Question

Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition where little or no melanin pigment is produced. A
woman (call her W) had an affected brother (B). This woman's daughter (M) is planning to have a
child. The intended father (F) in this mating had a sister (S) who has albinism.

W's father is red-green color blind (an X-linked recessive disorder). F's father is also red-
green color blind. All other family members have normal vision. Re-draw the pedigree of this
family to include this extra information. Use defined symbols to indicate genotypes. 
g. Determine the probability that F will pass on red-green color blindness to his future children.
h. Determine the probability that M is a carrier for red-green color blindness or for albinism 
i.Determine the probability that M is a carrier for red-green color blindness and for albinism 
i.Determine the overall probability that this couple's first child will be affected by both
conditions. 
k. Using the same genotypes as in part j for the couple, determine the overall probability that
their first child will have normal pigmentation and normal color vision.
