A particular person is said to be a carrier of a genetic trait. What does this tell you about their phenotype? (a) They physically show the trait. (b) They physically show the trait more than a noncarrier would show the trait.(c) They are almost normal but show an intermediate phenotype for the trait. (d) They are completely normal and do not physically show the trait.
One form of the bleeding disorder known as von Willebrand disease is an autosomal recessive disease. A man who is a carrier marries a woman who is also a carrier of the disease.
(a) What percentage of their children are likely to have a disease phenotype?
(b) What percentage of their children are likely to have a normal phenotype?
(c) What percentage of their children are likely to be carriers of the disease?
Hemophilia is a typical example of Sex-Linked Inheritance. If the man is hemophilic and marries a homozygous normal woman. What will be the genotype of the female child?

- Which inheritance is Uniparental?arrow_forwardA man has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.His wife and their daughter have the normal number of digits.Remember that extra digits is a dominant trait. What fractionof this couple’s children would be expected to have extra digits?arrow_forwardAlmond-shaped (E) eyes is dominant over round eyes. Presence of freckles (F) is also a dominant trait. Medium-sized nose, however, may be inherited if one parent has a large (L) nose and the other has a small (S) nose. Achondroplasia (A) is an autosomal dominant disorder that leads to dwarfism but not lethal.A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height.

How ?arrow_forwardRonnie is convinced that baby Charlotte must be his daughter. He has heard about something called the “Bombay blood type”, and he is convinced that this phenomenon could explain how he could be Charlotte’s father. Please explain the Bombay blood type and its implications in this SPECIFIC situation, including (i) how it arises and (ii) genes involved, (iii) who would have the Bombay blood type in this scenario, and (iv) could Ronnie be Charlotte’s father, if this was present? Also (v) how could you determine whether the appropriate person actually had the Bombay blood type? Please LABEL the parts of your answer (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v).arrow_forward
