what are the possible genotypes for susan and her husband in the following pedigree **Pedigree of Sickle Cell Anemia in the Miller Family**The image above represents a pedigree chart detailing the inheritance of sickle cell anemia within the Miller family. Pedigree charts are a visual tool used in genetics to illustrate the occurrence and appearance of phenotypes of a particular gene or organism and its ancestors from one generation to the next.### Symbols Key:- **Squares (□)** represent male family members.- **Circles (○)** represent female family members.- **Filled symbols (■ or ●)** indicate individuals affected by sickle cell anemia.- **Empty symbols (□ or ○)** indicate individuals not affected by sickle cell anemia.### Generations:The pedigree chart is divided into three generations:**First Generation:**- This generation includes one male who is affected (black square) and his female partner who is unaffected (white circle).**Second Generation:**- The second generation consists of four children: - Two affected males (black squares). - One affected female (black circle). - One unaffected male (white square).**Third Generation:**- The third generation includes six children from two pairs: - The first pair comprises one unaffected male married to an unaffected female (labeled as Susan). - Their children consist of one healthy (unaffected) boy (white square), one affected girl (black circle), one unaffected girl (white circle), and one affected boy (black square), totaling four children. - The second pair has one affected male (black square) married to an unaffected female (white circle).The pedigree chart clearly demonstrates an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance for sickle cell anemia. This means that both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations for an individual to be affected. Individuals with just one copy of the mutated gene (carriers) are typically not affected but can pass the mutation to their offspring.

Which of the Pedigree diagrams below is most likely to show a family with Sickle Cell Anaemia?
The mother of a family with 10 children has blood typeRh+. She also has a very rare condition (elliptocytosis,phenotype E) that causes red blood cells to be oval rather than round in shape but that produces no adverseclinical effects. The father is Rh− (lacks the Rh+ antigen)and has normal red blood cells (phenotype e). The children are 1 Rh+ e, 4 Rh+ E, and 5 Rh− e. Information isavailable on the mother’s parents, who are Rh+ E andRh− e. One of the 10 children (who is Rh+ E) marriessomeone who is Rh+ e, and they have an Rh+ E child.a. Draw the pedigree of this whole family.b. Is the pedigree in agreement with the hypothesisthat the Rh+ allele is dominant and Rh− is recessive?c. What is the mechanism of transmission ofelliptocytosis?d. Could the genes governing the E and Rh phenotypesbe on the same chromosome? If so, estimate the mapdistance between them, and comment on your result
Construct pedigree charts using the inheritance of hemophilia in figure 92 (page 113). This is X-linked inheritance so you are required to label XX for females and XY for males. The gene responsible for the trait is represented by the superscript which should be specified in the legend.
Hemophilia is an X-linked disease associated with the inability to produce specific proteins in the blood-clotting pathway. Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflicted with the disease are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passing on the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbol above) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family 4.Assuming that the woman in the couple is a carrier, what is the probability that the couple’s first son will have hemophilia?
The pedigree below shows the phenotypes of the ABO blood groups and Rhesus factors [positive (+) and negative (-)] for several members of a family. I (B+ AB- 1 2 3 4 II O- A+ В- B- AB+ A+ 1 2 4 5 6 a. What are the ABO blood group genotypes of individuals I-1 and I-2? b. Which child/ren of individual I-4 can donate blood to him? c. Which individual in the pedigree can donate blood to all the other individuals in the pedigree?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait. A three-generation pedigree is shown below for a family that carries the mutant allele for cystic fibrosis. Note that carriers are not colored in to allow you to figure out their genotypes. Normal allele = F CF mutant allele = f What is the genotype of individual #13? A) ff B) FF C) Ff D) it is impossible to tell
Refer to the pedigree below which shows inheritance for achondroplasia (dwarfism), a dominantly inherited trait (denoted as D), which are the darkened circles and squares. Dwarfism (darkened shapes) are dominantly inherited, while normal height is recessively inherited (hh). Based on the pedigree, what is the correct genotype for individual #II-6? Dominant Autosomal Pedigree 2 II 2 3 II 1 2 3 6 9 10 Dd DD DD or Dd dd

Please find an Image/Graphic to represent sickle cell disease: Use at least two different images to help the audience understand the cause and/or inheritance pattern of the disorder you chose. Include a brief 1-2 sentence caption below each image that gives a description of the image and explains its relevance to your chosen disorder. The two images should NOT convey the same exact information. Ideas of images to use include: karyotypes, pedigrees, DNA sequences, etc. Please note: the images should be specific to your chosen disorder. The 2 required images must be related to cause and/or inheritance pattern. Images of an individual with the disorder will not count toward your 2 required images as they do not contribute to the audience's understanding of cause and/or inheritance pattern.
