1. This is a X linked dominant trait. The affected father is not transferring the disease to male children but to the females. ( Males children acquire X chromosome from the mother ) Since the female child gets affected X chromosome from the father and unaffected X chromosome from mother and still shows the phenotype, the trait has to be dominant.
2. Genotype of I-1 - XaY ( Xa is affected allele)
Genotype of I-2 - XX
3. 50% chance
Genotype of II-5 - XaX and II-6 is XY
A cross between then gives : XaX XaY XX and XY individuals. Since it is a dominant trait offsprings having the affected allele shows the phenotype.
There fore there is a 50% chance that the next child is affected.
4. Since it is a dominant trait if unaffected people or cousins marry and have children , none of them will be affected. The chances are zero.
4. What is the chance of the next child of individuals 1-3 and II-4 is affected?...
Is this a dominant or recessive trait? Explain why. What are the genotypes of l-1 and l-2? What is the chance of the next child of individuals lll-5 and lll-6 is affected? (More Challenging) IV-1 marries someone with the trait, what is the chance of their child being affected?

Alpha thalassemia is a recessive trait in humans. Affected individuals suffer from anemia, weakness, and fatigue. A man and a woman are unaffected but are heterozygous for the normal and mutant alleles i.e they are carries. Based on mendel's law 1/4 of the children are unaffected. If they have five children, what is the probability of them having one affected and four unaffected children, in any order?
1. If a child has PKU, what is its genotype? What are the genotypes of its parents (use A for the dominant allele and a for the recessive allele)? 2. Is it possible to count the number of PKU carriers in a population? Why or why not? 3. If 50 of the 500,000 people in Atlanta have PKU, how many people are carriers? 4. In Atlanta, if a woman with PKU marries a man without symptoms of PKU, what is...
if 1/40,000 individuals are affected by an autosomal recessive disorder in a population in HWE, what is the probability a carrier and someone with no family history will have an affected child?
If the pedigree shown is for an autosomal recessive trait, what are the genotypes of individuals II-1, II-6 and II-9, where A- is not kooky and aa is kooky. | 11 2 3 Ooh 14 5 6

QUESTION 9 5 pe If the characteristic depicted in the pedigree below is rare and subject to complete penetrance, it is likely to be X-linked recessive? 5 6 7 -OOO No, because individuals ll-2 and 11-4 are not affected No, because individuals 111-4 and III-6 are not affected Yes, because individuals III-4 and III-6 are not affected Yes, because only females are affected in generation 11 1. The gene for cystic fibrosis (normal dominant allele CF and abnormal recessive allele...
