The most common CF mutation is AF508; it accounts for approximate 70% of all mutant CFTR alleles worldwide. For a couple of northern European origin, what is their risk for having an affected child if each tests negative for AF508? If one tests positive and the other tests negative for AF508?

Tony has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF). Neither of his parents have CF, nor does Tony. Tony is expecting a child with Tina. Tina does not have CF, but otherwise her family history is unknown. A) What is the probability that Tony is heterozygous for the CF gene? B) If the frequency of heterozygotes in the general population is 1/50, what is the probability that Tony and Tina's child will have CF?

Mr and Mrs Connelly are planning to start a family. However, Mr Connelly is concerned that, as his brother was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), he may be a CF carrier. Their GP explains how Mr Connelly may carry the faulty CFTR gene using a Punnett square. create two separate Punnett squares and explain in detail the possible outcomes for the children of two different sets of parents as follows: Set A parents are both carriers of Huntingdon’s Disease, and in Set B only one parent is a carrier of Huntingdon’s Disease. Explain the results in detail of each Punnett Square
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition. Therefore, heterozygous (Cc) carriers do not display symptoms. Two parents who are carriers plan to start a family and you are a genetic counselor helping to advise them about their chances of having children affected by CF. a) Suppose the couple has 4 children, each one year apart. What is the probability that all 4 children will inherit CF? b) What is the probability that any 3 of their 4 children will not inherit CF, but 1 will be affected? c) What is the probability that their first child will not inherit CF, but the younger 3 children will inherit CF?
A woman who has blood type 0 and blood type MN marries a man who has blood type AB and blood type MN. Assuming the genes for A-B-O and M-N blood typing system assort independently, what is the possibility that the child will have a blood type B and type N? 4- a) 1/16 b) 1/32 20408 C) 1/8 1/2 e) 1/4 Boş bırak
In Huntington’s disease, the wild-type allele, h, is recessive to the disease allele, H. The persistence of an autosomal dominant allele that is fatal in 100% of cases is best explained by which of the following? A) The dominant allele only has moderate negative effects during adolescence and young adulthood. B) The wild-type h allele continues to spontaneously mutate into the dominant H allele. C) The persistence of any given allele in nature is determined almost wholly by chance. D) The disease has no effects until the individual has reached an age far past the normal age for reproduction.
Several genes in humans in addition to the ABO gene(I) give rise to recognizable antigens on the surface ofred blood cells. The MN and Rh genes are two examples. The Rh locus can contain either a positive or anegative allele, with positive being dominant to negative. M and N are codominant alleles of the MN gene.The following chart shows several mothers and theirchildren. For each mother-child pair, choose the fatherof the child from among the males in the right column, assuming one child per male.Mother Child Malesa. O M Rh(pos) B MN Rh(neg) O M Rh(neg)b.
