The next three questions go together. Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disease caused by a recessive allele at a gene on the X chromosome. Polydactyly is caused by a dominant allele at an autosomal gene. If a phenotypically normal woman who's father had DMD has a child with man who is heterozygous for the allele causing polydactyly but is otherwise normal, what is the probability that the child will have elther DMD or polydactyly, but not both? Part I: What is the cross? A ppxx x PpxDxD B- PPXPXX Ppx©y C- ppx"x x PpXdy D- ppxPx* x PpxDY Question 11 Part II: What is the probability the child will have polydactyly but not DMD?

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an X-linked recessive disease. A couple is wanting to have a child. The to-be-mother knows that her mother was a carrier. The to-be-father doesn't have DMD. What is the probability that the couple has a son with DMD? And what is the probability that the couple has a daughter with DMD? O ½ and 4 O 4 and 4 O ½ and 0 O 4 and 0 O 4 and 1/2
Achondroplasia, is characterized by difficulty converting cartilage to bone and thus results in shortened limbs. This trait is autosomal dominant. (A = achondroplasia allele; a = average height allele.) A husband and wife both have achondroplasia. The couple have a total 12 living children: 6 boys and 6 girls. The husband is colorblind, which is an X-linked recessive trait, and the wife believes there is a chance she is a carrier of colorblindness, since that trait runs in her family. One of the couple’s daughters and three of their sons are colorblind. (Xc = colorblindness allele; XC = normal color vision allele.) A. Is the mother a carrier of the colorblindness allele? Please explain the meaning of the term "carrier", and answer this question, based upon all of the information provided.
Kelly and Sam are both unaffected carriers for two autosomal recessive disorders, PKU (chromosome 12) and cystic fibrosis (chromosome 7). They are expecting a daughter. What is the probability that she will be unaffected by PKU, but effected by cystic fibrosis? O 1/16 O 3/16 O 1/2 О 3/4 O 9/16
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a disorder of faulty tooth enamel formation. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant and X-linked dominant pattern. The expression of AI disorder is determined by mutations in the autosomal alleles. One copy of the mutated allele (A) will cause the disorder. The severity of the disorder is determined by mutations in a gene carried on the X chromosome. Normal (or non-severe) abnormality (XN) is dominant over the abnormality (or severe) (Xn) allele. In the absence of the autosomal dominant allele, the abnormality gene on the X chromosome is notexpressed. Question:A woman with normal teeth had four children with a man with non-severe form of AI: A boy was born without amelogenesis imperfecta A girl was born without amelogenesis imperfecta A boy was born with severe amelogenesis imperfecta A boy was born with non severe amelogenesis imperfecta Identify the parental genotypes. Complete the Punnett square for the parental cross, and identify the possible…

Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. A couple are both carriers of the recessive allele (both heterozygous (Cc)) and have the normal wild-type phenotype. What is the probability of the following occurring; If they have two children, what is the probability of them both being unaffected (CC or Cc) by the disease?
Recessive hemophilia, x-linked. The man has it, and his wife is a carrier. Draw a Punnett square to show this. What is the probability that their daughter has hemophilia? What is the probability that their son does?
A couple is going to have a baby. They are concerned about sickle cell anemia, which results from having the homozygous recessive combination of the sickle cell gene ("s"), which produces abnormal hemoglobin. Having at least one normal version of the gene ("S") results in normal hemoglobin. The woman is heterozygous, and so is the man. What alleles does mom have? What alleles does dad have?
