The mother of a family with 10 children has blood typeRh+. She also has a very rare condition (elliptocytosis,phenotype E) that causes red blood cells to be oval rather than round in shape but that produces no adverseclinical effects. The father is Rh− (lacks the Rh+ antigen)and has normal red blood cells (phenotype e). The children are 1 Rh+ e, 4 Rh+ E, and 5 Rh− e. Information isavailable on the mother’s parents, who are Rh+ E andRh− e. One of the 10 children (who is Rh+ E) marriessomeone who is Rh+ e, and they have an Rh+ E child.a. Draw the pedigree of this whole family.b. Is the pedigree in agreement with the hypothesisthat the Rh+ allele is dominant and Rh− is recessive?c. What is the mechanism of transmission ofelliptocytosis?d. Could the genes governing the E and Rh phenotypesbe on the same chromosome? If so, estimate the mapdistance between them, and comment on your result

- Achondroplasia is a rare dominant autosomal defect resulting in dwarfism. The unaffected brother of an individual with achondroplasia is seeking counsel on the likelihood of his being a carrier of the mutant allele. What is the probability that the unaffected client is carrying the achondroplasia allele?arrow_forwardState whether each of the following genetic defects is inherited as an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked recessive trait: phenylketonuria (PKU), sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, Huntingtons disease, and hemophilia A.arrow_forwardMutations in the genes for clotting factor VIII and IX cause hemophilia A and B, respectively. A woman may be heterozygous for mutations in both genes, with a mutated factor VIII allele on one X chromosome, and a mutated factor IX allele on the other. All of her sons should have either hemophilia A or B. However, on rare occasions, one of these women gives birth to a son who does not have hemophilia, and his one X chromosome does not have either mutated allele. Explain.arrow_forward

A recessive mutation in this gene causes the most common type of hemophilia; it is known as hemophilia A. If this gene is mutated in the hemophilia, but it will always cause this type of hemophilia if mutated in the This is because have two X chromosomes; since this is a recessive mutation, more than likely the other X chromosome has the normal gene.

- In humans, the Rh factor genetic information is inherited from our parents, but it is inherited independently of the ABO blood type alleles. In humans, Rh+ individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh- individuals do not. There are two different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and rh. Assume that a dominant gene Rh produces the Rh+ phenotype, and that the recessive rh allele produces the Rh- phenotype. In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if 160 out of 200 individuals are Rh+, calculate the frequencies of both alleles.arrow_forwardA woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes.
