Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal disease that mainly affects the white population, and 1 in 20 whites are heterozygotes. Genetic testing can diagnose heterozygotes. Should a genetic screening program for cystic fibrosis be instituted? Should the federal government fund it? Should the program be voluntary or mandatory, and why?
cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by a recessive gene allele. If a woman and man who are both carriers have three children what is the probability that all all three children have the disease? 1/64 1/4 1/33 1
A human disease known as cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait. Two unaffected individuals have a child who has the disease. What is the probability that their next two children will NOT have the disease?

A couple, in which both partners are carriers of (heterozygous for) the allele for cystic fibrosis, a recessive disease in people, has two children that are unaffected by the disease. What is the probability that their next child will be affected? Choose an answer below: 50 % 100 % 25 % 0 % 75 %
A man and woman are both heterozygous for an autosomal recessive disease allele. They would like to have four children. What is the probability that the youngest and oldest children will be affected while the middle two children are not affected? Use two decimal places for your answer.
Huntington's disease is a late-onset autosomal dominant disorder. What is the chance that a heterozygous woman with the disease will pass the affected allele on to her children? 0% 75% 100% 25% 50%
If one parent is heterozygous for an autosomal allele (Aa), and the other is homozygous for the recessive allele (aa), what is the probability that their child will inherit the dominant allele and have the associated trait? 50 percent 75 percent 0 percent 100 percent
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is sex-linked and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life. If your mother's brother (your uncle) had Duchenne's disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele? Show the solution through pedigree analysis.

Huntington's disease is characterized by a late onset of nerve degeneration that leads to death. The allele that causes the disease is dominant. Lucille is homozygous dominant for the disease and Joe is homozygous recessive.
