Imagine that you are a genetic counselor, and a couple planning to start a family comes to you for information. Charles wasmarried once before, and he and his first wife had a child withcystic fibrosis. The brother of his current wife, Elaine, died ofcystic fibrosis. What is the probability that Charles and Elainewill have a baby with cystic fibrosis? (Neither Charles, Elaine,nor their parents have cystic fibrosis.)
Can someone help me with these genetics questions about Punnett squares and pedigrees?
A couple who are about to get married learn from studying their family histories that, in both their families, theirunaffected grandparents had siblings with cystic fibrosis(a rare autosomal recessive disease).a. If the couple marries and has a child, what is theprobability that the child will have cystic fibrosis?b. If they have four children, what is the chance that thechildren will have the precise Mendelian ratio of 3:1 fornormal:cystic fibrosis?c. If their first child has cystic fibrosis, what is theprobability that their next three children will be normal?
The pedigree pictured is of an extended family where a large percentage of family members develop colon cancer at an early age. In this family, individuals either get colon cancer before the age of 16, or they don’t get it at all. a) Based on the information you have been given, what evidence, if any, suggests an inherited contribution to the development of this disease? b) You take a medical history of all 33 people in the pedigree and discover that a large percentage drink a special coffee on a daily basis, while others do not. The individuals who do not drink coffee are I-1, II-2, II-4, II-9, III-7, III-13, IV-1, and IV-3. Could drinking this special coffee play a role in colon cancer? Explain.
Ann's family has a history of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disease. In the pedigree, family members who are afflicted with the disease are shown in red. Members who are unafflicted may or may not be carriers. Which of the given family members can be identified definitively as unafflicted carriers of cystic fibrosis?
Four human pedigrees are shown in the accompanying illustration. The black symbols represent an abnormal phenotype inherited in a simple Mendelian manner.a. For each pedigree, state whether the abnormal condition is dominant or recessive. Try to state the logic behind your answer. b. For each pedigree, describe the genotypes of as many persons as possible.
Need help, please. What are the ratios for the progeny phenotype(s)?
John and Sue are expecting a child, but are concerned about a rare autosomal recessive disease that is present in both of their families. In the pedigree, John is represented as individual III‑11 and Sue is represented as individual III‑12; both are unaffected. John's sister, III‑10, and Sue's brother, III‑13, both do not show evidence of the disease, but John's paternal grandmother and Sue's maternal grandfather both had the disease. What is the probability that neither John nor Sue is a carrier?
. The pedigree below was obtained for a rare kidney disease.a. Deduce the inheritance of this condition, stating your reasons. b. If persons 1 and 2 marry, what is the probability that their first child will have the kidney disease?
Someone please help with each question, they are all about the same pedigree. The first question the option is (DOMINANT OR RECESSIVE)The bottom part of the second image the cut off part asks: "For the next question, give the probability as a fraction that is simplified to the lowest value. Type your fraction in #/# format without spaces. For example, one-half should be typed as 1/2. Failure to follow these instructions will result in your answer being marked as incorrect. Suppose that III-4 and III-5 were to have a child. What is the probability that their first child will be a daughter that has the disorder? __________"Someone please help with each question on the image and the cut off part that I types above.
You have been hired to produce a family tree for three generations of a family where a disorder called “blinky” syndrome is observed. People who suffer from blinky syndrome blink their eyes rapidly when they look at bright lights. In order to draw a pedigree chart for this family, you interview Mike and Annie. Neither suffer from this syndrome. Annie’s mother is normal, while Annie’s father blinked like crazy at bright lights. Annie has one sister and one brother and both of them are unaffected. While Annie’s sister has yet to have kids, her brother married a blinky sufferer. Mike’s mother is a blinker while his father is normal. Mike’s brother is just like their mother. In addition, this brother married a blinker. Mike’s sister is normal - as is her husband and their one boy. Draw a pedigree chart below in order to answer the following on the next page. Use the letters A and a for the genotypes. If more than one genotype is possible for an individual - you may write it as A with a…
