- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?arrow_forwardIn each of the following pedigrees (C, D) by inspection, determine the mode of inheritance involved. Indicate the possible genotypes of all individuals in all the pedigrees.arrow_forwardConsider the two traits: Blood Type B (Parents and Child with Blood Type B, Grandparents unknown) and Earlobe (Father - Hanging; Mother - Attached; Son - Hanging; Grandparents - unkonwn).

- Consider the two traits: Blood Type B (Parents and Child with Blood Type B, Grandparents unknown) and Hanging Earlobe (Parents and Child with Blood Type B, Grandparents unknown). From this, create a 3-generation pedigree chart (starting from grandparents' generation).What is a possible analysis regarding the mode of inheritance of the observed traits?arrow_forwardWhich mode of inheritance is suggested by the following pedigree? Based on this hypothesis, and assuming that the trait is rare and has complete penetrance, what are the possible genotypes of all individuals in this pedigree?arrow_forwardGiven the following pedigree: Is the trait autosomal or sex-linked? Is the trait dominant or recessive? Based only on the information given, what is the probability that I-2 is heterozygous? Give the genotypes of individuals II-3, II-4. What is the probability that individual III-1 is purebreeding?arrow_forward

For the pedigree, what is the probability that III-4 and III-5 will have a boy AND he will be affected?arrow_forwardTwo average sized parents have three children. The first child is very short, the second child is very tall, and the third child is average sized. Explain how quantitative genetics could explain the inheritance pattern of height in this pedigree. Explain how it is possible for these parents to have both a very short and a very tall child.arrow_forwardUsing the given pedigree chart, suppose individuals III-1 and III-2 are expecting their sixth child.

Olga and Hank were normal, healthy hogs, but whenever Farmer Brown crossed them, a few of the piglets had cleft palates. Assuming a simple autosomal basis for cleft palate, what are the genotypes of Olga and Hank, and about what proportion of the piglets are born with a cleft palate?arrow_forwardWhat are the five potential patterns of inheritance that you would REJECT that do not apply to this pedigree? please NAME that specific rejected pattern of inheritance and provide one VERY SPECIFIC reason related to this pedigree that you rejected this pattern.arrow_forward
