Homework Answers
1.What is the probability that individual A is heterozygous?
It will have 50% (1/2) chances of being heterozygous.
2.What is the probability that individual B is heterozygous?
The probability of B can be heterozygous can be considered from mating between II-7 and II-8. Their child III-7 will have 2/3 probability of having PKU allele and it will have ½ probability of passing it to the IV-5. It will have (2/3x1/2=1/3) chances of being heterozygous?
3.Individual B marries individual C. What is the probability that they will have a child with alkaptonuria?
If both parents (B and C) are heterozygous, they have a ¼ chance of both passing the alkaptonuria allele to their child.
Probability of getting alkaptonuria allele= p(B is A/a) x p(C is A/a) x p( both parents donate a)
= 1/3x1/4x1/4=1/48

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a disorder that causes defects in metabolism of the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, leading to a variety of symptoms (e.g. urine is black). AKU is a rare autosomal recessive disease. Based on the pedigree below, if persons A and B mate, what is the probability that their first child will have AKU? a. 1/48 c. 1/64 e. none of the above b. 1/96 Alkaptonuria (AKU) Is a rare autosomal disorder that causes defects in...

Problem: Congenital analgesia is a rare, recessive human trait. Persons with this disorder can distinguish between sharp and dull, and hot and cold, but do not perceive extremes of sensation as painful. For a phenotypically normal couple, who are both heterozygous, what is the probability that their first three children will have congenital analgesia?

3. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder that causes too much mucus to build up in the lungs. What rules of genetics do you need to use to solve this problem? a. b. Normal lung functioning (R) is dominant while having cystic fibrosis (r) is recessive. Jessica has cystic fibrosis while Jon is a carrier (a heterozygote). Use a Punnett square to predict the probability that one of their children will have cystic fibrosis. C. Genotypic ratio: Phenotypic Ratio:...

Dr. Zoidberg investigates the genetics causes of boneitis, a (fictional) bone disease for which the symptoms become visible when individuals tum 30 years old. It is already known that the disease follows an autosomal dominant pattern, with only one locus involved. Dr. Zoidberg analyzes data from a family for which the allelic status for the gene ADHIA (encoding the ADH - Alcohol Dehydrogenase- enzyme) has already been determined via protein electrophoresis (see lecture #3). The results are shown below. Hatch...

5. (30 0 points) Phenylketonuria (fen-ul-ke-toe-NU-re-uh), also called PKU, is a rare inherited disorder that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in your body. PKU is caused by a defect in the gene that helps create the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine. Without the enzyme necessary to process phenylalanine, a dangerous buildup can develop when a person with PKU eats foods that are high in protein. This can eventually lead to serious health problems. For the...
