A prospective groom, who is unaffected, has a sisterwith cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease.Their parents are unaffected. The brother plans to marrya woman who has no history of CF in her family. Whatis the probability that they will produce a CF child? Theyare both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF inthe Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affectedchild per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy–Weinberg assumptions.)

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a). Assume that Emily (who has CF) decides to have children with a man who does not have CF and who is not a carrier of CF. What are their genotypes, and what is the probability that they will have a child who is a carrier for CF?
Imagine this. A couple wants to have a child. However, they both have had Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in their families and so, they want to know if there is a probability of their child inheriting CF. In this couple, if Mom's genotype is AaDD for the Cystic Fibrosis related alleles (as indicated above) and Dad's genotype of Aadd, what would be the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the children they could have?If any of the children inherit CF, what can you tell about the severity of the disease? Would it be very severe, moderately severe, or not severe? Be sure to draw a Punnett Square to show how you arrived at the answer. asap please
Suppose two parents are healthy carriers of the sickle cell allele. The genotype of each parent is HbAHbS (HbAis the normal allele, and HbS is the sickle-cell allele).How likely is it for a child of these parents to have sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS)?
A prospective groom, who is normal, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are normal. The brother plans to marry a woman who has no history of CF in her family. What is the probability that they will produce a CF child? They are both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF in the Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affected child per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy–Weinberg assumptions.)
A man with Huntington disease (he is heterozygousHD HD+) and a normal woman have two children.a. What is the probability that only the second childhas the disease?b. What is the probability that only one of the childrenhas the disease?c. What is the probability that none of the childrenhas the disease?d. Answer (a) through (c) assuming that the couplehad 10 children.e. What is the probability that 4 of the 10 children inthe family in (d) have the disease?

why would the frequency of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome decrease if the Amish married individuals from outside of their community?
Huntington disease is a rare dominant condition in humans that results in a slow but inexorable deteriorationof the nervous system. The disease shows what mightbe called age-dependent penetrance, which is to saythat the probability that a person with the Huntingtongenotype will express the phenotype varies with age.Assume that 50% of those inheriting the HD allele willexpress the symptoms by age 40. Susan is a 35-yearold woman whose father has Huntington disease. Shecurrently shows no symptoms. What is the probabilitythat Susan will show symptoms in five years?
If one person with the trait of Huntington's disease (H h) has 2 children with a partner who does not have a trait for the disease what is the chance that both children won't have the disease?
If the frequency of the aa genotype is 19%, what is the frequency of the AA genotype? Assume that there are only two alleles (i.e. a and A).
Karen and Steve each have a sibling with sickle-cell disease.Neither Karen nor Steve nor any of their parents have thedisease, and none of them have been tested to see if they carrythe sickle-cell allele. Based on this incomplete information,calculate the probability that if this couple has a child, thechild will have sickle-cell disease.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition. Therefore, heterozygous (Cc) carriers do not display symptoms. Two parents who are carriers plan to start a family and you are a genetic counselor helping to advise them about their chances of having children affected by CF. a) Suppose the couple has 4 children, each one year apart. What is the probability that all 4 children will inherit CF? b) What is the probability that any 3 of their 4 children will not inherit CF, but 1 will be affected? c) What is the probability that their first child will not inherit CF, but the younger 3 children will inherit CF?
