The pedigree below tracks the inheritance of a genetic disorder through a family's generation. I II 2 3 4 5 III 2 (i) Predict the mode of inheritance of the genetic disorder. Explain your answer. If III-2 marries a woman who has normal parents and a brother affected by the genetic disorder, what is the probability that they will give birth to an affected child? (ii) Extend the pedigree tree to include the family of II-3 spouse and the fourth generation. Explain your answer. (iii) Obligate carriers are individuals who must carry the mutation that produces the trait. Please list the obligate carriers in the pedigree shown above.

Assume that attached earlobes are an autosomal recessive trait with 73% penetrance. If one parent is heterozygous (Aa) and the other homozygous recessive (aa) for the attached earlobe gene, what is the probability that their second child will have attached earlobes?

Suppose a man and a woman are each heterozygous carriers of a mutation causing a fatal hereditary disease not on the RUSP list. Prenatal genetic testing can identify the genotype of a fetus with regard to this disease and can identify fetuses with the disease. What do you think are the three or four most important factors this couple should consider in their decision making about having children?
the pedigree below shows the inheritance of a newly identified eye color gene. Assume 100% penetrance and expressivity. Use the pedigree to find: 1. Identify the mode of inheritance (either autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive) 2. Argue why your mode of inheritance must be correct. Your argument should cite specific individuals from the pedigree. (For example, the top left individual is person I-1).
