Summary Introduction

(A)

To determine:

The percent of the egg produced by a carrier female is affected with cystic fibrosis.

Introduction:

The allele is the form of a single gene present in an organism. The different combination of the alleles determines the genotype and phenotype of the organism. The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition.

Summary Introduction

(B)

To determine:

The percent of the egg produced by a carrier male would carry a gene for cystic fibrosis.

Introduction:

The allele is the form of a single gene present in an organism. The different combination of the alleles determines the genotype and phenotype of the organism. The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition.

Summary Introduction

(C)

To determine:

The probability of the offspring affected by the condition of cystic fibrosis.

Introduction:

The allele is the form of a single gene present in an organism. The different combination of the alleles determines the genotype and phenotype of the organism. The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition. The cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, that occur by the inheritance of two affected or recessive alleles.

Summary Introduction

(D)

To determine:

If the probability of the offspring affected by the condition of cystic fibrosis is same as in part C.

Introduction:

The allele is the form of a single gene present in an organism. The different combination of the alleles determines the genotype and phenotype of the organism. The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition. The cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, that occur by the inheritance of two affected or recessive alleles.

Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is referred to as a sex-linked disease. The recessive allele causes the disease. A man with hemophilia (xhy) marries a woman who is homozygous dominant (XHXH. A. Illustrate using a Punnett square the probability that their children will have the disease. B. Will any of their children have the disease? C. Predict the probabilities of their children having the disease.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S. How many offspring will be affected by the disorder if the mother is a carrier, and the father appears to be normal? (Include the gender) a. b. How many will become carriers? (include the gender) A- 三三三 四 四 II !!
Assume that one of Merida's sons, who is heterozygous for orange hair color, married a girl that was also heterozygous. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if they had children. a. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children. b. What are the chances of a child with orange hair? c. What are the chantes of a child with yellow?
