O O c. A person who has a gene allele for a disorder with reduced penetrance (60%) that is transmittedin an autosomal dominant pattern and is usually expressed after age 30 has reached the age of 50 without any manifestations of the disorder. He now states that he wishes that he had decided to have children now that he knows he cannot pass the disorder on to any children he fathered. Is this man's thinking correct? Explain This person is not right because he can still pass the disorder to his offspring. Penetrance is the proportion of individuals carrying a particular variant (or allele) of a gene (the genotype) that also express an associated trait (the phenotype). The individual exhibits signs and symtoms of genetic disorder. He did not develop features of the disorder, the condition is said to have reduced (or incomplete) penetrance. He is a carrier of the allele for this disorder. As carrier he can give the genetic information to his child who could have a complete penetrance and…
EE³ E²E4 Clear my choice Which of the following statements best describes the inheritance pattern of an X-linked dominant disorder? a. Two unaffected parents can produce an affected child. b. Only daughters of an affected man are affected. c. Only sons of an affected female are affected. O d. Only individuals who are homozygous for the mutated gene are affected. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a rare inherited disorder that causes su Which of the following pedigrees shows the inheritance pattern of ARVC/D? O a. OTO
E. D. A. B. 11. C. Huntington's disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that strikes in middle age. The allele that causes the disease (H) is dominant to the allele that results in the normal condition (h). Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. What is the genotype of a man who is normal but whose father had Huntington's disease? What is the genotype of a woman who has Huntington's disease if both of her parents had Huntington's disease? If a man who is heterozygous for Huntington's disease marries a woman who is normal, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If a normal man marries a woman who is homozygous for Huntington's disease, what do you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? Since Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele, does this mean it's also the most common allele in the population? F. Since Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele, does this mean…
Sickle cell disease— what is the background of this disorder: include the name of the disorder, any alternate names used, provide a description of the disorder, and the typical age of onset. What is the Type of genetic disorder: explain if and how this disorder is inherited. Explain the genetic causes of the disorder. Is it inherited? Is the disorder a dominant or recessive trait? Which chromosome is affected in this disorder? Is a gene mutated? If so, name the gene that is affected? How is gene expression impacted (is it a particular type of mutation, a case of a misshapen protein, etc.?)
b. The following diagram shows a family tree of individuals with haemophilia. B i. Based on an X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance, work out the likely genotypes of the individuals indicated by the letters. Individual A Individual B Individual C GENOTYPE ii. If individual C has children with a normal male, what are the chances that they will have haemophilia? Explain your answer fully. iii. If individual C has children with a normal male, what are the chances that their daughters will be carriers of the condition? Explain your answer fully.

SUBJECT-GENETICS TOPIC: Inheritance Related to Sex Identify some form of abnormalities wherein it could be due to the presence of gene in: X chromosome only b) Y chromosome only ? Give example/s. Some traits are expressed by both in the male and female humans,but kindly elaborate such traits which are only present in male or in female, give example/s which could be explain under sex-limited and sex-influenced genes.

A. In man, hemophilia, the "bleeder's disease" in which the time required for blood to clot is greatly prolonged, requires the presence of the recessive allele of a sex-linked (found on the X chromosome). Remember to list the genotypes and phenotypes of the sons and daughters separately. gene
