The pedigree below shows three generations of a family that carries albinism, an autosomal recessive genetic disease. In the third generation, a child was born with albinism but the genotypes of the rest of the family are unknown. No other family members have the disease. Assume normal, Mendelian genetics with no new mutations. What are the genotypes of the parents of the affected child?
A) There is not enough information to determine their genotypes
B) Both are homozygous for albinism
C) One is hemizygous and one is heterozygous for albinism
D) Both are heterozygous for albinism
E) One is homozygous and one is heterozygous for abinism
Regarding Mendelian inheritance in diploid individuals,
(Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that
you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un-
selected.)
a diploid individual receives two copies of every autosome from the previous
generation.
for every autosomal gene inherited by an individual, both copies can come from
one parent.
a diploid individual gives two copies of every autosome to a child in the next
generation.
to be diploid means that two independent genes are specified in the individual's
genotype.
The pedigree below shows that inheritance of a disease that is caused by a late onset, dominant, autosomal mutation that is rare, but only 50% penetrant. The gene that is mutated in the disease is linked at a distance of 10 cm to a microsatellite marker that has alleles numbered 1, 2, and 3. The marker alleles detected in each individual are indicated below.
What is the probability that individual A will develop the disease? Explain using an illustration of this occurs.

- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?arrow_forwardA woman who is heterozygous for gene B has brown eyes. B is a dominant allele for brown pigmentation, while b is recessive allele for blue pigmentation. The woman has a patch of blue color in her left eye. Give THREE (3) reasons how this might occur.arrow_forwardIn humans, ABO blood types refer to glycoproteins in the membranes of red blood cells. There are three alleles for this autosomal gene: IA, IB, and i. The IA allele codes for the A sugar, The IB allele codes for the B sugar, and the i allele doesn't code for any sugar. IA and IB are codominant, and i is recessive to both IA and IB. If an individual with type AB blood has a child with an individual with type O blood, what blood types could their children possibly have?arrow_forward

Assume that the individuals marked with an asterisk (*) do not carry any allele associated with the affected phenotype, no other mutation spontaneously occurred, and complete penetrance.

- Pls answer the very last question. “ suppose that lll-2 and lll-5 were to have a child. What is the probability that their first child will be have the disorder?”arrow_forwardX‑linked, recessive diseases, such as hemophilia, are extremely rare in the population. However, many women are carriers and show no sign of the disease. The pedigree illustrates the inheritance of an X‑linked, recessive disease. Determine whether the unknown individuals are affected by the disease, unaffected by the disease, or carriers of the X‑linked recessive allele. Unaffected individuals are not carriers of the X‑linked recessive allele.arrow_forwardEctrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent and the hand is split. This condition is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Ademar Freire-Maia reported the appearance of ectrodactyly in a family in São Paulo, Brazil, whose pedigree is shown here. Is this pedigree consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance? If not, what mode of inheritance is most likely? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
