Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism caused by a dominant, autosomal allele that diminishes bone growth in a dose dependent manner where homozygosity results in termination. When two people with achondroplasia have a child, what is the probability that their third child will be born without achondroplasia? O 1/3 or 0.33 O 9/64 or 0.14 O 1/4 or 0.25 O There is no way this could happen O 27/64 or O.42
Assume that attached earlobes are an autosomal recessive trait with 73% penetrance. If one parent is heterozygous (Aa) and the other homozygous recessive (aa) for the attached earlobe gene, what is the probability that their second child will have attached earlobes? O 73% O 36.5% O 50% O 63.5% O 27% O 13.5% O 18.75%
Along with the trait in the pedigree, individual IV-6 and the woman are also both heterozygous for the autosomal dominant allele causing Huntington's disease. If they have a child, what is the probability that it will be affected by at least one of these traits? Remember to include both the trait in the pedigree and Huntington's disease in your calculations. Enter your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.55).
In the following pedigree of an autosomal recessive disorder, what is the probability that IV-1 will be affected? I II III IV 1/2 1/12 O 3/4 2/3 O 1/4 Rr 1 R 2 Rr 2 R 3 RR 3 R 1 5 Rr 4 2
In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.
The three genes X, Y, and Z are linked on an autosomal chromosome in humans (X to Y is 15 cM, and Y to Z is 18 cM). If an individual that is heterozygous at all three loci (XYZ/xyz) has children with an individual that is homozygous recessive at all three loci (xyz/xyz), what is the probability that they will have a child that is phenotypically identical to either parent (X-Y-Z- or xxyyzz)? Assume there is no genetic interference to double crossover events at this site.
A couple seeks advice from a genetic counselor because they know that they are both carriers for cystic fibrosis (which is autosomal recessive), and the woman is a carrier for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (which is sex-linked recessive). For each of their future sons and daughters (calculate separately), what is the probability that they will be affected for: Both cystic fibrosis and nuscular dystrophy If the couple’s first born son has both cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, what is the probability that their second born son will have both diseases?
For individual lll-6, how do you get 2/3 for the probability of heterozygous? What are the three offspring you're talking about?
Most forms of albinism are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Using a Punnett square, determine the chance that a child would phenotypically express albinism if the genotypes for both parents is Aa, where "A" indicates the dominant unaffected allele and "a" indicates the recessive affected allele. O 75% chance O 50% chance O 0% chance O 100% chance O 25% chance
A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twin’s risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Farmer Brown had two hogs, Olga and Hank. 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?
Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why
