An affected daughter An unaffected daughter Ginger is pregnant with a fifth child, a son. What is the probability that this son will be affected by Lalaphobia? Assume Lalaphobia is a rare disease. Your answer should be a whole number between 0 and 100. For example, if you enter 33, it means you think there is 33% chance that the son will be affected by Lalaphobia

If a woman is heterozygous for neurofibromatosis (a dominant disorder) and produces with a homozygous normal man for the disorder, what are the chances that a child will have the disorder?
A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles. a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom. b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have: b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? b.2 a child of normal height? b.3 a child with type AB blood? b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman? b.7 a son with same genotype as the man?
Porphyria is a genetic disorder caused by the inability to properly metabolize a component of hemoglobin. King George III is suspected to have been afflicted with this disorder. Assume that both George and his Queen suffered from this disorder and they had one afflicted child and one normal child. Is porphyria inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion? What must be the genotype of both George and his Queen? Using punnett square, show ALL work used to achieve your answer.
Huntington’s disease, is an incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affectsmuscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable inmiddle age. It results from an autosomal dominant gene (H) and there are no carriers ofthe disease. Two parents with Huntington’s disease have an affected child. What is theprobability that their next child will be an unaffected girl if they are not double-dominant?
Joan was born with six toes on each foot, a dominant trait called polydactyly. Two of her five siblings and her mother, but not her father, also has extra digits. What is Joan's genotype for the number-of-digits character?
In people with maple syrup urine disease, the body is unable tometabolize the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. One ofthe symptoms is that the urine smells like maple syrup. An unaffected couple produced six children in the following order: unaffecteddaughter, affected daughter, unaffected son, unaffected son, affectedson, and unaffected son. The youngest unaffected son and an unaffected woman have three children in the following order: affecteddaughter, unaffected daughter, and unaffected son. Draw a pedigreethat describes this family. What type of inheritance (dominant orrecessive) would you propose to explain maple syrup urine disease?
Charles has achondroplasia dwarfism (autosomal dominant) but his wife is normal. What is the likelihood that they will have a child with achondroplasia dwarfism? What is the likelihood that they will have embryos that will die from achondroplasia dwarfism? Please explain.
Jan and Michael are both carriers for the cystic fibrosis allele. If Jan and Michael have three children with the disease and then Jan becomes pregant with fratnernal twins, what is the probability that both twins will also have the disease?
A woman with type A blood marries a man with type O blood. They have six children, all of whom have type A blood. What are the probable genotypes of the parents? Could they ever have a child with type O blood?
If a father has Marfan syndrome, a dominant disorder, and passes it down to all of his children, but his wife does not have the disorder, what would the punnett square between the father and mother look like? Why is this his genotype if all of his children had Marfan syndrome?
A woman with achondroplasia (a dominant form of dwarfism) anda phenotypically unaffected man have seven children, all of whomhave achondroplasia. What is the probability of producing such afamily if this woman is a heterozygote? What is the probabilitythat the woman is a heterozygote if her eighth child does not havethis disorder?
Two affected daughters and two normal sons are born to an affected male and a normal female. Each of the affected daughters (and their normal husbands) gave birth to affected sons and daughters. Normal sons of the couple married normal women and had normal children. Which of the following is the most likely mode of inheritance for this trait?* Sex-linked recessive Sex-linked dominant Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive
