Assume that curly hair (C) is dominant to straight hair. Albinism (P ) is recessive to normal skin pigmentation. A woman who is heterozygous for curly hair and albinism has a child. The father is homozygous dominant for curly hair and has albinism. (a) Determine the possible phenotypes for their child. (double-crossing, Puneet square) (b) Calculate the four different probabilities of a child being both a male and of each phenotype. (c) What is the probability that the child will express albinism and have curly hair like his father?

I will be adding two questions here because I asked two of the same questions twice by accident earlier. A man and a woman do not have hemophilioa, but the womans father did. (Hemophilia is X-linked recessive). a) What is the probability that they will have a child with hemophilia? b) Is it possible for any of their daughters to be affected? Explain. A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this? a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple alleles
What makes the red? What is this testing used for?
PLEASE tell me what each pedigree diagram is. so which one is most likely to show a family with Haemophilia A? most likely to show a family with Gaucher Disease? most likely to show a family with Sickle Cell Anaemia? most likely to show a family with Achondroplasia? most likely to show a family with Goltz Syndrome? What is the most likely inheritance pattern shown in image B, below?
The genotype of EB27 and EB67 are unknown. Based on pedigree, what are the most likely genotype of each individual?

Could you please explain the difference between Incomplete Penetrance, Incomplete Dominance, and Variabale Expressivity? I can't keep them separate.
Shown below is a pedigree for Phenylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. The characteristic feature of PKU is severe mental retardation A) What is the probability that individual II-1 is heterozygous for this gene? B) What is the probability that individual III-4 is heterozygous for this gene? C) If individuals III-3 and III-4 were to marry, what is the probability that their child would express PKU?
Ch. 13-3 Refer to problem 2. Determine the predicted genotype frequencies among the offspring of the following crosses:a. AABB × aaBB b. AaBB × AABb c. AaBb × aabb d. AaBb × AaBb
I'm confused about how I would figure out these two questions as I don't really understand the difference or where to start. What are the observed genotypic frequencies for Wildrose at the pt-8 locus? and What are the observed allelic frequencies for Wildrose at the pt-8 locus?
Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally. What if the couple wanted prenatal testing so that a normal fetus could be aborted?
