- Hypophosphatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of phosphates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters, but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children. Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Draw Punnett squares to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios.arrow_forwardThere are several possible modes of inheritance through which traits can be inherited. The following pedigree charts represent four different inheritance patterns. Match each type of inheritance with the correct pedigree numbered above. (Use each number only once.)X-linked recessive X-linked dominant Autosomal recessive Autosomal dominantarrow_forwardThe following pedigree shows a family in which an inherited condition is apparent. The muscle biopsy from the one of the affected persons shows ragged red fibers and parking lot inclusions on microscopy. What is the most likely mode of inheritance for this condition?

- Ann's family has a history of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disease. In the pedigree, family members who are afflicted with the disease are shown in red. Members who are unafflicted may or may not be carriers. Which of the given family members can be identified definitively as unafflicted carriers of cystic fibrosis?arrow_forwardHere is one question with two sub-questions. Thank you for your time.arrow_forwardYour brother has an autosomal recessive disorder, while you are unaffected. Neither one of your parents is affected. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
