In humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?
Albinism is a recessive disorder where there is a lack of melanin. Andrea and her husband Claude both have normal skin pigmentation. Andrea’s mother has the albino phenotype, but her father and her brother do not (normal pigmentation). Claude’s parents are both normal, but he has a sister who has the condition (is albino). Answer the following questions If Andrea and Claude are carriers for the albino allele, what is the probability that they have an albino child? If Andrea and Claude have a second child, what is the probability this child be normal (non-albino)? NOTE: Draw a punnet square or show your work.
For sex-linked recessive traits, only females can be “carriers”, like how both Diana and Olivia are carriers for hemophilia. Why can’t males be carriers for these traits?
what is the probability that a couple (both heterozygous for the same recessive mutation) will have two children with the disease if the couple plans to have four children in total?
A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling affected with cystic fibrosis. (Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease and neither member of the couple nor any of their four parents is affected). What is the probability that the female of this couple is a carrier and what are the chances that their child will be affected with cystic fibrosis?
A person will be lactose intolerant only if he or she inherits two lactose persistence alleles from each parent inherits two defective alleles for lactose persistence from each parent O inherits one lactase persistence allele from the mother O inherits one defective allele for lactose persistence from the father
Two healthy parents have a child who is later diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. What is the genetic term for this kind of disease? Using Mendel’s pattern, pick a letter for this gene and give the genotypes of the parents and the child. What are the odds that their next child will also have cystic fibrosis?
What is the pattern of inheritance shown by the following example? A brown guinea pig mated with a white guinea pig, their offspring are tan.
For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?
Which of the following genetic diseases is/are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait: phenylketonuria, Huntingtons disease, Tay-Sachs disease?
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
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?
