b. Using the same alleles, give the possible genotypes for II-2, II-3, and II-4.
c. What are the probabilities for each of the possible genotypes for II-2, II-3, and II-4?
d. What is the probability that all three of the children in generation II who have the dominant
e. What is the chance that among the three children in generation II who have the dominant phenotype, one of them is AA and two of them are Aa? (Hint: Consider all possible orders of genotypes.)

Using the pedigree, assume that the disease is caused by an autosomal dominant allele, R. Give the genotype of the following individuals:
(a) III-4 (the girl at lower right)
(b) II-3 (the girl’s mother)
(c) II-4 (the girl’s father)
Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele unless otherwise indicated. Assume complete penetrance.

- Take the example of B-thalassemia, an autosomal recessive genetic disease that particularly affects people from around the Mediterranean. This disease is associated with an anomaly of hemoglobin, a protein essential for the transport of oxygen, which is composed of four chains: two alpha (a) and two beta (B). In case of B-thalassemia, the ẞ chains are produced in insufficient or no quantity in an individual homozygous recessive resulting in insufficient production of overall hemoglobin leading to anemia and other physiological challenges. The gene that controls the synthesis of the ẞ chains is located on chromosome 11. Here is part of the coding portion of this gene (which controls a total of 146 amino acids and of which you only see the portion 36 to 41) and one of the targeted mutations: 1. Give the sequence of amino acids from the template and mutated strands. 2. What type of point mutation is it? 3.

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_forwardThe following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance for an uncommon human disease.
