Consider the disease cystic fibrosis, which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
a. An unaffected male and unaffected female have an affected child. What is the probability (in %) that the next three children will be affected? Your answer will include two significant digits after rounding (i.e #.#). Don't include the % sign!
b. What is the probability (in %) that the next three children (after the birth of the first affected child) will be unaffected males? Your answer will include two significant digits after rounding (i.e #.#). Don't include the % sign!

A human disease known as cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait. For example, the possible outcomes of a child inheriting cystic fibrosis genes are CC Cc cC cc if the child’s parents had one copy of each version of the gene so the probability of having a disease is ¼. Find the probability that 3 out of 6 children of these parents will have a cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in a single gene with two alleles. Suppose the frequency of cystic fibrosis in a population is 3%. Assuming the gene is in HW equilibrium, calculate the allele and genotype frequencies. If the population consists of 100 individuals, how many are carriers (but unaffected) for the cystic fibrosis allele?

82 GENETICS LABORATORY MANUAL 4. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases in people Northern European descent. A mutation in the CF gene affects a protein involved in the transport of chloride and sodium across cell membranes, causing thick mucus and secretions, lung damage, and nutritional deficiencies. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning one must inherit two mutated alleles in order to have the disease. Greg does not have cystic fibrosis, and...

PEDIGREE ANALYSIS Cystic fibrosis is a recessive inherited disorder that affects one in 2,500 people of European descent. People afflicted with this condition have defective or absent protein channels which causes an accumulation of extracellular chloride ions, leading to a buildup of mucus around the lungs and digestive system. This sticky mucus clogs the lungs leading to life-threatening lung infections, and also obstructs the pancreas and causes poor absorption of food. With treatment, individuals can live into their 30's and...

Joan is phenotypically normal, but had a child with the autosomal recessive disease cystic fibrosis (CF) from a previous marriage. Joan's father has hemophila A, a sex-linked recessive condition where the blood fails to clot properly. Her father has survived due to recent treatment advances. Joan now intends to marry Bill, who is also phenotypically normal but who has a sister, Jill, with CF. Bill's parents are phenotypically normal, and there is no history of hemophilia A in his family....

3. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder (cc) and is one of the most common life-shortening genetic diseases. In the United States, 1 in 4,000 children are born with CF. Symptoms of cystic fibrous include the production of salty sweat and thickened mucus in the lining of the lungs and air passages. The thickened mucus obstructs airways and promotes the growth of disease-causing bacteria in the lungs. Most individuals with cystic fibrous die in their 20s and 30s...
