Pedigrees are frequently used to study patterns of inheritance in various organisms,especially in humans. List 2 factors which could make the construction of a humanpedigree difficult.
Based upon the above pedigree, How is this trait inherited. Please give specific evidence by identifying each generation by roman numeral, each person within that generation numerically, and stating which individuals support your claim. Look CAREFULLY!
In some aliens, one center horn (A) is codominant with two horns
(B). If an alien inherits both alleles (AB), then the alien has three horns. A
recessive allele (O) results in an alien which has no horns. Can you match
the genotype to each of the pictures below? Write the genotype and
phenotype of the four aliens in the box provided.

- Consider the following pedigree below for a rare autosomal trait. Be sure to take into account the inbreeding convention, when needed. After divorce, individual “A” decides to marry at random outside the pedigree. If the population allele frequency of the rare autosomal trait is 0.012, what are the chances of having an affected child for his first born of his second marriage?arrow_forwardThe pedigree below shows the inheritance of the rare blistering disease (epidermolysis) in dogs. Affected individuals are indicated in black, and those not showing symptoms (phenotypically normal) of the disease in white. The pedigree below represents an autosomal recessive disease. What characteristic(s) of the pedigree supports this statement? Number the generations and individuals in this pedigree. Write the genotypes and their genotype probabilities for all the individuals in the pedigree. Use E/eas the allele symbols.arrow_forwardFrancis Galton, a geneticist of the pre-Mendelian era, devised the principle that half of our genetic makeup is derived from each parent, one-quarter from each grandparent, one-eighth from each great-grandparent, and soforth.

- Tay-Sachs is a recessive lethal disease in which there is neurological deterioration early in life. This disease is rare in the population overall but is found at relatively high frequency in Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe. A woman has a maternal uncle who had the disease. Her father does not come from a high-risk population. Her husband’s sister died of the disease at an early age. Draw the pedigree of the individuals described. Include the genotypes where possible.arrow_forwardThe pedigree below tracks the inheritance of a genetic disorder through a family's generation. Determine the probable inheritance mode for the trait shown in the affected individual (the shaded symbols) by answering the following questions. I II 2 3 4 5 7 III 2 3 6 7 8 5 (i) Based on the pedigree, Y-linked inheritance can be excluded at a glance. Give your reason. (ii) What TWO (2) other modes of inheritance can be definitely excluded? Explain your answer. Of the remaining modes of inheritance, which is the most likely? Which is less likely? Explain your answers.

Consider all the appropriate symbols, numbers ( Arabic and Roman numeral) for all the members. Symbolically prepare a diagram that will represent your family pedigree.arrow_forward
- Based on the data, which trait do you think is dominant versus recessive? Explain the information you used to help you determine this. Based on your answer, how would you write the genotypes of the original parental generation for this cross?arrow_forwardDraw a pedigree of either your family OR a famous family such as the Weasley’s, the Skywalker’s, the Targaryans, the Karkashian’s.... Track one trait in the family - attached earlobes/free earlobes. (This was the trait tracked in the second video you watched). What I will be looking for in your pedigree is that the genotypes and phenotypes make sense in terms of complete dominance (Mendelian Inheritance), and that your pedigree follows the guidelines of pedigree drawing presented . make sure that your pedigree is clean, neat, and legible.arrow_forward1:1 1:2 II:1 I1:2 I1:3 I1:4 I1:5 I1:6 III:1 III:2 IlII:3 Ill:4 III:5 III:6arrow_forward
- Draw out a pedigree with 3+ generations that accurately mimics the inheritance patterns for one of the following: Huntington’s disease, sickle cell anemia, or genetic hemophilia. In your pedigree, be sure to properly denote carriers as well as people with the condition. Additionally, include the following, using proper pedigree conventions: a stillbirth and an incidence of inbreeding.arrow_forwardAssuming that the trait represented by the filled symbols in the pedigree is an inherited trait due to a single gene with aleles A and a, what mode of inheritance does the pedigree shown suggest? dominant recessivearrow_forwardCompare the bands of each set of parents to each of the babies and determine which baby belongs to which set of parents. Line up the bands and illustrate which bands each baby inherited from its mother and from its father. Figure 1 DNA fingerprint data obtained from three sets of infants and three sets of parents (a) Identify which baby belongs to which set of parents. (b) Explain why not all the bands in the mother’s or father’s profiles have a counterpart in the baby’s DNA profile. (c) List other examples where DNA fingerprinting could be used to identify an individual. (d) Explain why blood typing may not be a viable method of determining which baby belongs to which parent. (e) Identify the largest DNA fragment on the gel. Identify the smallest DNA fragment on the gel.arrow_forward
