Suppose that a grandfather, mother, and son all have the same homozygous dominant genotype for a gene that controls facial hair growth. The grandfather and son have thick beards, but the mother has no significant facial hair. What type of hon-Mendelian inheritance is this? Oa) Sex-influenced inheritance O b) Sex-limited inheritance Oc) Onset of genetic expression D d) X-linked dominant inheritance

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?
What is non Mendelian inheritance?
which mode of inheritance does this trait show (autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, X-linked dominant, Y-linked, or mitochondrial). And why?
What is extranuclear inheritance? Describe three examples
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
