Traits are are controlled by a single gene, such as corn color, can be used fopredictability of trait in inheritance in humans also. This is especially importfor parents who may carry alleles that code for diseases. Parents can predicprobabilities that their child might inherit a disease if they know their owngenotype. Parents that are carriers (heterozygous) may not show disease, bucan still pass on a disease allele. Read the scenario below (in bold). Using aseparate piece of paper and draw out a Punnett square, with requiredinformation (questions 1-5). The letter D will be used to represent the domina(healthy) allele.Tom and his wife Julie are both carriers for cystic fibrosis, an autosomalrecessive disease.Draw a Punnett square and be sure to include the following information for fullcredit:1. Place the parents alleles at the top and on the left side.2. Write in the allele crosses inside the Punnett squares.3. Write out the genotypes probabilities for an offspring.4. Write out the phenotype probabilities for an offspring.5. What is the chance that Tom and Julie's first child will have cystic fibrosis?
