Question 1
In the following human pedigrees, the filled symbols represent the affected individuals. You may assume that the
disease allele is rare and therefore individuals marrying into the family are unlikely to have defective allele.
a)
i) What is the most likely mode of inheritance for this pedigree?
Autosomal dominant
ii) State the genotypes of individuals # 1-5 in the following table using the letter "A". Use the uppercase
letter to represent the dominant allele and lowercase letter to represent the recessive allele.
Individual
Genotype
#1
#3
#4
#5
iii) If individuals # 2 and 3 have another son what are the chances that this son will be affected?
50% (Aa x aa)
b)
6.
7
8
i) What is the most likely mode of inheritance for this pedigree?
ii) State the genotypes of individuals # 6-8 in the following table using the letter "B". Use the uppercase
letter to represent the dominant allele and lowercase letter to represent the recessive allele.
Individual
Genotype
#6
#7
#8
iii) If Individuals #6 and #7 have another daughter what are the chances that she will be affected.
Question 2
You are analyzing the following human pedigree.
Assume that the individual marked with an asterisk (*) does not carry any allele associated with the affected
phenotype and that no other mutation spontaneously occurs. Also assume complete penetrance. Use "R or XR"
for the allele associated with the dominant phenotype, "r or X" for the allele associated with the recessive
phenotype.
2
affected female
Unaffected female
affected male
Unaffected male
B
a) What is the most likely mode of inheritance of this disease? Choose from: autosomal dominant, autosomal
recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive.
b) List all possible genotypes of the following individuals in the pedigree.
Individuals
Genotypes
#1
#3
c) What is the probability of Individual A being affected?
