The questions below all refer to the following pedigree. The locus for allele D/d determines how cilia function within the body. Mutations at this allele cause abnormal ciliary function, resulting in a clinical disorder characterized by frequent respiratory infections (including in the ears, sinuses, and lungs), as well as infertility. In the pedigree, black circles/squares represent individuals affected by the disorder. White circles/squares represent unaffected individuals. Remember, if a trait is rare in a population (such as this one), we assume individuals marrying into the family are NOT carriers unless the information provided indicates otherwise.

Given the pedigree below, answer the following questions. Note that filled symbols represent affected individuals. You assume that the allele carrying the disease is rare and therefore individuals marrying into the family are unlikely to have defective alleles. Also, assume complete penetrance. Q2) What are the genotypes of the following individuals listed in the table below? Use the uppercase “A” to represent the dominant allele and lowercase “a” for the recessive allele. Individual Genotype II-7 III-5 IV-1 IV-3 I-2 III-7
The following pedigree traces the inheritance of a certain genetic disease in a family. The circles represent women and the squares represent men. Individuals with darkened shapes have the disease, while individuals with white shapes do not. The lines indicate the relationship between individuals, either through marriage or by birth. Study the chart and then answer the questions that follow. One of the people on the chart is labeled with the letter A. Which of the following statements correctly describes this person's status in the pedigree? This person does not have the disease, but this person married someone with the disease, and one of the couple's daughters has the disease as well. This person does not have the disease, but this person's father and one of this person's sisters do. This person has the disease and has two daughters with the disease.

The attached image is a pedigree of a family with a history of sickle cell anemia (the individuals with the filled-in symbols have the disease and no new mutations are occurring in any individual). Sickle cell anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. What is the probability that the individual with the question mark (?) will get the disease? a) 1/4 b) 1/2 c) 2/3 d) 1
A couple named Bob and Brené have 2 children: Angela (female) and Arnold (male). Arnold has sickle cell anemia, a disorder that arises from two recessive alleles of the beta globin gene.Genetic tests have revealed that Bob’s father Denzel has the recessive allele, but Bob’s mother Diane does not. Brené’s father Charlie does not have the recessive allele and her mother Candie was never tested, so we don’t know her genotype.A) Draw out the pedigree for this family and indicate each person’s name. Write out all the possible genotypes for each person (use “A” to represent a dominant allele of the gene and “a” to represent a recessive allele of the gene) and the probability that each person is each of those genotypes.
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.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition triggered by the overproduction of stickymucus that clogs the lungs and pancreas. It is a life-threatening disease, but medical advances helpedthe afflicted to live through adulthood.The mother of Claudia died from cystic fibrosis, but her father was normal and never had anyrelative with CF. Her fiancé, Marcus, turned out to be a carrier of the CF allele. What are the genotypes of Claudia and Marcus? Claudia: ________________________ Marcus: _____________________ They planned to have four children. What is the probability that: a. all children will be normal b. at least two will be normal

A sex-influenced trait in humans affects the length of the index finger. A short allele is dominant in males and recessive in females.Heterozygous males have an index finger that is significantly shorterthan the ring finger. The gene affecting index finger length is locatedon an autosome. A woman with short index fingers has childrenwith a man who has normal index fingers. They produce five children in the following order: female, male, male, female, male. Theoldest female offspring has one daughter with a man who has normal fingers. The youngest male among the five children has childrenwith a woman with short index fingers; they have two sons. Drawthe pedigree for this family. Indicate the phenotypes of every individual (filled symbols for individuals with short index fingers andopen symbols for individuals with normal index fingers)
Maple syrup urine disease is an autosomal recessive gene. The R allele leads to a normal protein product, whereas r leads to a mutant protein. Which genotype below will display the Maple syrup urine disease phenotype? A. Rr B. RR C. rr D. Rr and rr
The pedigree below shows a family affected by a disease. Assume that the individuals marked with an asterisk (*) do not carry any allele associated with the affected phenotype, no other mutation spontaneously occurred, and complete penetrance. Answer the following questions below. Use the notation XR for the allele associated with the dominant phenotype and Xr for the allele associated with the recessive phenotype. Q1) Give the genotypes for as many individuals in the pedigree as possible.
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
