Chapter 6 - Practice Problems Worksheet
Complete the following questions about the main topics discussed in Chapter 6. 1.
Autosomal recessive traits often appear in pedigrees in which there have been consanguine mating, because these traits
:
a.
tend to skip generations.
b.
appear only when both parents carry a copy of the gene for the trait, which is more likely when the parents are related.
c.
usually arise in children born to parents who are unaffected.
d.
appear equally in males and females.
2.
This is the pedigree chart for a family, some of whose members exhibit the dominant trait, W
.
I. What is the genotype of individual II-5?
A) WW
D) WW
or ww
B) Ww
E) ww or Ww
C) ww
II. What is the likelihood that the offspring of IV-3 and
IV-4 will have the trait? A) 0%
C) 50%
E) 100%
B) 25%
D) 75%
III. What is the probability that individual III-1 is Ww
?
A) ¾
C) 2/4
E) 1
B) ¼
D) 2/3
3.
What characteristics of the pedigree in Figure 6.1
suggest that adermatoglyphea in this family is
inherited as an autosomal dominant trait?
4.
How could you distinguish between an autosomal recessive trait with higher penetrance in males and an X-linked recessive trait?
Chapter 6 - Practice Problems Worksheet
5.
What characteristic would you NOT expect to see in a pedigree of an X-linked recessive trait?
a.
The trait is more commonly seen in males.
b.
The trait can skip a generation.
c.
The trait is commonly passed from fathers to sons.
d.
Whenever a daughter receives the trait, the father is affected.
e.
An affected son’s mother either has the trait or is heterozygous (carrier).
6.
In studying an X-linked dominant trait, you examine a family with seven children. None of the three sons has the trait and all four daughters have the trait. What is a likely conclusion about the parents?
a.
The mother has the X-linked dominant trait.
b.
Both mother and father have the X-linked dominant trait.
c.
This mutation likely arose during meiosis of either parent.
d.
The father has the X-linked dominant trait.
e.
We do not have enough data to conclude anything.
