Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in which affected people produce black urine. Alkaptonuria results from an allele (a) that is recessive to the allele for normal metabolism (A). Sally has normal metabolism, buther brother has alkaptonuria. Sally’s father has alkaptonuria, and her mother has normal metabolism. Q. Give the genotypes of Sally, her mother, her father, and her brother.
What are alleles? A) alternative forms of a genes for a single trait, such as blue eyes or brown eyesB)the location of genes on a chromosomeC) genes for different traits, such as hair color or eye color D)dominant form of a kind of characteristic carried by genesE) recessive forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes
Albinism is a condition in which pigmentation islacking. In humans, the result is white hair, nonpigmented skin, and pink eyes. The trait in humans iscaused by a recessive allele. Two normal parentshave an albino child. What are the parents’ genotypes?What is the probability that the next child will bealbino?
Height of the people is controlled by several pairs of genes, which interact by type of polymeria (polygenic inheritance). In some population the shortest people have all recessive genes and height 150 sm. And the highest people have all dominant genes and height 180 sm. Define height of people, which are heterozygous for three pairs of genes.

The ability to roll the tongue into a tube is a single-gene dominant trait governed by the R The recessive allele for lacking the ability is r. A woman who can roll her tongue has a father who cannot. What is her tongue-rolling genotype? RR Rr rr either A or B cannot tell from the information provided
Duchennnes’s muscular dystrophy is caused by a rare sex-linked allele and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker starting early in life. If your mother’s brother (your uncle) had Duchennes’s disease, what is the probability that you received the allele?
1-Pedigrees exhibiting consanguinity, show increased presence of _________ traits? a-Dominant Traits b-Recessive Traits c-X-linked Traits d-Disease Traits
Consider two genes. The first one is autosomal with dominant allele A and recessive allele a in the population. The second gene is on the X chromosome with dominant allele R and recessive allele r. Recall that the male Y chromosome has no gene alleles. Match the mode of inheritance (MOI) with the sentence that best describes it.
Wooly, curly hair is due to a rare dominant allele (H) and its recessive allele (h) produces straight hair. Another gene has 2 alleles: (B) dark hair is dominant over (b) blonde. A woman with wooly, blonde hair marries a man with straight, dark hair. Their daughter has straight, blonde hair. What phenotypes and in what proportions can they expect among future children?
A sex-influenced trait in humans affects the length of the index finger. A short allele is dominant in males and recessive in females.Heterozygous males have an index finger that is significantly shorterthan the ring finger. The gene affecting index finger length is locatedon an autosome. A woman with short index fingers has childrenwith a man who has normal index fingers. They produce five children in the following order: female, male, male, female, male. Theoldest female offspring has one daughter with a man who has normal fingers. The youngest male among the five children has childrenwith a woman with short index fingers; they have two sons. Drawthe pedigree for this family. Indicate the phenotypes of every individual (filled symbols for individuals with short index fingers andopen symbols for individuals with normal index fingers)
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
