A woman without red-green colorblindness and with a normal chin, whose mother was colorblind, marries a cleft-chinned, non-colorblind man whose mother had a normal chin. Recall that red-green colorblindness is sex-linked recessive, but mid-chin fissure (cleft) is autosomal dominant. What are the expected phenotypic ratios of the children? Show your work.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal disease that mainly affects the white population, and 1 in 20 whites are heterozygotes. Genetic testing can diagnose heterozygotes. Should a genetic screening program for cystic fibrosis be instituted? Should the federal government fund it? Should the program be voluntary or mandatory, and why?
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits As a genetic counselor investigating a genetic disorder in a family, you are able to collect a four-generation pedigree that details the inheritance of the disorder in question. Analyze the information in the pedigree to determine whether the trait is inherited as: a. autosomal dominant b. autosomal recessive c. X-linked dominant d. X-linked recessive e. Y-linked
A couple seeks advice from a genetic counselor because they know that they are both carriers for cystic fibrosis (which is autosomal recessive), and the woman is a carrier for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (which is sex-linked recessive). For each of their future sons and daughters (calculate separately), what is the probability that they will be affected for: Both cystic fibrosis and nuscular dystrophy If the couple’s first born son has both cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, what is the probability that their second born son will have both diseases?

Color-blindness (c) is a sex-linked recessive trait, while normal color vision (C) is dominant: If two normal-visioned parents have a color-blind son, what are the parent's genotypes? ~What are the chances that their children will be color-blind?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked recessive disorder characterized by a progressive loss of muscle tissue. Neither Carla nor Rudy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but their first son does have it. What can you say about Rudy's or Carla's genotype in relation with the disorder?
