A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
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.
Imagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Assuming that the dominant allele in each gene pair exhibits complete dominance over the recessive allele, what is the probability that this couple would have a daughter who exhibits the recessive phenotype with respect to all seven of the gene pairs?
Colour-blindness is the result of an X-linked recessive allele, Xc. The allele for normal eyesight is XC. (a) A woman with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a colour-blind man. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of their children. What ratio of their children can be expected to be colour-blind? (b) A man with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a woman carrier of the colour-blind allele. What is the likelihood that their children will be colour-blind? Carriers of the trait?
The Delacour family is descended from the Veela race, a semi-human, semi-magical humanoid people reminiscent of the Sirens in Greek mythology with special powers. Imagine that being a Veela and having these powers is a X-Linked Dominant trait that is passed on genetically. (Hint: Use the Punnett Square.) What are the possible genotypes for Fleur and Bill’s daughter, Victoire? What are the genotypic frequencies related to the female children (in percentage format)? What is the likelihood (in percentage format) that Victoire would express Veela powers?
The allele for hitchhiker’s thumb (h) is recessive to straight thumb (H). If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype? What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype? What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
In the fictitious monster Lochnessius coolnameii, coat color is under the control of an autosomal gene, with white coat (W) dominant over black coat (w). The monster’s ability to produce horns is a sex-influenced trait, that is dominant in males but recessive in females. Let Horned = H, and hornless = h. Consider the cross of a homozygous white & horned male with a homozygous black & hornless female. What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in the F1? What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in the F2? In what ratios? Zappy is a horned white male. It was bred to the following four females, and the results are presented here: Mother Offspring Alcremie: hornless, black 1 horned white female Blissey: hornless, white 1 hornless black female Chansey: horned, black 1 horned, white female Delcattie: hornless, white 1 hornless, black male + 1 Horned white…
If an individual has the dominant phenotype for an x-linked trait, what is/are the possible genotype(s)? if an individual has the recessive phenotype for an x-linked trait, what what is/are the possible genotype(s)? Practice a Punnet square for each of the following autosomal combinations. Assume complete dominance. Determine the genotype and phenotype ratios of the offspring.

In human beings, the gene for red‑green colorblindness (r) is sex‑linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal‑visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. What is the probability that the first child born to the couple will either be a freckled, colorblind boy or a non‑freckled, normal visioned girl or a non-freckled, normal visioned boy? What is the probability that the first four children born to the couple will be freckled and normal visioned girls?
