Mary and Ron don't have albinism. However, is it possible for them to have a child with albinism? Explain. Stephanie has normal color vision. Her husband Chris also has normal color vision. They have a son that is color blind and a daughter that has normal color vision. What is the genotype of the mother, father, son and the daughter? Andy and Anne do not have polydactyl. Is it possible for them to have a child with polydactyl? Explain. When examining a pedigree chart, I notice that only males are affected. What does this tell me about the inheritance pattern? A man with blood type A marries a woman with blood type B. Their child has blood type O. What are the genotypes of the parents?

what is the probability that a couple (both heterozygous for the same recessive mutation) will have two children with the disease if the couple plans to have four children in total?
A colorblind man marries a female who is a carrier for colorblindness. What is the probability that they will have a child who is colorblind?
The pedigree chart provided below traces the occurrence of a disease through the generations of a family. Determine what type of inheritance pattern this disease has.
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes an abnormal production of mucus which in turn can cause damage and infection to the lungs and other organs. In the following pedigree, black indicates all those persons afflicted with cystic fibrosis (square symbols are males, circles are females). There's a healthy couple and they have two children. One is a 23-year-old daughter with cystic fibrosis who is married to a 24-year-old male who is healthy. The other child is a 15-year-old son who is healthy After studying the pedigree, write a logical hypothesis suggesting the cause of cystic fibrosis in terms of dominant or recessive alleles. On the basis of your hypothesis, write an appropriate genotype for both of the parents. Using a Punnett square, what is the probability of the parents having a child with cystic fibrosis? If the daughter's husband is a carrier of cystic fibrosis, what is the probability that they have a child with cystic fibrosis? Show your Punnett square.
Colorblindness is an X linked gene. Normal vision (XN ) is dominant over colorblind (Xn). Cross a carrier female to a normal male. How many of their children will be colorblind? How many of their sons will be colorblind? How many of their daughters will be colorblind?
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in an individual not having a functional gene for a clotting factor and therefore unable to clot blood. A couple has 4 boys. One of the boys has just been diagnosed with hemophilia. What is the probability that all of the other 3 boys will also have hemophilia?
A woman with type A blood marries a man with type O blood. They have six children, all of whom have type A blood. What are the probable genotypes of the parents? Could they ever have a child with type O blood?
Frank and Susan both have freckles but they're firstborn son Lawrence does not demonstrate the characteristics. What are the most likely genotype of Frank Susan and Lawrence?
Amanda Sefton (Daytripper) has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind (X- linked recessive) and syndactylous (autosomal dominant). Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) is color blind and syndictylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes, but he didn't know his father. As their genetic counselor, answer the following questions based on Kurt and Amanda marrying and starting a family. What is the probability of having a child that has syndactyly?
