Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Any inherited disease is a genetic disorder. It is caused due to abnormalities in the genomes which are passed on from the parents to the offsprings. These disorders are sex-linked disorders, which are due to the inherited defective X and Y chromosomes.

- The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.arrow_forwardConsidering a common autosomal recessive trait: (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) the unaffected biological siblings of an affected person should be heterozygotes. an unaffected woman and an affected man have at most a 100% probability of having a affected child. an affected person should have an affected parent. The unaffected offspring of an affected parent must be carriers.arrow_forwardPKU disease is recessive. A man and a woman are both carriers for PKU disease. Determine the following: Genotype of the man: Genotype of the woman: Possible genotypes of children: Possible phenotypes of children: Probability of PKU disease in their children:arrow_forward

One parent displays the disease phenotype and one displays the wild-type (WT) phenotype. The WT parent always has a homozygous genotype. There are three possible modes of inheritance that underlie the generation of the data. All are monogenic. They are: (i) Autosomal Recessive. (ii) Homozygous Lethal Dominant. (iii) Autosomal Dominant. One's phenotype is determined by their genotype at the disease locus and the mode of inheritance, as we have seen with Punnett Square. on the F2 data and make a decision, based on your statistical analysis, as to whether you reject or do not reject the computer-generated model of inheritance as being consistent with the observed data. The mode of inheritance you are to test on the observed data is autosomal recessive. PARENTAL CROSS Parental cross: Father with disease phenotype, Mother with wild-type phenotype.

A female with one recessive allele will express that trait. A female can be a carrier, affected or unaffected. The trait is inherited from father to son. The gene is carried on the Y chromosome.arrow_forward
- Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "N" for normal and "n" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (NN or Nn or nn) but a man will have only one allele (N or n). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a.What are the genotypes of the parents? b.What is the probability that a male offspring will have hemophilia? c. What is the probability of having a hemophiliac female offspring?arrow_forward모오모오 What is the most likely mode of transmission of the trait? autosomal dominant sex-linked recessive sex-linked dominant autosomal recessivearrow_forwardAssume for a moment that a child has a autosomal recessive disorder, but both parents appear normal. What is the genotype of both parents? : one parent must be homozygous dominant : both parents must be homozygous recessive : both parents are heterozygous : both parents nust be homozygous dominantarrow_forward
- People with recessive disorders are usually born to normal parents who are both heterozygotes which means that both parents are carriers of the dominant allele for the disorder but appear normal themselves. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardThe phenotypes of individuals that are homozygous dominant and heterozygous for a gene with two alleles, one dominant and one recessive, will be the same. True Falsearrow_forwardAlbinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation and have one child out of three who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What are the genotypes of the albino's parents? One parent must be homozygous for the recessive allele; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous. Both parents must be homozygous dominant. One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous. Both parents must be heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous. O000arrow_forward
