John and Sue are expecting a child, but are concerned about a rare autosomal recessive disease that is present in both of their families. In the pedigree, John is represented as individual III-11 and Sue is represented as individual III-12; both are unaffected. John's sister, III-10, and Sue's brother, III-13, both do not show evidence of the disease, but John's paternal grandmother and Sue's maternal grandfather both had the disease. Assign the appropriate symbol to each individual in the pedigree. I 3 4. Answer Bank II III 11 12 13 10 2.

Muffy, a color blind female with blood type A (heterozygous to type O) is married to Biff, who is also color blind and is homozygous for type B blood. Muffy has been having an affair with their gardener, Raoul, who is heterozygous for type B blood and has normal vision. Recall that color blindness is a sex linked recessive condition.

Given the pedigree below, answer the following questions. Note that filled symbols represent affected individuals. You assume that the allele carrying the disease is rare and therefore individuals marrying into the family are unlikely to have defective alleles. Also, assume complete penetrance. Q2) What are the genotypes of the following individuals listed in the table below? Use the uppercase “A” to represent the dominant allele and lowercase “a” for the recessive allele. Individual Genotype II-7 III-5 IV-1 IV-3 I-2 III-7
The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a rare genetic disorder. Determine the most likely mode of inheritance, and for exam practice (unmarked on the assignment) write a clear justification for your conclusion. Remember that some pedigrees don't provide sufficient data/information to discriminate between possibilities. If that is the case, select all the possible answers.

The second pedigree involves albinism, an autosomal recessive trait. A couple has a son with normal pigmentation, a daughter with normal pigmentation, and an albino son. Another couple has three children, a son with normal pigmentation and two daughters with normal pigmentation. The daughter from the first couple marries the man from the second couple and they have three children together: an albino son, an albino daughter, and a daughter with normal pigmentation.Draw the pedigree on the next page
The following pedigree shows the inheritance of Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic disorder that causes neurodegeneration. Since signs and symptoms usually do not appear until adulthood, many who are carriers may not realize their risk of passing on the disease-causing allele. The following pedigree represents a family in which some people are affected by Huntington’s disease. Using just the information on this pedigree, is Huntington’s disease caused by a dominant allele or recessive alleles? What are the genotypes of the grandparents (I-1 and I-2)? What are the genotypes of the parents (II-6 and II-7)? If the parents above have another child, what is the chance that they will be affected by the Hungtington’s disease allele? What are the genotypes of the unaffected children (III-8, 9, 10)? What is the chance that the unaffected children above will pass on a Huntington’s disease allele to their children? What is the genotype of the affected child (III-11)? What is the chance…
Below is a pedigree chart for a family that has a history of Alkaptonuria. Individuals infected with this condition can have darkened skin, brown urine, and can suffer from joint damage and other complications. Given this pedigree answer the following questions. Given the data in the pedigree chart is this genetic condition autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive? What are the genotypes for #1, #2, and #3? If either of the 4th generation "aa" females were to mate with a homozygous dominant male would any of their offspring illustrate the phenotype? Why or why not?
