In this figure, the black circles and squares indicate a genetic disease. Males are represented by squares, females by circles. A. Based on the pedigree in the image, does this gene appear to be inherited in a dominant or recessive manner? Explain your prediction. B. Use the letter B to indicate a diseased allele and the letter b to indicate a normal allele. Predict the genotype of the married female child in generation II. Justify your prediction. C. If the female in generation II has a second child, what is the chance that this child will inherit the disease? Explain.

The pedigree below shows a family affected by a disease. Assume that the individuals marked with an asterisk (*) do not carry any allele associated with the affected phenotype, no other mutation spontaneously occurred, and complete penetrance. Answer the following questions below. Use the notation XR for the allele associated with the dominant phenotype and Xr for the allele associated with the recessive phenotype. Q1) Give the genotypes for as many individuals in the pedigree as possible.
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?
