- 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.One form of the bleeding disorder known as von Willebrand disease is an autosomal recessive disease. A man who is a carrier marries a woman who is also a carrier of the disease. (a) What percentage of their children are likely to have a disease phenotype? (b) What percentage of their children are likely to have a normal phenotype? (c) What percentage of their children are likely to be carriers of the disease?Duchenne muscular dystrophy is sex linked and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life.a. What is the probability that a woman whose brother has Duchenne’s disease will have an affected child?b. If your mother’s brother (your uncle) had Duchenne’s disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele?c. If your father’s brother had the disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele?
- Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S. How many offspring will be affected by the disorder if the mother is a carrier, and the father appears to be normal? (Include the gender) a. b. How many will become carriers? (include the gender) A- 三三三 四 四 II !!Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked trait in humans. Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive trait on an autosome. A couple are both carriers of the sickle-cell trait. The man and woman are normal, but the woman is a carrier for hemophilia. How many of their male children would you expect to have both sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia? How many of their female children would have both conditions?For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?
- A WOMAN IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TWO HARMFUL RECESSIVE ALLELES IN DIFFERENT CHROMOSOMES, ONE FOR PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU) AND THE OTHER FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF).

BOTH?Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a disorder that affects the normal function of red blood cells and can eventually lead to anemia. The trait is controlled by a recessive allele found on the X chromosome. An affected son was born to a man and woman who were unaffected. The woman's mother was affected while the father was normal. Indicate the gene notation. Give the genotypes of the affected boy's parents. Derive the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring. Show and label your solutions properly. What is the probability that they will have a phenotypically normal daughter as their first child? a. b.

- Thalassemia is an inherited anemic disorder in humans. Affected individuals exhibit either a minor anemia or a major anemia. Assuming that only a single gene pair and two alleles are involved in the inheritance of these conditions, is thalassemia a dominant or recessive disorder?Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that is expressed with incomplete dominance. The homozygous recessive phenotype has sickle shaped red blood cells that cause anemia and often death if untreated. If an unaffected father and mother move to the United States from Sub-Saharan Africa and several of their offspring have sickle cell anemia, what do we know about both parents' genotypes? One is homozygous recessive, the other is heterozygous They are both heterozygous They are both homozygous recessive One is homozygous dominant, the other is heterozygousSickle cell anemia is a human genetic disorder caused by an autosomal recessive allele. A couple plan to marry and want to know the probability that they will have an affected child. With your knowledge of Mendelian inheritance, what can you tell them if (1) each has one affected parent and a parent with no family history of SCA or (2) the man is affected by the disorder but the woman has no family history of SCA?
