Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 41P
Consider the cystic fibrosis pedigree in Figure 2.24a.
a. | Assuming that one of the individuals in generation I was a carrier, and that no one from outside the family was a carrier, what was the probability that any single child of the consanguineous couple in generation V would have cystic fibrosis? (Assume that none of their children is born yet, so you don’t know that VI-4 has the disease.) |
b. | Assuming that one of the individuals in generation I was a carrier and that 1/1000 people in the population is a carrier, and knowing that VI-4 has the disease, how likely was it that VII-1 would be affected? |

- Clara has polydactyly, an autosomal dominant that is 80% penetrant. Clara inherited her polydactyly from her mother, her father had no polydactyly in his family. She has an extra toe on her left foot. Her husband Ralph has no polydactyly in his family. A) What is the chance that Clara will have a child that will inherit polydactyly?

Remember that the genotype for the wild-type parent is always homozygous. The counts of the F1 offspring are listed in Table 1. Two randomly selected individuals are selected and mated to produce a set of F2 individuals. If you test the F2 counts to determine whether they are consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, what is your decision? Use a 0.05 significance level.

- Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S.
