Two affected daughters and two normal sons are born to an affected male and a normal female. Each of the affected daughters (and their normal husbands) gave birth to affected sons and daughters. Normal sons of the couple married normal women and had normal children. Which of the following is the most likely mode of inheritance for this trait?* Sex-linked recessive Sex-linked dominant Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive

A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling with cystic fibrosis. (Cysticfibrosis is a recessive disease, and neither member ofthe couple nor any of their four parents is affected.)a. What is the probability that the female of thiscouple is a carrier?b. What are the chances that their child will havecystic fibrosis?c. What is the probability that their child will be acarrier of the cystic fibrosis disease allele?
In humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?
Two sisters have a father who is homozygous for his recessive blue eyes and a mother who is dominant for her heterozygous brown eyes. One sister has blue eyes, and the other has brown eyes. Which of the following explains the difference in the eye color of the sisters?
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?
Color-blindness (c) is a sex-linked recessive trait, while normal color vision (C) is dominant: If two normal-visioned parents have a color-blind son, what are the parent's genotypes? ~What are the chances that their children will be color-blind?
What is nondisjunction? Why does it cause chromosomal abnormalities? What is aneulploidy? Trisomy? Monosomy? Which kind of monosomy always results in miscarriage in early pregnancy? What do these terms mean: genotype, phenotype, allele, homozygous, heterozygous? Be able to recognize single gene inheritance patterns [autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X linked recessive] from a pedigree. Also, how are simple Mendelian traits transmitted? What genotype produces the phenotype? Why do some inheritance patterns result in many more males than females showing the phenotype? What inheritance patterns do Huntington disease and sickle cell anemia, and hemophilia follow (autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive)? What are some of the symptoms of these diseases?
A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling affected with cystic fibrosis. (Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease and neither member of the couple nor any of their four parents is affected). What is the probability that the female of this couple is a carrier and what are the chances that their child will be affected with cystic fibrosis?
If a man heterozygous for widow’s peak (dominant) marries a woman homozygous for continuous hairline (recessive), what are the chances the children will have a widow's peak? What are the chances the children will have continuous hairline?
Assume that attached earlobes is an autosomal recessive trait with 47% penetrance. If one parent is heterozygous (Aa) and the other homozygous recessive (aa) for the attached earlobe gene, what is the probability that their first child will have attached earlobes?

A couple seeks advice from a genetic counselor because they know that they are both carriers for cystic fibrosis (which is autosomal recessive), and the woman is a carrier for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (which is sex-linked recessive). For each of their future sons and daughters (calculate separately), what is the probability that they will be affected for: Both cystic fibrosis and nuscular dystrophy If the couple’s first born son has both cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, what is the probability that their second born son will have both diseases?
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive human condition. A male with Cystic fibrosis and a woman with a dominant phenotype have sevral children, in which one displays Cystic fibrosis. What can you conclude about the genotype of the maternal parent and what is the probability that a child who does not display Cystic fibrosis is heterozygous?
Identical twins are produced from the same sperm and egg (whichsplits after the first mitotic division), whereas fraternal twins areproduced from separate sperm and separate egg cells. If two parentswith brown eyes (a dominant trait) produce one twin boy with blueeyes, what are the following probabilities?A. If the other twin is identical, he will have blue eyes.B. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will have blue eyes.C. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will transmit the blueeye allele to his or her offspring.D. The parents are both heterozygotes.
