1) Can you roll your tongue? Tongue rolling is a Dominant trait. If you can roll your tongue, assume you are heterozygous (Rr). If you cannot roll your tongue, you are homozygous recessive for this trait (rr). Complete the Punnett Square below and calculate the percentage probability of inheritance: Partner A: Yes or No Partner B: Yes or No Probability (percentage) of having Tongue-rolling child? Non tongue-rolling child? % %

Marfan’s syndrome is an example of pleiotrophy where individuals with a copy of the dominant allele have skeletal disorders, mitral valve prolapse and characteristic slender, loose joints. If Abraham Lincoln had a marfanoid disorder which he inherited from his mother, what are the chances he passed this trait on to his offspring? Consider that Mary Todd Lincoln, his wife, was 5’2”. please include a punnett square

What are the chances that their child will havecystic fibrosis?c. What is the probability that their child will be acarrier of the cystic fibrosis disease allele?

Caleb has a double row of eyelashes, which he inherited from his mother as a dominant trait. His maternal grandfather is the only other relative to have the trait. Veronica, a woman with normal eyelashes, falls madly in love with Caleb, and they marry. Their first child, Polly, has normal eyelashes. What chance does a child of Veronica and Caleb have of inheriting double eyelashes? please include a punnett square
Assume that a particular unusual phenotype is caused by an autosomal recessive allele. John marries Jane, and they have a daughter Mia together who has the unusual phenotype. John has a brother Carlos who appears normal. Jane has a sister Margit with the unusual phenotype. John and Jane are not related, and none of their parents have the unusual phenotype. Draw a 3-generation pedigree that depicts the entire scenario and assign the most likely genotypes to each individual. (You can use any letter you wish to represent the gene.) Yes, you should include Jane's parents and sister, and also John's parents and brother, as part of the pedigree. And don't forget Mia!
Based on the observed inheritance pattern and ratio of phenotypes, what are the genotypes of the affected children? Select an answer and submit it. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are c-/c-. b) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/C. c) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/c-. d) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C.
Albinism is a recessive disorder where there is a lack of melanin. Andrea and her husband Claude both have normal skin pigmentation. Andrea’s mother has the albino phenotype, but her father and her brother do not (normal pigmentation). Claude’s parents are both normal, but he has a sister who has the condition (is albino). Answer the following questions If Andrea and Claude are carriers for the albino allele, what is the probability that they have an albino child? If Andrea and Claude have a second child, what is the probability this child be normal (non-albino)? NOTE: Draw a punnet square or show your work.
Color blindness is typically an inherited genetic condition in which individuals have a decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness only occurs in individuals who have two recessive alleles for the condition. Normal color vision is due to a dominant allele (C) Color blindness is due to the recessive allele (c) a) If Susan is homozygous for normal vision, and Matt is homozygous for color blindness, what is the likelihood (in percentage) that their son Alex will have color blindness? Perform a Punnett Square (either below or by hand on paper) to find the probability. Provide your answer in a full sentence. If you did the Punnett Square by hand, attach your photo to the next question.
