A gene present on both the X and Y chromosome in homo sapians is called ANT 3. There is a mutant version of ANT 3. We have found that we can differentiate between heterozygous and homozygous individuals. Can we differentiate between autosomal and pseudoautosomal inheritance if given a large pedigree? Give your reasoning.

Which mode of inheritance is suggested by the following pedigree? Based on this hypothesis, and assuming that the trait is rare and has complete penetrance, what are the possible genotypes of all individuals in this pedigree?
Ectrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent and the hand is split. This condition is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Ademar Freire-Maia reported the appearance of ectrodactyly in a family in São Paulo, Brazil, whose pedigree is shown here. Is this pedigree consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance? If not, what mode of inheritance is most likely? Explain your reasoning.
The following pedigree illustrates the inheritance of ringed hair, a condition in which each hair is differentiated into light and dark zones. What mode or modes of inheritance are possible for the ringed-hair trait in this family?
When examining a human pedigree, what features do you look forto distinguish between X-linked recessive inheritance and autosomal recessive inheritance? How would you distinguish X-linkeddominant inheritance from autosomal dominant inheritance in ahuman pedigree?
In humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.
Provide a proof that a different phenotype can be produced from the same genotype. What are the possible causes for this different expression? How can the different gene interactions be differentiated from each other and from the Mendelian inheritance?
The pedigree shown below shows the inheritance of cystic fibrosis, a disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. Individual 5 shows no family history of cystic fibrosis and is considered to be homozygous for the normal allele. What is the probability that individual 10 is a carrier for the allele leading to cystic fibrosis?
In humans, hypertrichosis of the ears is caused by a holandric gene while baldness vs. non-baldness is sex-influenced, controlled by a pair of autosomal alleles, and follows a male-dominant pattern of inheritance. Based on this information, can a normal non-bald daughter have a hypertrichosis bald father? Explain your reasoning and predict the genotypes.
Acatalasia is caused by a rare autosomal recessive gene. In heterozygous condition catalase activity is decreased slightly. A woman with a normal catalase activity have a husband with low catalase activity. What is the probability of children birth without anomaly in the family, if grandparents from both sides have reduced activity of catalase? Diagram the cross and mention the genotypes of all individuals in the family?
The following pedigree shows what type of inheritance?

the lubber grasshopper is a very large grasshopper,and is black and red and yellow stripes.Assume that red strpes are expressed from Gr alleles,yellow stripes from the Gy allele,and no stripes from the g allele.What will be the phenotype ratio resulting from a cross of two grasshoppers,both with red and yellow stripes? what type of inheritance is occurring in this situation ?
