This case explores how skin color is inherited in humans, presented in the story of Catherine and Richard Howarth whose children are surprisingly light skinned compared to their Nigerian mother. Based on what you have learned about polygenic inheritance, explain how Richard and Catherine Howarth were able to produce light-skinned babies. Are the odds indeed 1 in a million? Include possible genotypes of the couple and their children to support your argument.
Dominant vs. Recessive genes
What do you mean by recessive disease?
A couple named Bob and Brené have 2 children: Angela (female) and Arnold (male). Arnold has sickle cell anemia, a disorder that arises from two recessive alleles of the beta globin gene.Genetic tests have revealed that Bob’s father Denzel has the recessive allele, but Bob’s mother Diane does not. Brené’s father Charlie does not have the recessive allele and her mother Candie was never tested, so we don’t know her genotype.A) Draw out the pedigree for this family and indicate each person’s name. Write out all the possible genotypes for each person (use “A” to represent a dominant allele of the gene and “a” to represent a recessive allele of the gene) and the probability that each person is each of those genotypes.
