Congenital hypertrichosis (CH) is a very rare X-linked dominant inherited condition. CH is characterized by the growth of dark hair over the body. CH is so rare, only 50 cases have been identified since the Middle Ages. The incidence of this condition is considerably higher in a small Mexican village (from which the partial pedigree below is derived) than the rest of the human population.

Using appropriate nomenclature, identify the genotypes for the following 2 individuals: 12 13 your response must include an appropriate legend/key to identify allele symbols. 2. Show how a Punnett square (using the allele symbols from the previous question) is used to determine the probability in percent of individuals III-11 and III-12 next offspring has CH?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disorder caused by a rare,loss-of-function allele that is located on the X chromosome in humans. Anunaffected woman (i.e., without disease symptoms) who is heterozygousfor the X-linked allele causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy has childrenwith a man with a functional (non-disease-causing) allele. What is theprobability that this couple will have an unaffected son?
Hemophilia is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation in humans. If a man whose paternal uncle (father's brother) was a hemophiliac marries a woman whose brother is also a hemophiliac, what is the probability that their first child will have hemophilia? (Assume that no other cases of hemophilia exist in the pedigree.) 1/3 0 1/8 0 1/4 1/2
What is the approximate percentage chance that individual V.2, shown in the pedigree diagrams above will have inherited the X-linked recessive allele shown to be carried by his great great grandmother?
A tomato geneticist attempts to assign five recessivemutations to specific chromosomes by using trisomics.She crosses each homozygous mutant (2n) with each ofthree trisomics, in which chromosomes 1, 7, and 10 takepart. From these crosses, the geneticist selects trisomicprogeny (which are less vigorous) and backcrosses themto the appropriate homozygous recessive. The diploidprogeny from these crosses are examined. Her results, inwhich the ratios are wild type:mutant, are as follows:Which of the mutations can the geneticist assign towhich chromosomes? (Explain your answer fully.)
The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a human disorder. Affected individuals are shown with filled symbols. II III 2 3 5 Based on the pedigree, propose the least likely inheritance pattern of the disease among autosomal dominance, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominance and X-linked recessive. Your choice of answer can be impossible and possible. Explain your answer by giving the evidence that supports or opposes each mode of inheritance. You can reconstruct the table shown below and draw the pedigree in your answer script. Write the possible genotype of each individual in the pedigree for each inheritance pattern proposed. Mode of Possibility Explanations Pedigree inheritance Autosomal dominance Autosomal recessive X-linked dominance X-linked recessive
The following pedigree describes the inheritance of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, an x-linked recessive disease. Affected individuals are shaded. what is the probability, that the indicated child (IV.1) will be affected by Lesch-Nyhan syndrome? show solution
Cystic fibrosis in humans is caused by mutations in a single gene and is inherited as an autosomal (non-sex chromosome) recessive trait. An unaffected couple has two children. The first child has cystic fibrosis, and the second child is unaffected. What is the probability that the second child is a carrier (heterozygous) for the mutation that causes the disease? 2/3 1 1/2 3/4
A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) This woman is phenotypically normal. Does thissurprise you? Why or why not? Under what circumstancesmight you expect a phenotypic effect of such arearrangement?

X‑linked, recessive diseases, such as hemophilia, are extremely rare in the population. However, many women are carriers and show no sign of the disease. The pedigree illustrates the inheritance of an X‑linked, recessive disease. Determine whether the unknown individuals are affected by the disease, unaffected by the disease, or carriers of the X‑linked recessive allele. Unaffected individuals are not carriers of the X‑linked recessive allele.
