Construct a pedigree chart that displays the following information: - Grandparents that do not have colour blindness A second generation consisting of 2 daughters (Ada and Brie) and son (Charles). - Charles has 2 daughters, his eldest daughter has colour blindness. - Colour blindness is an X-linked condition. Using the information above, state the probability that Ada and Brie have colour blindness. Using a diagram, calculate the probability that the Charles' youngest daughter has colour blindness.

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 the letter “H”)
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
The Delacour family is descended from the Veela race, a semi-human, semi-magical humanoid people reminiscent of the Sirens in Greek mythology with special powers. Imagine that being a Veela and having these powers is a X-Linked Dominant trait that is passed on genetically. (Hint: Use the Punnett Square.) What are the possible genotypes for Fleur and Bill’s daughter, Victoire? What are the genotypic frequencies related to the female children (in percentage format)? What is the likelihood (in percentage format) that Victoire would express Veela powers?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes an abnormal production of mucus which in turn can cause damage and infection to the lungs and other organs. In the following pedigree, black indicates all those persons afflicted with cystic fibrosis (square symbols are males, circles are females). There's a healthy couple and they have two children. One is a 23-year-old daughter with cystic fibrosis who is married to a 24-year-old male who is healthy. The other child is a 15-year-old son who is healthy After studying the pedigree, write a logical hypothesis suggesting the cause of cystic fibrosis in terms of dominant or recessive alleles. On the basis of your hypothesis, write an appropriate genotype for both of the parents. Using a Punnett square, what is the probability of the parents having a child with cystic fibrosis? If the daughter's husband is a carrier of cystic fibrosis, what is the probability that they have a child with cystic fibrosis? Show your Punnett square.
Propose the most likely mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive) for the following pedigrees. Affected individuals are shown with filled (black)symbols.
An individual with 46, XX genotype is diagnosed with Duchenne-type Muscular Dystrophy, a recessive X-linked disorder. Genetic tests confirm that this individual is a heterozygote for this disorder. Briefly, but specifically, explain how it’s possible that they are showing symptoms of this disorder.
Label all individuals with the correct genotype. If you are not certain of the gentotype, list all possible geneotypes with their associated probabilities (based on the genotypes of their parents)

If individuals II-5 and II-4 have another child, the probability of this child having the polydactyly trait is ___%.
Identify the pattern of inheritance shown in each of the following pedigrees. If the pedigree illustrates more than one (1) mode of inheritance, just choose one. Afterwards, determine the genotype and phenotype of the first 5 individuals in each pedigree
Frank and Susan both have freckles but they're firstborn son Lawrence does not demonstrate the characteristics. What are the most likely genotype of Frank Susan and Lawrence?
A mother is heterozygous for the X-linked gene for colorblindness and also heterozygous for the autosomal inherited sickle cell anemia. She is married to a man who can see color normally and who is heterozygous for sickle cell trait. Using b (colorblind), B (normal color), S (normal hemoglobin), s (sickle cell), answer the following: a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b: What is the probability of having a child who is both color blind and has sickle cell anemia?
