Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

8. Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that strikes in middle age. The allele that causes the disease (H) is dominant to the allele that results in the normal condition (h). Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. A. What is the genotype of a man who is normal but whose father had Huntington’s disease? B. What is the genotype of a woman who has Huntington’s disease if both of her parents had Huntington’s disease? C. If a man who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease marries a woman who is normal, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? D. If a normal man marries a woman who is homozygous for Huntington’s disease, what do you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?

What is the phenotype of each of her parents? Genotype? b. What is the chance that the teenager has Marfan syndrome?

How would your calculation change if you knewthat 1 out of every 10 unaffected people in the population (including the unrelated parents of thesecousins) was a carrier for hemochromatosis?
1. A woman with type B blood gives birth to a girl who is type O. Which of the following men could of been the father (a) Joe- Type O (b) Frank -Type B (c) Steve- Type AB (d) both Joe and Frank (e) Joe, Frank or Steve In mice, coat color is due to the inheritance of three genes located on three different chromosomes. The A gene which determine if a yellow band is present on the hair (A= yellow band, aa=no yellow band ) and the B gene which determines if the hair is brown (bb ) or Black (B). The A and B genes interact to produce the following coat colors: Agouti: AB Cinnamon: A bk black: brewn aabb The third gene is the C gene, which determines if the mice has any hair pigment at all. If the mouse has at least one C allele then the coat color will be determined by the A and B genes as described above. However, if the mouse is cc in genotype it will be albino, regardless of the mouse's A and B genotype. aaB 2. In mice coat color (a) the C gene is dominant to the A and B genes (b) the cc…
6. Hemophilia causes severe bleeding from minor wounds. The blood is unable to clot properly because one of the factors necessary for clotting is missing. Hemophilia is an inherited sex-linked recessive disorder transmitted on the X chromosome by mothers to their sons. i) A woman inherited the gene for hemophilia from her mother and marries a man who iş normal and has no hemophilia. What is the possibility that her children can have hemophilia?
1. Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? Use a punnet square. 2. A phenotypically normal man, who has a hemophiliac brother, marries a normal woman, who is not a carrier. What is the probability that any of their children will be hemophiliac? Use a punnet square. 3. Color-blindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was color-blind, marries a colorblind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is color-blind? Use a punnet square. 4.

1. In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome.

What is the genotype for each member of the family?

(C) She contributes an IB allele which is codominant to the father's IA allele. (D) She contributes an allele that is codominant to the father's IB allele. (E) She is homozygous for the IB allele.
