Question
The next four questions are all related to this problem: Polydactyly (PD) is an autosomal dominant
trait (polydactyly - P; wildtype - p). Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (cystic fibrosis
- f; wildtype - F). A PD woman, otherwise normal in phenotype, marries a healthy normal man. Their
4 children are: 1) normal, 2) PD, 3) CF, 4) CF + PD.
You will walk through a series of steps to answer this question: What is the probability that their 5th
child will have at least one of these conditions? Here is the first step:
1. What is the cross? (Hint: You can use the 4 existing children to determine the genotypes of the
parents.)
O PpFF (female) x ppFF (male)
O PoFf (female) x ppft (male)
O pof female) x PPFI (male)
O PPFF Ifemale) x ppFf (male)
2. What is/are the target genotypes?
O pof
OP.F.
O pott
O P.M
3. What is the probability the child will have PD AND cystic fibrosis? Answer to two decimal places
(eg. 0.88).
4. What is the probability that their 5th child will have at least one of these conditions? Answer to
two decimal places (eg. 0.88).

Expert Solution
Step 1

The alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous chromosome. 

In case of diploid organism a particular gene has two alleles, one is dominant and another is recessive in nature. According to the Mendelian law of dominance, the heterozygous individual will express only the dominant trait.
