Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant condition in which an individual is born with more than five fingers and toes. Suppose that a man with polydactyly and a woman who does not have polydactyly have children. All of their children have polydactyly. A. In this cross, what is the genotype of the father? What is the genotype of the mother? Use the letter 'D' to indicate the alleles of each genotype. B. What is the genotypic ratio of their offspring?

Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
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?
The pedigree below represents the inheritance of a rare genetic disorder (members joining the pedigree are not carriers). Consider the following pedigree and answer questions (i) to (vii) below. The allele descriptors are B/b. What is the mode of inheritance in this pedigree ?

Using the given pedigree chart, suppose individuals III-1 and III-2 are expecting their sixth child. What is the chance (percent) that the sixth child will have the sickle cell trait?
What are the genotypes of the mother and father in the pedigree below? The pedigree shows albinism (an autosomal recessive trait). The shaded shapes represent albino individuals. a. mother - homozygous dominant; father - homozygous dominant b. mother - heterozygous; father - homozygous recessive c. mother - homozygous recessive; father - heterozygous d. mother - heterozygous; father - heterozygous e. mother - homozygous dominant; father - homozygous recessive

In a cross between an individual with Huntington disease and an unaffected individual, what are the chances their progeny will have the disease, considering that it is a dominant trait?
Assume that one of the students in your class is homozygous for the “Type A” allele and the other student is homozygous for the “Type B” allele. What blood type(s) would you expect to see in their offspring? What if the second was instead “Type O”? Cross two individuals who both have Type AB blood. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in their offspring?
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.
Using the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between a father who has sickle cell anemia and a mother who is heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, what is the probability that both of their first two children will be affected? A) none B) 1/16 C) 1/8 D) ¼ E) ½
