- 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?Does the phenotype indicated by the red circles and squares in this pedigree show an inheritance pattern that is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked?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?

Should the parents be concerned about the heterozygous condition as well as the homozygous mutant condition?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
- Ann's family has a history of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disease. In the pedigree, family members who are afflicted with the disease are shown in red. Members who are unafflicted may or may not be carriers. Which of the given family members can be identified definitively as unafflicted carriers of cystic fibrosis?Using the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?What are the genotypes of the mother and father in the pedigree below?

- Geneticists are concerned about three different genetic conditions present within their family. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results in short-limbed dwarfism. (A = achondroplasia allele; a = average height allele). Red-Green Color blindness is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder (Xc = color blindness allele; XC = normal color vision allele). The 7-year-old son has an autosomal recessive form of deafness. (h = deafness allele; H = normal hearing allele.) All three family members were karyotyped, and additional genetic testing was performed to determine the chromosomal location of the genes being studied. The figures below show the karyotypes of the mother and father with respect to the chromosomes containing the three genes mentioned above. Question: The couple’s 7-year-old son has all three of these genetic conditions (achondroplasia, color blindness and deafness). Taking into consideration the genotypes of his parents, what is the complete…The pedigree below represents the inheritance of a rare genetic disorder (members joining the pedigree are not carriers).
