A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Albinism is a recessive genetic condition in which a person lacks pigment that gives color to the skin. If the allele for albinism is represented as "a," and the functional allele is represented as "A," what will be the genotype of a person with albinism? Aa or AA Aa or aa AA aa
Albinism is a recessive disorder where there is a lack of melanin. Andrea and her husband Claude both have normal skin pigmentation. Andrea’s mother has the albino phenotype, but her father and her brother do not (normal pigmentation). Claude’s parents are both normal, but he has a sister who has the condition (is albino). Answer the following questions Determine the genotypes for Claude, Claude’s parents, and sister. NOTE: Draw a punnet square or show your work.

A is a dominant gene for normal pigment, and a is its recessive allele for albinism (and pink eyes). B is a dominant gene for brown eyes, and b is its recessive allele (blue). What is the mother's genotype if two brown-eyed parents have fraternal twins, one with blue eyes and one with pink eyes (albino)? a. AaBb b. AaBB c. aaBb d. aabb e. AABB
An individual with a form of red-green color blindness processes a genetically inherited trait that makes it difficult to distinguish red and green color hues. Red-green color blindness tends to skin generations and it is found much more often in men than in women. If a man who was normal and a woman who is a carrier for this form of colorblindness have a child, when the probability that the child will be red-green colorbind is: -0% -25% -50% -75% -100%

Suppose a mutant fruit fly with blue eyes was recently discovered. It is later determined that the blue eye trait is recessive to the wild-type red eye trait. What is the most common way to represent the mutant and wild-type alleles?. Choices are Mutant: Bl, bl Wild-type: Bl+ , re, bl+, or wt
The allele for albinism is recessive to the allele for normal skin pigmentation. All individuals who are homozygous for this recessive allele (m) are unable to produce the enzyme needed for melanin production and are referred to as albinos. In the following statements, determine the correct genotypes: An albino male (genotype A) whose parents both have normal skin pigmentation (genotype B) marries a woman who does not have albinism (genotype C). This woman’s father is an albino (genotype D). The married couple has three children, two with normal skin pigmentation (genotype E) and one exhibiting albinism (genotype F)
A healthy young couple, Charlie and Eva, both with families histories of cystic fibrosis, visits a genetic counselor before deciding whether to have children. The genetic counselor analyzed their pedigree to determine if they are carriers of the alleles for cystic fibrosis. On a sheet of paper, draw the given pedigree chart below and label each individual with the correct genotype.
