Woody Guthrie, who wrote This Land is Your Land, was heterozygous for Huntington’s disease (Hh). His wife was homozygous recessive and perfectly normal (hh). Huntington’s disease is caused by a latent dominant gene, meaning that it is not phenotypically (physically) expressed until later in life. Dominant disease genes are expressed in homozygous dominant and heterozygous people (HH or Hh). Draw a Punnett square for Woody ad his wife.

Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Question

5. Woody Guthrie, who wrote This Land is Your Land, was heterozygous for Huntington’s disease (Hh). His wife was homozygous recessive and perfectly normal (hh). Huntington’s disease is caused by a latent dominant gene, meaning that it is not phenotypically (physically) expressed until later in life. Dominant disease genes are expressed in homozygous dominant and heterozygous people (HH or Hh). Draw a Punnett square for Woody ad his wife.

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

2) On the soap opera “The Young and the Restless”, several individuals suffer from a rapid aging syndrome in which a young child is sent off to boarding school and returns three months later an angry teenager. Victims have been known to age up to two decades in variations of the disorder. In the Newman family, siblings Nicholas and Victoria aged from ages six and eight to sixteen and eighteen within a few months. Their parents, Victor and Nikki, are not affected; in fact, they never seem to age at all. A. What is the mode of inheritance of the rapid aging disorder affecting Nicholas and Victoria? B. Explain your reasoning:
A woman who is eight (8) weeks pregnant requests a direct test for Huntington’s disease on her fetus. She tells her geneticist that she wants the test because she recently discovered that there is a family history of the disease in her husband’s family. One of his parents is affected so he is at 50% risk of developing the condition. She is adamant that she does not want to give birth to a baby who is at risk of developing Huntington’s and says that the test will help her to ensure that this is not the case. In counseling, she reveals that she has discussed this issue several times with her husband but he has always said he is not willing to take a test. He does not want to know his status and is extremely anxious about the possibility that he might develop the condition. The woman and her husband are currently separated but are seeing a relationship counselor and trying to work things out. Despite this, the woman says they tend to fight a lot. When it is explained to her in counseling…
In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?
A mother is a carrier of a recessive X-linked disorder. What are the chances of her offspring being afflicted by this disorder assuming a healthy father? 100% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 0% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 25% chance for male offspring; ~25% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~50% chance for female offspring
If one person with the trait of Huntington's disease (H h) has 2 children with a partner who does not have a trait for the disease what is the chance that both children won't have the disease?
If a father is affected by an X-linked dominant condition and the mother is normal, what is the probability of their children being affected? All sons will be affected. Half of the sons will be affected. All daughters will be affected. Half of the daughters will be carriers.
a. Each person inherits one copy of the Huntington's Disease gene from each parent. Explain why the negative control sample (from an unaffected individual) only produced one band. b. Explain why the positive control sample (from an individual affected by Huntington’s disease) produced twobands.
问题13 Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is an example of a dominantly inherited disease. Individuals who have the dominant gene (A) have the dwarfism phenotype, while normal height is recessive (a). What is the probability of having children with achondroplasia between a normal height female and a heterozygote achondroplasia male? 100% 75% 25% 50%
Q1: What is the probability that a child with one parent who has an autosomal dominant disorder will inherit the disease? Q2: Why are there no carriers with a dominant genetic disorder? Q3: Because dominant genetic disorders are rare, it is extremely rare for both parents to have the condition (genotype Aa). Draw a Punnett square with two Aa parents. What proportion of the offspring would have the disorder? What proportion would be normal?

What is the genotype of a man who has migraine headaches if his mother did not have them? If a woman without migraines marries a man who is heterozygous for migraines, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If two people who are heterozygous for migraines marry and have children, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of the children.
Angelica just learned that her paternal uncle, Aaron, passed away from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (autosomal dominant).
