PEDIGREE: Shaded individuals in the pedigree have a genetic disease. Individuals marrying into the family, that is individuals II–1, II–4 and II–6, have no history of the disease in their families.1. Determine the mode of inheritance ______________________________2. Give the genotypes of the following individuals
Geneticists are concerned about three different genetic conditions present within their family. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results in short-limbed dwarfism. (A = achondroplasia allele; a = average height allele). Red-Green Color blindness is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder (Xc = color blindness allele; XC = normal color vision allele). The 7-year-old son has an autosomal recessive form of deafness. (h = deafness allele; H = normal hearing allele.)
All three family members were karyotyped, and additional genetic testing was performed to determine the chromosomal location of the genes being studied. The figures below show the karyotypes of the mother and father with respect to the chromosomes containing the three genes mentioned above.
Question: The couple’s 7-year-old son has all three of these genetic conditions (achondroplasia, color blindness and deafness). Taking into consideration the genotypes of his parents, what is the complete…
Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked disorder (Xh). A man with hemophilia and a female carrier
are concerned about their daughter inheriting the disorder. Fill in the Punnett square below by

these parents the probability (percent chance) that their daughter could have the disorder.

- The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.arrow_forwardRefer to the pedigree below which shows inheritance for achondroplasia (dwarfism), a dominantly inherited trait (denoted as D), which are the darkened circles and squares. Dwarfism (darkened shapes) are dominantly inherited, while normal height is recessively inherited (hh). Based on the pedigree, what is the correct genotype for individual #II-6?

Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why?
