- Sickle cell anemia is a genetically inherited autosomal recessive trait in which results in a condition that there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body due to the production of red blood cells that are sickle shaped. The frequency of the sickle cell condition is as high as 10% in Central Africa compared to 0.5% in the United States. Calculate the frequency of the normal and carries of the sickle cell condition.The father of five children begins to show symptoms of huntington disease. what is the probability that same, the man's second oldest son (11-2),, will suffer from the disease if he lives a normal life span? Sam's mother and her ancestors do not have the diseas. Sam's father was adopted, so we do not know his biological family history for hunutington disease. Explore all possible outcome for sam and explain your reasoningA prospective groom, who is unaffected, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are normal. The brother plans to marry a woman who has no history of CF in her family. What is the probability that they will produce a CF child? They are both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF in the Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affected child per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy– Weinberg assumptions.)
- Cystic fibrosis in humans is caused by a recessive allele. A man is known to be a carrier of the cystic fibrosis allele. He marries a phenotypically normal woman. In the general population, the incidence of cystic fibrosis at birth is approximately 1 in 1,700. Assume Hardy-Weinberg proportions. What is the probability that the wife is also a carrier? Answer in decimal number only (three decimal places; example: 0.123). What is the probability that their first child will be affected? Answer in decimal number only (three decimal places; example: 0.123).A prospective groom, who is normal, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are normal. The brother plans to marry a woman who has no history of CF in her family. What is the probability that they will produce a CF child? They are both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF in the Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affected child per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy–Weinberg assumptions.)Below in Figure 1 is a pedigree for a family afflicted by a genetic disorder. In some populations, Cystic fibrosis has an incidence of 1 in 2500 newborns. The carrier frequency calculated from this is 1/25. Analyze the pedigree below assuming the disease is similar to cystic fibrosis in incidence and carrier frequency. However this disease may not have the same type of genetic transmission as cystic fibrosis. Assuming her father is known to NOT be a carrier, calculate the probability that IV1 is a carrier for disease. Use the Χ2 test to determine whether your proposed transmission fits this data.
- A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?Classical hemophilia is a sex-linked disease caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. (Hemophilia refers to diseases that cause delays in blood clotting.) If a woman who is acarrierof classical hemophilia has children with a normal male, give the ratios of the possible offspring with respect to classical hemophilia. Be sure to state both the genotypes and the phenotypes of each offspring. For genotypes, use X for a normal X chromosome, Xh for an X chromosome with the hemophilia gene, and Y for a normal Y chromosome. For phenotypes, if the offspring is female, be sure to state if homozygous normal, a carrier, or has the disease. If the offspring is a male, be sure to state if normal or has the disease.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.
- If the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is 0.49, what is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype?Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by two copies of a mutated CFTR gene. If one in 100 (hypothetical scenario, not reality) people in the United States have cystic fibrosis, calculate the p and q frequency for the normal allele (p) and the mutated allele (q). Based on those calculations, what percentage of individuals would be expected to be homozygous dominant?Niemann Pick Type C disease is a recessive disorder that causes the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomes, ultimately affecting both the liver and the nervous system. Below are the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring of a family with a history of Niemann Pick. 7 NN ( all normal phenotype) 3 Nn (all normal phenotype) 4 nn (1 early onset dementia, 1 mid-life onset dementia, 2 late-onset dementia). From this information, Niemann-Pick disease is an example of: A) variable expressivity B) incomplete dominance C) incomplete penetrance D) variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance E) multiple alleles
