Below is a pedigree of a human genetic disease in which solid color indicates affected individuals. Assume that the disease is caused by a gene that can have the alleles A or a. a) Based on this pedigree, what is the most likely mode of inheritance? b) What is/are the possible genotype/s of person 1? c) What is/are the possible genotype (s) of person 4 ? Explain your answers.
The pedigree below shows three generations of a family that carries albinism, an autosomal recessive genetic disease. In the third generation, a child was born with albinism but the genotypes of the rest of the family are unknown. No other family members have the disease. Assume normal, Mendelian genetics with no new mutations. What are the genotypes of the parents of the affected child? A) There is not enough information to determine their genotypes B) Both are homozygous for albinism C) One is hemizygous and one is heterozygous for albinism D) Both are heterozygous for albinism E) One is homozygous and one is heterozygous for abinism
The pedigree below tracks a genetic abnormality through five generations of a family tree. The trait, polydactyly, is characterized by extra fingers (left), toes, or both. The pedigree shows the number of fingers on each hand in black; toes in each foot, in red. (Appears black in pedigree chart) ( please solve a-c: thank you!) a) using the pedigree, describe the genotypes of the parents for the trait polydactyl in generation I. b) explain how humans are able to produce gametes that are haploid. c) according to the pedigree, explain the inheritance pattern of the genetic abnormality polydactyly.
Pedigree information regarding the incidence of Tay-Sachs within a family is depicted above. The row below that indicates the genotypes of individuals II-1, II-2, and III-1 is Select one: a. II-1 II-2 III-1 Aa Aa aa b. II-1 II-2 III-1 XAY XAXA XaXa

The pedigree below is of a rare single gene disease. Given the pedigree shown below, what is the most likely pattern of inheritance for this disease? Explain your answer. Note that closed symbols are for individuals affected by the disease and open symbols are unaffected individuals (limit 3-4 sentences).
In the pedigree attached, the shaded symbols represent people affected with a neurological disorder caused by an X-linked recessive allele. The normal allele is D and the recessive allele is d. What are the genotypes of every person in this pedigree? Please explain in as much detail as possible.
The pedigree below shows the inheritance of fur color in rabbits. What is the mode of inheritance for the black fur color trait? a) x-linked dominant b)autosomal recessive c)autosomal dominant d) x-linked recessive
Rabbits may be classified as agouti, chinchilla, Himalayan, or albino according to coat color. A cross between CC h x C ch c produced 5 agouti, 3 chinchilla and 2 Himalayans. a. What are the phenotypes of the parent rabbits? Copy the genotypes then write the corresponding phenotype beside each. b. What are the genotypes of the F1s? c. What mode of inheritance is exhibited? d. If the two F1 agouti genotypes will be crossed, what percentage of theiroffspring will have the same phenotype? e. What will be the genotypes of the rabbits in (d)?
In the accompanying pedigree, the vertical lines stand for protan color blindness, and the horizontal lines stand for deutan color blindness. These are separate conditions causing different misperceptions of colors; each is determined by a separate gene.a. Does the pedigree show any evidence that the genes are linked? b. If there is linkage, does the pedigree show any evidence of crossing over? Explain your answers to parts a and b with the aid of the diagram. c. Can you calculate a value for the recombination between these genes? Is this recombination by independent assortment or by crossing over?(picture added)
The pedigree pictured is of an extended family where a large percentage of family members develop colon cancer at an early age. In this family, individuals either get colon cancer before the age of 16, or they don’t get it at all. a) Based on the information you have been given, what evidence, if any, suggests an inherited contribution to the development of this disease? b) You take a medical history of all 33 people in the pedigree and discover that a large percentage drink a special coffee on a daily basis, while others do not. The individuals who do not drink coffee are I-1, II-2, II-4, II-9, III-7, III-13, IV-1, and IV-3. Could drinking this special coffee play a role in colon cancer? Explain.
