Below is a pedigree chart of a certain family with a genetic disorder. Shaded individuals show symptoms of the disease. What is the probability that the individual "III-2" (represented with the question mark) will show symptoms of the disease? Hint: Start by determining if this disease is dominant or recessive.

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?
What are the genotypes of the mother and father in the pedigree below? The pedigree shows albinism (an autosomal recessive trait). The shaded shapes represent albino individuals. a. mother - homozygous dominant; father - homozygous dominant b. mother - heterozygous; father - homozygous recessive c. mother - homozygous recessive; father - heterozygous d. mother - heterozygous; father - heterozygous e. mother - homozygous dominant; father - homozygous recessive
The pedigree below shows the inheritance of a certain disorder. Based on the pedigree chart, is the brachydactyly trait in pedigree dominant or recessive? Explain.
Using the pedigree, assume that the disease is caused by an autosomal dominant allele, R. Give the genotype of the following individuals: (a) III-4 (the girl at lower right) (b) II-3 (the girl’s mother) (c) II-4 (the girl’s father)
The attached image is a pedigree of a family with a history of sickle cell anemia (the individuals with the filled-in symbols have the disease and no new mutations are occurring in any individual). Sickle cell anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. What is the probability that the individual with the question mark (?) will get the disease? a) 1/4 b) 1/2 c) 2/3 d) 1
An unaffected woman for a human disorder marries and unaffected man and they have children. This results in 3 affected sons, and one unaffected daughter, which ends up having children later on with an unaffected man and has 2 affected sons. Please help draw a simple pedigree diagram for this family and please include a legend.
A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling with cystic fibrosis. (Cysticfibrosis is a recessive disease, and neither member ofthe couple nor any of their four parents is affected.)a. What is the probability that the female of thiscouple is a carrier?b. What are the chances that their child will havecystic fibrosis?c. What is the probability that their child will be acarrier of the cystic fibrosis disease allele?
Parents Genotype : Bb/bb – Eye Color - (brown eyes dominant , blue eyes recessive) Dd- Dimples ( dominant) Cc/cc- Cleft chin (Dominant) Sarah BbDdcc James bbDdCc What is the probability that Sarah and James will have a baby girl with blue eyes and dimples
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes an abnormal production of mucus which in turn can cause damage and infection to the lungs and other organs. In the following pedigree, black indicates all those persons afflicted with cystic fibrosis (square symbols are males, circles are females). There's a healthy couple and they have two children. One is a 23-year-old daughter with cystic fibrosis who is married to a 24-year-old male who is healthy. The other child is a 15-year-old son who is healthy After studying the pedigree, write a logical hypothesis suggesting the cause of cystic fibrosis in terms of dominant or recessive alleles. On the basis of your hypothesis, write an appropriate genotype for both of the parents. Using a Punnett square, what is the probability of the parents having a child with cystic fibrosis? If the daughter's husband is a carrier of cystic fibrosis, what is the probability that they have a child with cystic fibrosis? Show your Punnett square.
The following pedigree traces the inheritance of a certain genetic disease in a family. The circles represent women and the squares represent men. Individuals with darkened shapes have the disease, while individuals with white shapes do not. The lines indicate the relationship between individuals, either through marriage or by birth. Study the chart and then answer the question. How many women have the disease in this pedigree? Five One Four
Using the pedigree below, determine whether the alleles B or C have a dominant or recessive relationship, which allele is dominant, and the genotype for individuals I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, II-4, and II-5. Use B or C for the alleles and X for unknown alleles. Note: White squares/circle indicate normal phenotypes. Dark squares/circles indicate the individual has the condition. The B allele is associated with the condition. Label the pedigree chart with genotypes as needed.
People with polydactyly have more than five fingers or toes on their hands or feet. Polydactyly results from an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Draw a pedigree for a family with polydactyly, using the following information: Zack has polydactyly but his wife, Zoe does not. Zack and Zoe’s daughter Yolanda has polydactyly but their son Yogi does not. Yolanda has two children with her husband, Xavier, who does not have polydactyly: Wilma, who is normal and Wade, who has polydactyly. Use your pedigree to determine what is Zoe's genotype. A) DD B)dd C)Dd
