Andy and Anne do not have polydactyl. Is it possible for them to have a child with polydactyl? Explain.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes an abnormal production of mucus which in turn can cause damage and infection to the lungs and other organs. In the following pedigree, black indicates all those persons afflicted with cystic fibrosis (square symbols are males, circles are females). There's a healthy couple and they have two children. One is a 23-year-old daughter with cystic fibrosis who is married to a 24-year-old male who is healthy. The other child is a 15-year-old son who is healthy
After studying the pedigree, write a logical hypothesis suggesting the cause of cystic fibrosis in terms of dominant or recessive alleles.
On the basis of your hypothesis, write an appropriate genotype for both of the parents.
Using a Punnett square, what is the probability of the parents having a child with cystic fibrosis?
If the daughter's husband is a carrier of cystic fibrosis, what is the probability that they have a child with cystic fibrosis? Show your Punnett square.
Hemophilia is an X-linked disease associated with the inability to produce specific proteins in the blood-clotting pathway. Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflicted with the disease are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passing on the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbol above) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family
4.Assuming that the woman in the couple is a carrier, what is the probability that the couple’s first son will have hemophilia?
