Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a). Assume that Emily (who has CF) decides to have children with a man who does not have CF and who is not a carrier of CF. What are their genotypes, and what is the probability that they will have a child who is a carrier for CF?
If the mutation occurred in Jonathan's somatic cells when he was in his 30's, what type of alleles will be found in his sperm? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. b [+ 50% will contain the mutant Huntington allele, 50% will contain the wildtype allele. 25% will contain the mutant Huntington allele, 75% will contain the wildtype allele. Since Huntington's Disease is a dominant disorder, all of his sperm will contain mutant Huntingtin alleles. The condition will not appear in his gametes since he did not inherit it, but it arose as a new mutation in his body cells.

Huntington's disease is characterized by late onset mental deterioration and is invariably fatal. It appears to be caused by an autosomal dominant gene. A man with Huntington's disease (heterozygous) marries a normal woman and they have 5 children. What risk does each child have of contracting the disease? Write the full punnett sqaure equation showing ALL steps used to achieve your answer.
Earlobes can be attached to the face or non-attached. An attached earlobe is a recessive trait. A female with attached earlobes (Il) has a child with a man with non-attached earlobes. He is heterozygous for this trait. Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring? e. What is the couple's chance of having a child with attached earlobes?
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. There is a 0% percent chance of having another child with the disorderMark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with…
