A SNP marker is found linked to the cystic fibrosis gene. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease. A couple plans to have children together and both are carriers for the cystic fibrosis gene but do not have the disease themselves. They are both A1/A2 at the SNP and the A2 allele is linked with the allele causing cystic fibrosis. Assuming no crossing over between the SNP and the disease gene, what genotypes in the offspring could result that would cause cystic fibrosis? O A1-cf, A1 - cf O A2 - cf, A2 - cf

The following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine coat color in rats:A-B- (gray); A-bb (yellow); aaB-(black); aabb (cream)A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whetherany color will be produced. The CC and Cc genotypes allow coloraccording to the expression of the A and B alleles. However,the cc genotype results in albino rats regardless of the A and Balleles present. Determine the F1 phenotypic ratio of the followingcrosses: (a)AAbbCC * aaBBcc; (b) AaBBcc * AABbcc;(c) AaBbCc * AaBbcc.

The pedigree below shows that inheritance of a disease that is caused by a late onset, dominant, autosomal mutation that is rare, but only 50% penetrant. The gene that is mutated in the disease is linked at a distance of 10 cm to a microsatellite marker that has alleles numbered 1, 2, and 3. The marker alleles detected in each individual are indicated below. What is the probability that individual A will develop the disease? Explain using an illustration of this occurs.
Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature: the legs and arms of people with achondroplasia are short compared with the head and trunk. The disorder is due to a base substitution in the gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, that encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Although achondroplasia is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, more than 80% of the people who have achondroplasia are born to parents with normal stature. This high percentage indicates that most cases are caused by newly arising mutations; these cases (not inherited from an affected parent) are referred to as sporadic. Studies have demonstrated that sporadic cases of achondroplasia are almost always caused by mutations inherited from the father (paternal mutations). In addition, the occurrence of achondroplasia is higher among the children of older fathers; approximately 50% of children with achondroplasia are born to fathers…
Imagine that individual V-8 marries a female cousin who is a carrier of the 5αRD mutation. What is the probability that they will have a child who has the disorder? answer should be a fraction.
Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by seizures, mental retardation, autism, and benign tumors of the brain, heart, skin, and kidneys. The kidney tumors can also be malignant. This disease exhibits a wide range of severity, and only about 1/3 of the cases are inherited. Two different genes have been tightly linked to the disease in families where it is inherited. The remaining 2/3 appear to be due to mutations in one of the 2 genes as well. Overall it appears that 1/2 are caused by mutations in TSC1 and the other half by mutations in TSC2. A rat model for hereditary renal carcinoma (kidney cancer) has been found. Southern and Northern blot analysis of the TSC1 and TSC2 gene revealed no differences between these rats and normal rats. Not all the rats in the strain would get cancer but a significant proportion did and those were selected for and used in experiments. 1. a) What was detected by the Southern blots? (look this up, make your…
The DNA of every individual in the pedigree shown below has been sequenced at the causative locus. All the non-shaded individuals are wild type apart from III.1. III.1 has been proven to have the causative mutation for this autosomal dominant condition, but they exhibit no symptoms. Based on this small pedigree, what is the level of penetrance for the condition? Please give your answer as a WHOLE percentage, give the number only, no percentage symbol. Answer: The level of penetrance for the condition shown in the pedigree below is Blank 1 percent. 1:1 1:2 Il:1 I1:2 I1:3 Il:4 I1:5 I1:6 II:1 I:2 III:3 III:4 III:3 III:6 III:7 III:8 III:9 III:10 III:11 III12 II:13 III:14 IV:1 | IV:2 IV:3 IV:4 IV:5 IV:6 IV:7 IV:8 IV:9 IV:10 IV:11 IV:12 IV:13 IV:14 IV:15 IV:16 IV:17 IV:18 IV:19 V:1 V:2 V:3 V:4 V:5 V:6 V:7 V:8 V:9 V:10 V:11 V:12

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease.

Cystic fibrosis in humans is caused by mutations in a single gene and is inherited as an autosomal (non-sex chromosome) recessive trait. An unaffected couple has two children.
