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.

A woman afflicted with a certain illness marries a normal man. They have four children (two boys and two girls); all boys have their mother's illness, but none of the girls have it. See individuals outline by blue square in the family tree below which indicates these individuals. Their children marry and have children of their own. Their family tree is shown below.

What is nondisjunction? Why does it cause chromosomal abnormalities? What is aneulploidy? Trisomy? Monosomy? Which kind of monosomy always results in miscarriage in early pregnancy? What do these terms mean: genotype, phenotype, allele, homozygous, heterozygous? Be able to recognize single gene inheritance patterns [autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X linked recessive] from a pedigree. Also, how are simple Mendelian traits transmitted? What genotype produces the phenotype? Why do some inheritance patterns result in many more males than females showing the phenotype? What inheritance patterns do Huntington disease and sickle cell anemia, and hemophilia follow (autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive)? What are some of the symptoms of these diseases?
Which of the following defines polygenic inheritance? An inheritance pattern in which one allele is not fully dominant over another, so the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate blend of the two homozygous phenotypes An inheritance pattern in which the full and separate phenotypic effects of two alleles are apparent in heterozygous individuals An inheritance pattern in which a single gene affects multiple traits A pattern of inheritance in which multiple genes affect one trait
Hypophosphatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of phosphates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters, but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children. Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Draw Punnett squares to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios.
In 1-3 sentences define the following heredity types: Autosomal dominant and recessive, X-linked dominant and recessive, epistasis, polygenic, codominant

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that causes red blood cells to form incorrectly, slowing the movement of blood and causing tissue damage. A person can be homozvgous dominant for normal blood cell shape, heterozygous or homozygous for sickle cells. Using this information and the figure below, determine the type of inheritance pattern that the sickle cell disorder follows.
In 1-3 sentences each define the follwing terms: genotype, phenotype, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, epigenetics

Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child? Show ALL work using punnett squares.
