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?
Having dimples (D) is dominant over not having dimples (d). A dimpled woman (whose father had no dimples and whose mother did have dimples) marries a man whose mother had no dimples, whose father had no dimples, and whose grandparents on his father’s side did have dimples!
a)What are the genotypes of the man and woman?
b) Show the cross.
c)How many different genotypes are possible among the offspring?
d)How many different phenotypes are possible among the offspring?
e)What is the probability of getting DD offspring?
f) What is the probability of getting dd offspring?
g) What is the probability of getting dimpled offspring?
h) What is the probability of getting offspring with no dimples?
i)What is the probability of getting homozygous offspring?
Because red-green colour-blindness is an X-linked recessive condition, which of the following situations is not possible?
a) a colourblind father passes the condition to this daughter
b) a colourblind father passes the condition to his son
c) a heterozygous mother passes the condition to her daughter
d) a heterozygous mother passes the condition to her son
Red-green colour blindness is a deficiency of colour vision so that a person affected by it cannot tell the difference between red and green. This is an X-linked recessive condition.
Which statement is correct?
a) The allele is written as X^r, and an affected female is heterozygous.
b) The allele is written as X^r; an affected male is X^rY and a heterozygous female is X^RX^r
c)The allele is written as X^r and a male with genotype X^RY is affected
d) The allele is written as X^R; a normal male is X^RY and a homozygous recessive female is X^rX^r.

All of their sons are expected to show the dominant trait. b. Their daughters are expected be heterozygous for the gene. c. Their daughters are not expected to show the dominant trait. d. Their sons are expected to be heterozygous for the gene. e. All their children, whether male or female, are expected to show the dominant trait.arrow_forwardWhich of the following CANNOT be true about the inheriteance the trait depicted in the pedigree diagram below? A. It is recessive B. It is dominant C. It is on the X chromosome D. It is recessive, and it is on the X chromosomearrow_forwardI will be adding two questions here because I asked two of the same questions twice by accident earlier. A man and a woman do not have hemophilioa, but the womans father did. (Hemophilia is X-linked recessive). a) What is the probability that they will have a child with hemophilia? b) Is it possible for any of their daughters to be affected? Explain. A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this? a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple allelesarrow_forward
- In the pedigree attached, the shaded symbols represent people affected with a neurological disorder caused by an X-linked recessive allele. The normal allele is D and the recessive allele is d. What are the genotypes of every person in this pedigree? Please explain in as much detail as possible.arrow_forwarda. Determine if the pedigree below can be for a trait that is X-linked traits. Write the genotype of each individual next to the symbol. b. Is it possible that this pedigree is for an X-linked recessive trait? c. What can you conclude about the children if both parents are affected with an X-linked recessive trait?arrow_forwardPhenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease that results from a recessive gene. Suppose that two unaffected parents produce a child with PKU. a. What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele? b.
