Analysis of Autosomal Recessive and Dominant Traits In the following pedigree, assume that the father of the proband is homozygous for a rare trait. What pattern of inheritance is consistent with this pedigree? In particular, explain the phenotype of the proband.
In humans, a rare dominant disorder known as nail-patella syndromecauses abnormalities in the fingernails, toenails, and kneecaps.Researchers have examined family pedigrees with regard to thisdisorder and have also examined the blood types of individualswithin each pedigree. (A description of blood genotypes is foundin Chapter 4.) In the following pedigree, individuals affected withnail-patella disorder are shown with filled symbols. The genotypeof each individual with regard to ABO blood type is also shown.Does this pedigree suggest any linkage between the gene thatcauses nail-patella syndrome and the gene that causes blood type?

A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) This woman is phenotypically normal. Does thissurprise you? Why or why not? Under what circumstancesmight you expect a phenotypic effect of such arearrangement?

The Online Mendelian Inheritancein Man (OMIM) databaseis a catalog of human genesand human disorders that are inheritedin a Mendelian manner. Genetic disordersthat arise from major chromosomalaberrations, such as monosomyor trisomy(the loss of a chromosome orthe presence of a superfluous chromosome,respectively), are not included.The OMIM database, updated daily, is aversion of the book Mendelian Inheritancein Man, conceived and edited by Dr. VictorMcKusick of Johns Hopkins University,until he passed in 2008.The OMIM entries provide links to awealth of information, including DNAand protein sequences, chromosomalmaps, disease descriptions, and relevantscientific publications. In this exercise,you will explore OMIM to answer questionsabout the recessive human diseasesickle-cell anemia and other Mendelianinherited disorders.Exercise I – Sickle-Cell AnemiaIn this chapter, you were introduced torecessive and dominant human traits.You will now discover more about sicklecellanemia as an…
Wooly hair is a rare dominant trait found in people of Scandinavian descent in which the hair resembles the wool of a sheep. Amale with wooly hair, who has a mother with straight hair, movesto an island that is inhabited by people who are not of Scandinavian descent. Assuming that no other Scandinavians immigrate tothe island, what is the probability that a great-grandchild of thismale will have wooly hair? (Hint: You may want to draw a pedigree to help you figure this out.) If this wooly-haired male haseight great-grandchildren, what is the probability that one out ofeight will have wooly hair?
