How is it possible Jonathan has the dominant disorder, Huntington’s Disease, if none of his family had it?
a)
The mutant allele remained ‘hidden’ in previous generations.
b)
He is homozygous for mutant huntingtin alleles unlike his grandparents, who are clearly heterozygous for the condition.
c)
The appearance of Huntington Disease in him might be the result of a new mutation appearing during his lifetime.
d)
His parents and grandparents were ashamed to admit they had it.

- Tony has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF). Neither of his parents have CF, nor does Tony. Tony is expecting a child with Tina. Tina does not have CF, but otherwise her family history is unknown. A) What is the probability that Tony is heterozygous for the CF gene? B) If the frequency of heterozygotes in the general population is 1/50, what is the probability that Tony and Tina's child will have CF?arrow_forwardDescendants of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) of England is believed to have suffered from hemophilia B, otherwise known as Christmas disease. Suppose that her affected son married her carrier daughter, what would be the chances of having a normal child? (A) 0% (B) 25% (C) 50% (D) 75%arrow_forwardI will be adding two questions here because I asked two of the same questions twice by accident earlier. A man and a woman do not have hemophilioa, but the womans father did. (Hemophilia is X-linked recessive). a) What is the probability that they will have a child with hemophilia? b) Is it possible for any of their daughters to be affected? Explain. A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this? a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple allelesarrow_forward
- Mrs Mumba delivered a baby girl in a certain hospital. Mrs Mumba has blood group O and the father to the girl has blood group AB. Mrs Mumba sues the hospital for giving her a wrong baby whose blood group was 0. (a) Explain using a genetic diagram why Mrs Mumba would win or lose the case. (b) What could have been the correct genotype of the actual father?arrow_forwardStefan has launched a paternity suit to determine whether he is the father of an orphan residing in a monastery. Can mitochondrial DNA be used to trace the paternity? Explain.arrow_forwardCystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition. Therefore, heterozygous (Cc) carriers do not display symptoms. Two parents who are carriers plan to start a family and you are a genetic counselor helping to advise them about their chances of having children affected by CF. a) Suppose the couple has 4 children, each one year apart. What is the probability that all 4 children will inherit CF? b) What is the probability that any 3 of their 4 children will not inherit CF, but 1 will be affected? c) What is the probability that their first child will not inherit CF, but the younger 3 children will inherit CF?arrow_forward
- Shown below is a pedigree for Phenylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. The characteristic feature of PKU is severe mental retardation A) What is the probability that individual II-1 is heterozygous for this gene? B) What is the probability that individual III-4 is heterozygous for this gene? C) If individuals III-3 and III-4 were to marry, what is the probability that their child would express PKU?arrow_forwardA man of blood group A is being sued by a woman of blood group B for paternity. The women’s child is blood group O. A) Is this man the father of this child? Explain. B) If this man actually is the father of this child, specify the genotypes of both parents. C.) If it was impossible for this group A man to be the father of a type O child, regardless of the mother’s genotype, specify his genotype. D.) If a man was blood group AB, could he be the father of a group O child? Why/why not?arrow_forwardHello, i understand the question, but i only need to know which option is right, no need for explanation. I mean jsut say which option, thanks in advance.arrow_forward
- Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease. A hemophilic man marries a woman who is not a carrier of the disease. (a) Draw a Punnett square showing the genotypes of their children. (b) What are the chances that their daughters will be carriers of the disease? (c) What percentage of their children are likely to have the disease?arrow_forwardThe pedigree pictured is of an extended family where a large percentage of family members develop colon cancer at an early age. In this family, individuals either get colon cancer before the age of 16, or they don’t get it at all. a) Based on the information you have been given, what evidence, if any, suggests an inherited contribution to the development of this disease? b) You take a medical history of all 33 people in the pedigree and discover that a large percentage drink a special coffee on a daily basis, while others do not. The individuals who do not drink coffee are I-1, II-2, II-4, II-9, III-7, III-13, IV-1, and IV-3. Could drinking this special coffee play a role in colon cancer? Explain.arrow_forward13) Use the image below of the X and Y sex chromosomes of a human to answer the following question. Which of the following statements is true?
