called the “Bombay blood type”, and he is convinced that this phenomenon could explain how he could be Charlotte’s father. Please explain the Bombay blood type and its implications in this SPECIFIC situation, including (i) how it arises and (ii) genes involved, (iii) who would have the Bombay blood type in this scenario, and (iv) could Ronnie be Charlotte’s father, if this was present? Also (v) how could you determine whether the appropriate person actually had the Bombay blood type? Please LABEL the parts of your answer (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v).arrow_forward
- Sickle anemia is a favorable mutation. There is only one amino acid different in sickle haemoglobin (S) as compared with normal haemogloblin (A). Persons with sickle cell trait (AS) are able to survive in malarious areas. A couple each having sickle cell trait have five children. What is the probability that they will have a child with sickle disease?arrow_forwardhemophilia is a sex linked recessive disease. Dick does not have hemophilia. His wife Debi is a heterozygote.

Debi Jr.?arrow_forwardHillary is 8 years old and has neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, also known as Batten disease. It is autosomal recessive and always affects children before the age of 2. Her parents are not affected. Her younger brother Jaden, age six, is unaffected. What is the probability that Jaden is homozygous dominant for this trait?
