What are the two alleles for somebody who Marfan syndrome, a dominant disease? What allele would be the healthy allele, and which one would be the allele for Marfan syndrome?
A new nurse at the hospital has made a terrible mistake. When she bathed three children, she removed their wristbands and does not know which baby is which. The first baby has blood type AB, the second has blood type B and the third has blood type O. She looks up the records of the children and sees that the Jones parents have type A and type B blood, the Smith parents have type O blood, and the Johnson parents have type AB and type O blood. Whose baby is whose? Explain your reasoning.

Two healthy parents have a child who is later diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. What is the genetic term for this kind of disease? Using Mendel’s pattern, pick a letter for this gene and give the genotypes of the parents and the child. What are the odds that their next child will also have cystic fibrosis?
Given that the normal hemoglobin allele (H) is dominant to the sickle-cell allele (h), each time two Hh individuals have a child together, what is the chance that the child will have sickle-cell disease? (a) 0% (b) 75% (c) 25% (d) 50% (e) 100%

Relationship between IA and IB Relationship between IB and i Incomplete dominance Codominance b. Relationship between IA and IB Relationship between IB and i Multiple alleles Incomplete dominance c.

A couple named Bob and Brené have 2 children: Angela (female) and Arnold (male). Arnold has sickle cell anemia, a disorder that arises from two recessive alleles of the beta globin gene.Genetic tests have revealed that Bob’s father Denzel has the recessive allele, but Bob’s mother Diane does not. Brené’s father Charlie does not have the recessive allele and her mother Candie was never tested, so we don’t know her genotype.A) Draw out the pedigree for this family and indicate each person’s name. Write out all the possible genotypes for each person (use “A” to represent a dominant allele of the gene and “a” to represent a recessive allele of the gene) and the probability that each person is each of those genotypes.
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
