Question

In this figure, the black circles and squares indicate a genetic disease.
A. Based on the pedigree in the figure, does this gene appear to be inherited in a dominant or
recessive manner? Explain your prediction.
B. Use the letter a to indicate a disease allele and the letter A to indicate a normal allele. Predict
the genotypes of the original parents.
C. What percentage of the offspring of the original parents would you expect to have the
disease?
D. Predict the genotype of the partner of the diseased daughter in generation II. Justify your
prediction.

Expert Solution

Step 1

When even one member of the family has a genetic condition, analyzing the pedigree can provide information about the pattern of inheritance of the ailment and the significant threat to other family members. Gene penetrance and gene expressivity can also be estimated via pedigree analysis.
