An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
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?
Color-blindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was color-blind, marries a color-blind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is color-blind? (use the letter “B”)
A mother is heterozygous for the X-linked gene for colorblindness and also heterozygous for the autosomal inherited sickle cell anemia. She is married to a man who can see color normally and who is heterozygous for sickle cell trait. Using b (colorblind), B (normal color), S (normal hemoglobin), s (sickle cell), answer the following: a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b: What is the probability of having a child who is both color blind and has sickle cell anemia?
Red–green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Susan has normal color vision, but her father is color blind. Susan marries Bob, who has normal color vision. a. What is the probability that Susan and Bob will have a color-blind son? b. Susan and Bob have a daughter named Betty, who has normal color vision. If Betty marries a man with normal color vision, and they have a son, what is the probability that the son will be color blind?
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their male children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 4/4 100% or 4/4
A color-blind man marries a woman with normal vision whose father was color-blind. Remember that color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Hint: see figure 12.7 in book. A) What is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind daughter? B) What is the probability that their first son will be color-blind?
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. A woman with normal vision whose father was colorblind has children with a man with normal color vision. What is the probability that their first child will be colorblind? A) 1/4 B) 1/2 C) 3/4 D) 0 E) 1
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked recessive disorder characterized by a progressive loss of muscle tissue. Neither Carla nor Rudy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but their first son does have it. What can you say about Rudy's or Carla's genotype in relation with the disorder? If the couple has a second child, what is the probability that he or she will also have the disease? Show your answers with a Punnet square.
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?
an unaffected woman who is heterozygous for the x linked allele causing duchenne muscular dystrophy has children with a normal man. What is the probability that their first child is an unaffected daughter and their second child is an affected son?
