A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Assume that the ratio of females to males is 1:1. A couple already has two daughters and no sons. If they plan to have a total of six children, what is the probability that they will have four more girls? (a) (b) (c) 116 (d) 132 (e) 164
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
Neither Tim nor Rhoda has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but their firstborn son does. What is the probabilitythat a second child will have the disease? What is theprobability if the second child is a boy? A girl?
Normal No Spac Hemophilia is a blood clotting disorder that almost exclusively affects males. It is a sex-linked, recessive disorder (X). Using the details below, fill in the Punnett square to determine the percent probability of the couple having a child with hemophilia. Mother Father -carrier of -does not have hemophilia hemophilia -genotype XHX -genotype XY Mother. XH. Xh Father Probability of offspring having hemophilia: OFocus
Hemophilia is a sex-linked blood clotting disorder (h). A non-hemophilic man marries a woman who carries the recessive hemophilia gene. What is phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? (use the letter “H”)
Hemophilia is a sex-linked disorder, where XH = normal gene (no hemophilia) and Xh = hemophilia. A heterozygous female is crossed with an unaffected male. Complete the Punnett square and answer the questions from the parent cross (X#xh mates XHY). XH xh What is the probability of having a child with hemophilia? What is the probability of having a male child with hemophilia? Y What is the probability of having a female child with hemophilia? : xHxh : x*xh : xHy : xhY :: 0% :: 25% :: 50% :: 75% :: 100%
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a). Assume that Emily (who has CF) decides to have children with a man who does not have CF and who is not a carrier of CF. What are their genotypes, and what is the probability that they will have a child who is a carrier for CF?
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder where tumours form in the base layer of the skin or in nerve tissues. What is the probability that individuals II-1 and II-2 will have a son with NF1? Record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
Cystic fibrosis is determined by simple dominant-recessive inheritance, where the trait for cystic fibrosis is recessive. Given Rnormal, r is CF gene, complete the following Punnett square
