Figure V - Pedigree 2Q10 - Is the gene for the condition autosomal dominant or recessive?Q11 - Identify the genotype for each individual using the above table. Use A_ if undetermined.Part IV - The Blue People Of Troublesome CreekSix generations after a French orphan named Martin Fugate settled on the banks of easternKentucky's Troublesome Creek with his redheaded American bride, his great-great-great-greatgrandson was born in a modern hospital not far from where the creek still runs. The boy inheritedhis father's lankiness and his mother's slightly nasal way of speaking. What he got from MartinFugate was dark blue skin. "It was almost purple," his father recalls.Doctors were so astonished by the colour of Benjy Stacy's skin that they raced him by ambulancefrom the maternity ward in the hospital near Hazard to a medical clinic in Lexington. Two days oftests produced no explanation for skin the colour of a bruised plum. A transfusion was beingprepared when Benjy's grandmother spoke up. "Have you ever heard of the blue Fugates ofTroublesome Creek?" she asked the doctors. "My grandmother Luna on my dad's side was a blueFugate. It was real bad in her," Alva Stacy, the boy's father, explained. The doctors finally came tothe conclusion that Benjy's colour was due to blood inherited from generations back.Benjy lost his blue tint within a few weeks, and now he is about as normal looking a seven-year-oldboy as you could hope to find. His lips and fingernails still turn a shade of purple-blue when he getscold or angry, a quirk that so intrigued medical students after Benjy's birth that they would crowdaround the baby and try to make him cry. "Benjy was a pretty big item in the hospital," his mothersays with a grin. Dark blue lips and fingernails are the only traces of Martin Fugate's legacy left in theboy; that, and the recessive gene that has shaded many of the Fugates and their kin blue for the past162 years.Given below is a pedigree of some of the blue people of Troublesome Creek Part III - Trait Analysis1. The following pedigrees will be used to determine whether the trait is autosomal dominant orautosomal recessive. In tracing autosomal alleles, if both parents have the disorder and the offspringdo not, the condition is autosomal dominant. If neither parent shows the disorder but some of theirchildren do, the condition is autosomal recessive. A carrier is an individual who appears to benormal, but who is capable of passing on a gene for the disorder. If the characteristic is dominant,there can be no carriers because only a single gene is needed to show the disorder.
