Tay-Sachs disease (infantile amaurotic idiocy) is a rare human disease in which toxic substances accumulate in nerve cells. The recessive allele responsible for the disease is inherited in a simple Mendelian manner. A woman is planning to marry her first cousin (their fathers are brothers), but the couple discovers that their shared grandfather's sister died in infancy of Tay-Sachs disease and their shared great grandparents didn't have this disease. What is the probability that the cousins' first child will have...

1. Tay-Sachs is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is the inability for infants to breakdown gangliosides in the CNS, which overtime build-up and destroy neurons. As the disease progresses, the child loses muscle control. Eventually, this leads to blindness, paralysis and death. If you have a family history of Tay-Sachs disease or if you're a member of a high-risk group and plan to have children, doctors strongly recommend genetic testing and genetic counseling. Scott and Tina are a young couple...

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...

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...
