1. Mary and Joe are both healthy individuals. Joe has a mother who suffered from cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder. Mary has been genetically tested in order to find out if she has the allele responsible for this disease and her tests came out positive. They are planning on having two children together in the near future. What is the probability that she and Joe will have either 2 boys who have the disorder, OR that they have one boy who has the disorder and one boy who does not? (in other words, what is the probability that any of these two outcomes takes place? a) 1/8 b) 1/16 c) 3/32 d) 1/64 e) 9/64
1. Red-green colorblindness is caused by a recessive allele (x) at an X-linked gene, and albinism is caused by a recessive allele (a) at an autosomal gene. A phenotypically normal woman (Sara) has a father who is colorblind, and she knows that she is a carrier for albinism. She plans to have a child with a colorblind man (Abdul) who is also a carrier for albinism. What is the probability that Sara and Abdul's child will have one of the conditions, but not both? (C. Follow the steps below to answer this question. a) What is the cross? b) What are the target genotypes? Note: it might be useful to come back to this one and double- check it after you have completed step c, below. Break this down to the single gene level by answering the following questions: a. What is the proportion of normal to albino offspring? Show the Punnett square: b. What is the proportion of normal to colorblind offspring? Show the Punnett square: d) What is the probability that Sara and Abdul's child will have one…

Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation.  Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h .  Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y. What is the probability that they will have:a. a child with normal skin? _____________________b. a child with normal blood? _____________________c. an albino girl? _____________________d. A hemophilic boy? _____________________

Red-green color blindness is inherited through an X-linked, recessive allele (b). Two parents, Fred and Ginger, have normal vision. They have two daughters, Takiyah and Kelly, who also have normal vision, and a color-blind son, David. 3. Daughter Kelly has a color-blind son, Kevin. Daughter Takiyah has five sons, all with normal vision. What are the genotypes of all the individuals? Show all your work! Fred Ginger David Takiyah Kelly Kevin Takiyah's five sons If Kelly marries a man with normal vision, what is the probability that she'll have a color-blind son? a color-blind daughter?
Clark's eyes are brown in color. However, both his parents have eyes that are blue in color. According to the dominant-recessive genes principle, the most likely reason for Clark's eyes being brown in color is that
