You have been hired to produce a family tree for three generations of a family where a disorder called “blinky” syndrome is observed. People who suffer from blinky syndrome blink their eyes rapidly when they look at bright lights. In order to draw a pedigree chart for this family, you interview Mike and Annie. Neither suffer from this syndrome. Annie’s mother is normal, while Annie’s father blinked like crazy at bright lights. Annie has one sister and one brother and both of them are unaffected. While Annie’s sister has yet to have kids, her brother married a blinky sufferer. Mike’s mother is a blinker while his father is normal. Mike’s brother is just like their mother. In addition, this brother married a blinker. Mike’s sister is normal - as is her husband and their one boy. Draw a pedigree chart below in order to answer the following on the next page. Use the letters A and a for the genotypes. If more than one genotype is possible for an individual - you may write it as A with a…

Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is sex-linked and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life. If your mother's brother (your uncle) had Duchenne's disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele? Show the solution through pedigree analysis.
Dimples (D) are a dominant trait genetic trait. Complete a Punnett Square to determine the possible phenotypes and genotypes of a cross between a man who is homozygous dominant and a heterozygous woman. Choose the percentages correctly below. Dimples: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% No dimples: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% DD: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% Dd: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% dd: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal genetic disorder caused by a recessive allele. The pedigree chart below shows the appears of the disease in three generations of a family. Tell the genotype or possible genotypes of each member of the family. Be sure to define your variables.
Which of the following contains all the possible phenotypes that could be the result of parents who are group O and group A? Please select the single best answer Groups A or O only Group A only Group O only All possible blood groups
Draw a pedigree chart for the family described below and use the chart to determine the genotype or possible genotypes of each member of the family. Be sure to define your variables. In humans, having freckles is dominant over not having them. Both Mr. And Mrs. Chambers have freckles. Of their three children, Robin and Daniel have freckles but Alex does not. Robin marries Stephen, who does not have freckles. They have two children, Kevin and Beth, who do not have freckles. Daniel marries Diane who also has freckles. They have one son, Phillip, who also has freckles. Alex marries Mary, who has freckles. They have one daughter, Norma, who does not have freckles.
The picture shown here is pedigree chart for a family, some of whose members exhibit the dominant trait, a widow's peak. Individuals with a widow's peak are indicated by a filled square or circle. Individuals with a straight hairline are indicated by an empty square or circle. What is the probability that individual III-1 has a genotype of Ww? Explain your answer.
In a pedigree chart, an unfilled square symbol with the numbers II3 below it represents which of the following? A person of unknown gender who has a genetic disease in the family being studied. The second individual, who is a male, in the third generation of the family. The third individual, who is male, in the second generation of the family. The second son or daughter in a family of three.
