Muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked recessive disorder that causes the muscles to slowly weaken. Which of the following circumstances would a male child most likely show the trait coded for by the recessive allele? O A dominant allele is found on the Y chromosome. O A dominant allele is inherited from the father. O A recessive allele is inherited on the X gamete. OA recessive allele is located on a autosomal chromosome.

An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
In the human pedigree shown below, black filled symbols indicate individuals suffering from a rare genetic disease, whereas empty symbols represent people who do not have the disease. Based on the pedigree, what is the most likely mode of inheritance of this rare genetic disease? O Y-linked OX-linked dominant Autosomal recessive O Autosomal dominant OX-linked recessive

(a) Enter the parent phenotypes and complete the Punnett square Inheritance of sex linked recessive tralts Example: Hemophilia Female paront phenotype Inheritance of hemophilia is sex linked. Males with the recessive (hemophilia) allele, are affected. Females can be carriers. (normal female) Xxh (carrier female) ben-N werxhxh (hemophiliac female) leizobXY (normal male) xhy (hemophiliac male) Male parent phenotype: Using the codes: XX eggs (a) Enter the parent phenotypes and complete the Punnett square for a cross between a normal male and a carrier female. sperm (b) Give the ratios for the phenotypes from this cross. Phenotype ratios: Inheritance of sex linked dominant traits Example: Sex linked form of rickets A rare form of rickets is inherited on the X chromosome. Using the codes: XX Female parent phenotype: alvo eo (normal female); XY (normal male) (affected heterozygote female) XRXR (affected female) XRY Male parent phenotype: XRX eggs (affected male) Nor a cross between an…
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder and blood type is autosomal. If two healthy parents, one of which is blood type A and the other blood type B, produce a son who has hemophilia and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a son with hemophilia and blood type B? 1/2 3/16 1/4 1/8 1/16
An unaffected man and an unaffected woman mate and have a son affected with Kakamania. Which of the following mechanisms of inheritance can not be ruled out? Choose all that can not be ruled out. All of the mechanisms shown can be ruled out Y-linked X-linked Dominant Autosomal Recessive X-linked Recessive Autosomal Dominant
There are several possible modes of inheritance through which traits can be inherited. The following pedigree charts represent four different inheritance patterns. Match each type of inheritance with the correct pedigree numbered above. (Use each number only once.)X-linked recessive X-linked dominant Autosomal recessive Autosomal dominant
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child? Show ALL work using punnett squares.
Which of the following is the most likely description of the trait in the following family tree? X-linked Recessive X-linked Dominant Y-linked Autosomal Dominant Autosomal Recessive
Albinism, lack of pigmentation in humans, results from an autosomal recessive gene designated a. Two parents with normal pigmentation have an albino child. What is the probability that their next child will be albino? What is the probability that the next child will be an albino girl? If the child is normal, what is the probability that it will be a carrier (heterozygous) for the albino gene?
Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by a lack of ⍺-glucosidase, the enzyme that converts glycogen to glucose in the muscles. Babies born with this disorder die by the age of two. Pompe disease is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of two recessive autosomal alleles. A man and a woman heterozygous for the condition have two female unaffected children. Determine the probability, expressed as a whole number percentage, of a third baby being born a male with Pompe disease. Your answer must include the use of a Punnett square as well as a legend indicating the allele symbols used. (2 marks)
