In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling with cystic fibrosis. (Cysticfibrosis is a recessive disease, and neither member ofthe couple nor any of their four parents is affected.)a. What is the probability that the female of thiscouple is a carrier?b. 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?
1. Construct a pedigree chart of the trait traced in the situation below.2. The pedigree chart must be constructed with the names and genotypes at the bottom of every individual in the chart.If it is autosomal: Always use the first letter of the dominant trait to represent the dominant allele. For example, if the dominant trait is red, so the allele R-red, while r-yellow. For example, if the person is homozygous dominant for curly hair, we write CC as his genotype. If sex-linked, do not forget to write the parents’ chromosomes (XX-female, XY-male), with their corresponding superscripts (dominant or recessive). The superscript must be based on the first letter of the disorder. For example, the mother is a carrier of hemophilia (which is x-linked recessive), so we write XHXh. If the father has hemophilia, we write XhY. Put the pedigree chart using code properly. The situation is given below: Trait: NeurofibromatosisThe dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of…

A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) This woman is phenotypically normal. Does thissurprise you? Why or why not? Under what circumstancesmight you expect a phenotypic effect of such arearrangement?
Piebald spotting is a condition found in humans inwhich there are patches of skin that lack pigmentation. The condition results from the inability ofpigment-producing cells to migrate properly duringdevelopment. Two adults with piebald spotting haveone child who has this trait and a second child withnormal skin pigmentation.a. Is the piebald spotting trait dominant or recessive?What information led you to this answer?b. What are the genotypes of the parents?

Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify. What information can you provide the juryconcerning the allegation?
