1. Nystagmus, a condition causing oscillations in eye movement, is inherited with the dominant allele N on the X chromosome. The X-linked recessive allele n does not cause Nystagmus. An immunodeficiency disorder called Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is inherited with the autosomal recessive allele g. Individuals with the autosomal dominant allele G do not have Chronic Granulomatous Disease. a. Tiffany has both Nystagmus and CGD. Her husband Todd has neither condition. Tiffany's father does not have Nystagmus. Todd's mother has...

Use the information presented below to answer questions 6 - 8. Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive hereditary abnormality causing death within the first few years of life in individuals with the genotype tt. These individuals never reach sexual maturity. Individuals with the genotype T do not become diseased. Abnormally shortened fingers (brachyphalangy) are due to the presence of alleles in the heterozygous condition (Bb) located at a different locus. Geneticists observed that brachyphalangy was conveyed by the dominant allele and...

Question 9 (1 point) Achrondroplasia is a form of dwarfism caused by a dominant allele. The homozygous dominant genotype causes death, so individuals who have the condition are all heterozygous. If a person with achondroplasia mates with a person who does not have achondroplasia, what percentage of their children would be expected to have achondroplasia Question 9 options: A) 0% B) 50% C) 75% D) 100% Question 10 (2 points) This is an example of incomplete dominance. Let H-curly hair and...

Creating a pedigree chart from a family history and hypothesizing pattern of inheritance A family with a new disease caused by a mutant gene has been found. The family history has been collected and recorded. You will now create a pedigree chart from their family history and use the pedigree to predict the pattern of inheritance the disease follows. • Read the following family history: Patient 1 and Patient 2 visited a genetics counselor and provided their family histories. As...

1. (2 pts) Attached ear lobes (f) are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The dominant allele, F, produces free hanging ear lobes. Sam and Beth both have free earlobes, but their first child has attached earlobes. a. What are the likely genotypes of Sam and Beth with respect to the ear lobe locus? Sam: F Beth: FF b. With respect to the earlobe locus, Sam's genotype is homozygous,/(heterozygous or hemizygous? (Circle the correct answer). c. If Sam and Beth...
