Chapter 27, Problem 3AYKA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The probability of a couple having a child with widow’s peak.
Introduction:
A widow’s peak is a V-shaped site seen in the hairline in the middle of the forehead. The growth of hair is observed in the forehead region, which is suppressed in the bilateral pair of the periorbital fields. This trait is known to be genetic.

Assume for a moment that a child has a autosomal recessive disorder, but both parents appear normal. What is the genotype of both parents?
: one parent must be homozygous dominant
: both parents must be homozygous recessive
: both parents are heterozygous
: both parents nust be homozygous dominant
If both parents are heterozygous for an autosomal trait (Aa), what is the probability that their child will inherit two recessive alleles and have the associated trait?
50 percent
25 percent
100 percent
0 percent
An Autosomal Dominant trait is only evident in the homozygous state.

It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA.

Their first child is a boy who has hemophilia. Tests show that the father and son both have the same form of hemophilia, that it is X-linked recessive, and that the boy has normal genetic inheritance. You can predict that if the couple produces more children together, then the odds are that: Select one: O a. All of the children will have hemophilia. b. Half of the boys and half of the girls will have hemophilia. O C. None of the rest of the children should have hemophilia. O d. Half of the boys and none of the girls will have hemophilia.arrow_forward
