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.

Question

If they have one child, what is the probability of it having cystic fibrosis (cc)?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. A couple are both carriers of the recessive allele (both heterozygous (Cc)) and have the normal wild-type phenotype.

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
The autosomal (not X-linked) gene for brachydactyly, short fingers, is dominant to normal finger length. Assume that a female with brachydactyly in the heterozygous condition is married to a man with normal fingers. What is the probability that their first child will be a brachydactylous girl? ¼ 1/2 1/8 3/4 2/3

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.

Mark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with painful complications. His spouse has not experienced symptoms of sickle cell anemia but their first child developed the disease. What conclusions can be drawn about the mother's genotype and the probability of having a second child with the condition? Answer Choices: A: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 25% percent chance of having another child with the disorder B: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 50% percent chance of having another child with the disorder C: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 75% percent chance of having another child with the disorder D: she lacks the allele for sickle cell anemia in that she lacks symptoms of the disease.

Bryan has albinism, an autosomal recessive trait, which means he is homozygous recessive for albinism and his genotype is aa. Bryan's parents, Frank and Amy, do not have albinism however they must both be heterozygous. Bryan's sister, Allice, is a carrier for albinism. If Allice has offspring with Jim, who has no family history of albinism, what are the chances that their offspring are carriers for albinism? What are the chances that they children will get albinism? Use Punnett squares.
Along with the trait in the pedigree, individual IV-6 and the woman are also both heterozygous for the autosomal dominant allele causing Huntington's disease. If they have a child, what is the probability that it will be affected by at least one of these traits? Remember to include both the trait in the pedigree and Huntington's disease in your calculations. Enter your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.55).
