Because Elsa has received a confirmed diagnosis of beta-thalassemia major, which of the following statements is true about her parents? Only her mother carried the gene that caused her blood disorder. Only her father carried the gene that caused her blood disorder. If her parents have another child naturally, there is a 100% chance that the second child will be diagnosed with beta-thalassemia major. If her parents have another child naturally, there is a 25% chance that the second child will be diagnosed with beta-thalassemia major.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A young couple, Bart and Jenny, are expecting a child and are aware there might be a chance that their child could be affected by this disorder. Jenny (the wife) has ichthyosis, but Bart (her husband) is unaffected and completely normal with respect to the allele responsible for this disorder. Both Bart and Jenny were Biology majors as undergraduates. Knowing a little about the pattern of X-linked recessive inheritance, Bart and Jenny were concerned when ultrasound revealed that they would be having a son. However, genetic testing performed on the baby shortly after birth revealed that their newborn son, Mark, did not…
In people with maple syrup urine disease, the body is unable tometabolize the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. One ofthe symptoms is that the urine smells like maple syrup. An unaffected couple produced six children in the following order: unaffecteddaughter, affected daughter, unaffected son, unaffected son, affectedson, and unaffected son. The youngest unaffected son and an unaffected woman have three children in the following order: affecteddaughter, unaffected daughter, and unaffected son. Draw a pedigreethat describes this family. What type of inheritance (dominant orrecessive) would you propose to explain maple syrup urine disease?
