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?
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?

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?
A couple who are about to get married learn from studying their family histories that, in both their families, theirunaffected grandparents had siblings with cystic fibrosis(a rare autosomal recessive disease).a. If the couple marries and has a child, what is theprobability that the child will have cystic fibrosis?b. If they have four children, what is the chance that thechildren will have the precise Mendelian ratio of 3:1 fornormal:cystic fibrosis?c. If their first child has cystic fibrosis, what is theprobability that their next three children will be normal?
Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele unless otherwise indicated. Assume complete penetrance. image attached a. Is it possible for the inheritance pattern for the trait illustrated in this pedigree to be as a result of each of the following? Answer yes or no. (i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR)(ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD)(iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR)(iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Provide a set of parents that definitively supports your answers in (a).
Assume that attached earlobes is an autosomal recessive trait with 47% penetrance. If one parent is heterozygous (Aa) and the other homozygous recessive (aa) for the attached earlobe gene, what is the probability that their first child will have attached earlobes? Show calculations please! a. 50%b. 11.75%c. 25%d. 23.5%e. 74%
A couple seeks advice from a genetic counselor because they know that they are both carriers for cystic fibrosis (which is autosomal recessive), and the woman is a carrier for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (which is sex-linked recessive). For each of their future sons and daughters (calculate separately), what is the probability that they will be affected for: Cystic fibrosis Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Hypophoshatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by deficiency of pho[hates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children. a.) Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Explain b.) Draw a Punnett square to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios
a. The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamideis an autosomal dominant phenotype, and the inabilityto taste it is recessive. If a taster woman with a nontasterfather marries a taster man who in a previous marriagehad a nontaster daughter, what is the probability thattheir first child will be(1) A nontaster girl(2) A taster girl(3) A taster boyb. What is the probability that their first two childrenwill be tasters of either sex?
Bryan has albinism, an autosomal recessive trait, which means he is homozygous recessive for albinism and his genotype is aa. Bryan's parents, Frank and Amy, do not have albinism however they must both be heterozygous. Bryan's sister, Allice, is a carrier for albinism. If Allice has offspring with Jim, who has no family history of albinism, what are the chances that their offspring are carriers for albinism? What are the chances that they children will get albinism? Use Punnett squares.
