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?
A woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?
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?
How does a positive ASO test for sickle-cell anemia determine that an individual is homozygous recessive for the mutation that causes sickle-cell anemia?
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 is the probability of producing a child that willphenotypically resemble either one of the two parentsin the following four crosses? How many phenotypically different kinds of progeny could potentiallyresult from each of the four crosses?a. Aa Bb Cc Dd × aa bb cc ddb. aa bb cc dd × AA BB CC DDc. Aa Bb Cc Dd × Aa Bb Cc Ddd. aa bb cc dd × aa bb cc dd
Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disease. Two individuals, both of whom are heterozygous for a recessive allele that causes the disease have one child who does not have the disease. What is the probability that this child has the potential to pass the disease-causing allele on to the next generation? Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disease. Two individuals, both of whom are heterozygous for a recessive allele that causes the disease have one child who does not have the disease. What is the probability that this child has the potential to pass the disease-causing allele on to the next generation? 1/4 1/2 3/4 2/3
In pedigrees, individuals are usually specified by using a Roman numeral for their generation in the chart and an Arabic number for their position (reading left to right) within that generation. If we use the letter c for the allele that causes cystic fibrosis, what are the genotypes of individuals III-3 and III-4 (the third and fourth individuals shown in generation III) in the pedigree that shows this disease?
At the beginning of the film, you were introduced to Davaun and Skyy Cooper, who both have sickle cell disease. Which of the following must be true about their parents? Group of answer choices One parent has at least one copy of the sickle cell allele. Both parents have at least one copy of the sickle cell allele. Both parents have sickle cell disease. One parent has sickle cell disease.
What could be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for a typical mendelian trait showed in the picture?
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
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.
