Chapter 4, Problem 16QP
a.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The chances that a color-blind male and carrier female would produce a color-blind son.
Introduction: There are two types of genetic diseases: autosomal diseases and sex-linked diseases. The sex-linked diseases are inherited on the basis of defected or mutant protein on X or Y chromosome.

Purple Hair is dominant. Blue hair is recessive. One parent is heterozygous; the other parent has blue hair.
A.) What is the probability of them having a blue-haired child?
A woman without red-green colorblindness and with a normal chin, whose mother was colorblind,
marries a cleft-chinned, non-colorblind man whose mother had a normal chin. Recall that red-green
colorblindness is sex-linked recessive, but mid-chin fissure (cleft) is autosomal dominant. What are
the expected phenotypic ratios of the children? Show your work.
a. The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamideis an autosomal dominant phenotype, and the inabilityto taste it is recessive. If a taster woman with a nontasterfather marries a taster man who in a previous marriagehad a nontaster daughter, what is the probability thattheir first child will be(1) A nontaster girl(2) A taster girl(3) A taster boyb. What is the probability that their first two childrenwill be tasters of either sex?

- Analysis of Autosomal Recessive and Dominant Traits a. What pattern of inheritance is suggested by the following pedigree? b. For genotype assignment, assume that the pedigree is for an autosomal dominant trait and that the affected male in the first generation is heterozygous. Assign genotypes to all other individuals in the pedigree.arrow_forwardAnalysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?arrow_forwardAnalysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits As a genetic counselor investigating a genetic disorder in a family, you are able to collect a four-generation pedigree that details the inheritance of the disorder in question.

- can you help please?arrow_forwardHyyyyyyy solvearrow_forwardMendel's independent assortment: Draw a cell with a diploid chromosome number of 4. The gene controlling flower color (pink/white) is not linked to the gene for height (short/tall). Draw the cells and chromosomes in the process of meiosis (meiosis I followed by meiosis II, not all individual stages) in a plant clearly heterozygous for both traits. Be sure your answer demonstrates your understanding of Mendel’s 2nd law of inheritance. PLEASE HELP. This is all of the information.arrow_forward
