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?
Go back to Problem 1, and assume you now study a third gene having alleles C and c. For each genotype listed, what type(s) of gametes can be produced? a. AABBCC b. AaBBcc c. AaBBCc d. AaBbCc
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal disease that mainly affects the white population, and 1 in 20 whites are heterozygotes. Genetic testing can diagnose heterozygotes. Should a genetic screening program for cystic fibrosis be instituted? Should the federal government fund it? Should the program be voluntary or mandatory, and why?
In letter B: If the map distance equals the number of recombinant/total of offspring, wouldn't it be 24/806 x 100? Wouldn't we add both recombinants? Can you explain letter C? I don't grasp that concept well. And since I'm using my question already, would you be able to answer D. Thank you!
A couple who are about to get married learn from studying their family histories that, in both their families, theirunaffected grandparents had siblings with cystic fibrosis(a rare autosomal recessive disease).a. If the couple marries and has a child, what is theprobability that the child will have cystic fibrosis?b. If they have four children, what is the chance that thechildren will have the precise Mendelian ratio of 3:1 fornormal:cystic fibrosis?c. If their first child has cystic fibrosis, what is theprobability that their next three children will be normal?
If the proband (III-2) marries a heterozygous woman, what is the probability that they will have a heterozygous daughter? If this same couple has a son, what is the probability that he will be affected? Show complete solutions and box or highlight your final answers.
Along with the trait in the pedigree, individual IV-6 and the woman are also both heterozygous for the autosomal dominant allele causing Huntington's disease. If they have a child, what is the probability that it will be affected by at least one of these traits? Remember to include both the trait in the pedigree and Huntington's disease in your calculations. Enter your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.55).
Four human pedigrees are shown in the accompanying illustration. The black symbols represent an abnormal phenotype inherited in a simple Mendelian manner.a. For each pedigree, state whether the abnormal condition is dominant or recessive. Try to state the logic behind your answer. b. For each pedigree, describe the genotypes of as many persons as possible.
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.
Ch. 13-3 Refer to problem 2. Determine the predicted genotype frequencies among the offspring of the following crosses:a. AABB × aaBB b. AaBB × AABb c. AaBb × aabb d. AaBb × AaBb
A type of red-green colorblindness is inherited recessively on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier had children with a male that is not affected by the disease. Show your answers with the use of a Punnett square • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a child is affected by the disease? • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a son is a carrier? (Careful!) • Is there a chance that a girl of the couple is affected by the disease?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder caused by a recessive allele. Two carrier individuals have progeny. If they have a normal child, what is the probability that he or she will be heterozygous? Show solutions.
