- Help me create a pedigree of this information: Pedigree analysis: Generation 1: Normal parents (AA x AA) Generation 2: Carrier parents (AA x AS) Generation 3: Affected child (AS x AS) Generation 4: Affected grandchild (SS) This pedigree has two normal parents in the first generation. Second generation carriers carry the sickle cell trait from one parent. The disease is 25% more likely to be inherited in the third generation if both parents have the 'S' allele. If both parents have the 'S' allele, their children will have sickle cell anemia in the fourth generationUsing the conventions of Figure 4-15, draw parents andprogeny classes from a crossP M′′′/p M′ × p M′/p M′′′′Klinefelter syndrome XXY can be easily diagnosed by _______ . a. pedigree analysis c. karyotyping b. aneuploidy d. phenotypic treatment
- A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally. What if the couple wanted prenatal testing so that a normal fetus could be aborted?A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism.

- A single allele gives rise to the Hbs form of hemoglobin. Individuals who are homozygous for the allele (HbS/HbS) develop sickle-cell anemia (Section 9.6). Heterozygous individuals (HbA/HbS) have few symptoms. A couple who are both heterozygous for the HbS allele plan to have children. For each of the pregnancies, state the probability that they will have a child who is: a. homozygous for the HbS allele b. homozygous for the normal allele (HbA) c. heterozygous: HbA/HbSA. HUMAN PEDIGREE CASE ANALYSIS1. One couple has three children with the following sexes and ages: one son (40 y.o.) and two daughters (35 y.o. and 33 y.o.), all of them have normal pigmentation. Another couple has a son (35 y.o) and a daughter (20 y.o.) and all of them also have normal pigmentation. Both couples have normal pigmentation. The younger daughter from the first couple married the son of the second couple and they had three children. Their eldest daughter (5 y.o.) has normal pigmentation while their only son (3 y.o.) and one daughter (1 y.o.) have albinism. a. Draw the pedigree of this family. Follow protocols in making a pedigree. Provide the genotype of all individuals in the pedigree. Please provide also the gene notation. b. What is the mode of inheritance of this trait? c. Justify your answer in letter (b).d. For their normal daughter, what is the probability that she is a carrier? Show solution. e. If they will have a fourth child, what is the probability that the…I don't really understand how to solve this question. For part a, I think my approach would be to find the genotypes of the parents first, and find the genotype of the F1. For part B, I would like to get some clarifications on the difference between linked genes with no crossing over vs. unlinked genes when approaching Punnett square type questions. Thank you also answer part a and b
