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?
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.
Clark Kent and Lois Lane Kent are about to have a (Super) baby. As Superman, Clark possesses amazing traits, including heat-ray vision. Assume that this is: a) a dominant trait, and b) carried on the X chromosome. If Clark and Lois have a boy or a girl, what is the probability that they will possess their father's amazing abilities? (Remember: females have XX chromosomes, while males have XY chromosomes. The Y chromosome doesn’t carry any of the genes on the X chromosome).
X H = Superman’s heat-ray vision allele on his X chromosome
Y = Superman’s Y chromosome
X h = Lois’s normal vision allele on her X chromosome
