Question
Traits are are controlled by a single gene, such as corn color, can be used fo
predictability of trait in inheritance in humans also. This is especially import
for parents who may carry alleles that code for diseases. Parents can predic
probabilities that their child might inherit a disease if they know their own
genotype. Parents that are carriers (heterozygous) may not show disease, bu
can still pass on a disease allele. Read the scenario below (in bold). Using a
separate piece of paper and draw out a Punnett square, with required
information (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 autosomal
recessive disease.
Draw a Punnett square and be sure to include the following information for full
credit:
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?
