Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissue. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Below are pedigrees from two families where some members of a family have Wilson's disease. Neither Hillary nor Justin have Wilson's disease. If they have a child, what is the chance this child will have Wilson's disease? I. 0 0 0 0 0 II. III. 1/9 1/4 1/6 1/2 1/3 1 1 2 3 2 4 Hillary 3 5 Justin 6 4 7

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.

Classify each person depending on whether or not Joe could have inherited the hemophilia gene from him or her. maternal grandmother Could have inherited maternal grandfather Answer Bank paternal grandfather Could not have inherited paternal grandmother
Your brother has an autosomal recessive disorder, while you are unaffected. Neither one of your parents is affected. Explain how this is possible.
Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Mary is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Paul whose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibits sickle cell anemia. What are the genotypes of Jane and Paul? If they plan to have four children, what is the probability that: all their children will be normal? _________________________________ they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? _________________________ they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions?________________
Frank and Susan both have freckles but they're firstborn son Lawrence does not demonstrate the characteristics. What are the most likely genotype of Frank Susan and Lawrence?
Martin and Sue are contemplating having children, but Martin’s brother has an autosomal recessive disease and Sue’s great-grandmother also had the same disease. Sue has a sister who has three normal, healthy children. What is the probability that Martin and Sue’s first child will have the autosomal recessive disease? HINT draws out pedigree charts and punnett squares for Martin and Sue.
Mark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with painful complications. His spouse has not experienced symptoms of sickle cell anemia but their first child developed the disease. What conclusions can be drawn about the mother's genotype and the probability of having a second child with the condition? Answer Choices: A: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 25% percent chance of having another child with the disorder B: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 50% percent chance of having another child with the disorder C: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 75% percent chance of having another child with the disorder D: she lacks the allele for sickle cell anemia in that she lacks symptoms of the disease. There is a 0% percent chance of having another child with the disorderMark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with…
