Suppose a man is heterozygous for heterochromia, an autosomal dominant disorder which causes two different-colored eyes in an individual, produced 25-offspring with his normal-eyed wife. Of their children, 15 were heterochromatic and 10 were-normal. Calculate the chi-square value for this observation. x = Identify the statement that best interprets the results of the chi-square analysis. Refer to the chi-square distribution table to identify the statement that best interprets the chi-square results. O There is a significant difference between the observed number of offspring with heterochromia and the number of offspring that were expected to have heterochromia.

Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?
Suppose a man is heterozygous for heterochromia, an autosomal dominant disorder which causes two different‑colored eyes in an individual, produced 25‑offspring with his normal‑eyed wife. Of their children, 16 were heterochromatic and 9 were‑normal. Calculate the chi‑square value for this observation.

A brown-eyed man, whose father was brown-eyed and whose mother was blue-eyed, married a blue-eyed woman whose father and mother were both brown-eyed' The couple has a blue-eyed son. For which of the individuals mentioned can you be sure of the genotypes? What genotypes are possible for the others?
Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by a lack of ⍺-glucosidase, the enzyme that converts glycogen to glucose in the muscles. Babies born with this disorder die by the age of two. pope disease is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of two recessive autosomal alleles. A. A man and a woman heterozygous for the condition have two female unaffected children. Determine, using a Punnett square, the probability, expressed as a whole number percentage, of a fourth baby being born a male with Pompe disease. B. Iftheman,fromthepreviousquestion,hadtypeAbloodandthewomanhadtypeO blood, what would be probability of them having a daughter with type O blood and affected with Pompe disease? (Show clearly your calculations and express your answer as a frequency between 0 - 1 and rounded to 2 decimal places)
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?
