Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and homozygous dominant for Tay-Sachs. The female is homozygous recessive for Huntington’s disease and heterozygous for Tay-Sachs. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting Tay-Sachs and/or Huntington’s. For humans, Huntington’s disease is dominant (H) over the “normal” condition (h), and the “normal” condition is dominant (T) over Tay-Sachs (t). Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.

The next four questions go together. Cystic fibrosis (f) and deafness (d) are caused by two unlinked autosomal recessive alleles, and colorblindness is caused by an X-linked recessive allele Xc. A female who is deaf and is a carrier for cystic fibrosis and colorblindness marries a male who is colorblind and is a carrier for cystic fibrosis and deafness. I. What are the female's and male's genotypes? II) What is the probability their first child is a phenotypically normal female? Enter your answer as percent without the percent sign to two digits (e.g. 12.34). III) What is the probability their first child is a phenotypically normal male? Enter your answer as percent without the percent sign to two digits (e.g. 12.34). IV) What is the probability their first child has all three conditions ? Enter your answer as percent without the percent sign to two digits (e.g. 12.34).
Red-green color blindness is inherited through an X-linked, recessive allele (b). Two parents, Fred and Ginger, have normal vision. They have two daughters, Takiyah and Kelly, who also have normal vision, and a color-blind son, David. 3. Daughter Kelly has a color-blind son, Kevin. Daughter Takiyah has five sons, all with normal vision. What are the genotypes of all the individuals? Show all your work! Fred Ginger David Takiyah Kelly Kevin Takiyah's five sons If Kelly marries a man with normal vision, what is the probability that she'll have a color-blind son? a color-blind daughter?
