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. What is the probability that their children will have Huntington's disease? 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%

Bill and Marie each have flat feet, long eyelashes, and achoo syndrome (chronic sneezing). All are dominant traits. The genes for these traits each have two alleles, which we can designate as follows: Bill is heterozygous for each trait. Marie is homozygous for all of them. What is Bill's genotype? What is Maries genotype? If they have four children, what is the probability that each child will have the same phenotype as the parents? What is the probability that a child will have short lashes, high arches, and no achoo syndrome?
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?
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?
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
If both parents are heterozygous for an autosomal trait (Aa), what is the probability that their child will inherit two recessive alleles and have the associated trait? 50 percent 25 percent 100 percent 0 percent
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 female children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their FEMALE children only, in other words if they have 1 female child, what is the probability that she will be born colorblind?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 3/4 100% or 4/4
