Chapter 3, Problem 27QP
Summary Introduction
To predict: The pedigree chart for the family based on the given information.
Introduction: The pedigree chart helps to depict the complete history of the pattern of inheritance of genetic disease from one generation to another generation. The inheritable genetic disease is either autosomal dominant or recessive or sex-linked based on which the probability of disease in a future generation can be predicted.

Assume that color blindness is a recessive character on the X chromosome. A man and woman with normal vision have the following offspring: a daughter with normal vision who has one colorblind son and one normal son; a daughter with normal vision who has six normal sons; and a color-blind son who has a daughter with normal vision. What are the probable genotypes of all individuals?
A woman with a colorblind father marries a colorblind man. What would be all possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring?
A woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?

- If a father has Marfan syndrome, a dominant disorder, and passes it down to all of his children, but his wife does not have the disorder, what would the punnett square between the father and mother look like? Why is this his genotype if all of his children had Marfan syndrome?arrow_forwardA woman with blonde hair and blues eyes, which are recessive genes, marries a heterozygous man who has brown hair and eyes. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children?arrow_forwardIn humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?arrow_forward
- Please discuss during which phases of Meiosis Mendel’s Law of Segregation, and the law of independent assortment take place.arrow_forwardWhat is Mendel’s law of segregation? Allele pairs separate during the formation of gametes, and pair back up upon fertilisation. During meiosis, the alleles of two or more genes separate into the gametes independent of each other. During meiosis. genetic material segregates equally into the resulting gametes. The separation of alleles into different gametes results in genetically distinct offspring. During meiosis, genes that are in close proximity on the genome are more likely to cross over together.arrow_forwardThe outcome of Mendel’s law of independent assortment is dependent on how chromosomes are arranged at which phase?arrow_forward
- A karyotype shows that a child has Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). If the child is also colorblind (due to a recessive X-linked allele), despite his parents having normal color vision, in which parent and stage of meiosis did nondisjunction occur? And explain why .arrow_forwardA brown-eyed man with "hitchhiker's thumb" marries a brown-eyed woman with a straight thumb. If their first child has blue eyes and hitchhiker's thumb, what are the chances that their next child will have brown eyes? In the cross from question #1, what fraction of the couple's subsequent children would be expected to have straight thumbs?arrow_forwardIf the mother has normal color vision but her daughter has red-green colorblindness, what must be the genotype of the sex chromosomes of the two parents (with respect to red-green vision)arrow_forward
- In humans, the genes for colorblindness and hemophilia are both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. If the man dies and the woman remarries a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children that could be expected from the second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could be expected.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardColour blindness is caused by a sex-linked, recessive gene. If a woman, whose father was colour blind, marries a man with normal colour vision, what percentage of their children will be colour blind? Show using a Punnet square crossarrow_forward
