Friday: Genetics Lec exercises I. Problem Solving 1. Imagine you are a genetic counselor, and a couple planning to start a family came to you for information. Charles was married once before, and he and his first wife had a child who has cystic fibrosis. The brother of his current wife Elaine died of cystic fibrosis. What is the probability that Charles and Elaine will have a baby with cystic fibrosis? (Neither Charles nor Elaine has the disease) 2. In mice, black color (B ) is dominant to white (b ). At a different locus, a dominant allele (A ) produces a band of yellow just below the tip of each hair in mice with black fur. This gives a frosted appearance known as agouti. Expression of the recessive allele (a ) results in a solid coat color. If mice that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the expected phenotypic ratio of their offspring? 3. The pedigree below traces the inheritance of a very rare biochemical disorder in humans. Affected individuals are indicated by filled-in circles and squares. Is the allele for this disorder dominant or recessive? What genotypes are possible for the individuals marked 1, 2, and 3.

4. In 1981, a stray black cat with unusual rounded curled-back ears was adopted by a family in California. Hundreds of descendants of the cat have since been born, and cat fanciers hope to develop the "curl" cat into a show breed. Suppose you owned the first curl cat and wanted to develop a true breeding variety. a. How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive? b. How would you select for true-breeding cats? c. How would you know they are true-breeding? 5. Given the ff:

a. What proportion of the progeny will be AAbbCcDDeeFf? b. What is the probability of having at least one dominant trait? 6. In the F2 progeny from a monohybrid cross, what is the proportion of heterozygotes among the dominant progeny? 7. A phenotypically normal man, who has a hemophiliac brother, marries a normal woman, who is not a carrier. What is the probability that any of their children will be hemophiliac?

8. In man, optic atrophy (a type of blindness due to a defective optic nerve) is controlled by a sexlinked, recessive gene. Aniridia (a type of blindness due to the absence of the iris) is controlled by a dominant autosomal (not sex-linked) gene. A woman who is blind from optic atrophy marries a man who is blind from aniridia, whose father was not blind. What types of children can they have? (use the letter “b” for optic atrophy and the letter “A” for aniridia) 9. A man files his wife for divorce on the grounds of infidelity. Both man and wife have normal eyes, but there is a baby daughter who has coloboma iridis (a fissure in the iris of the eye). This characteristic is known to be inherited as a sex-linked, recessive trait. If you were the man’s lawyer, could you use this fact as evidence? If so, how would you explain the case to the jury? 10. Coat color in cats is a co-dominant trait and is also located on the X chromosome. Cats can be black, yellow or calico. A calico cat has black and yellow splotches. In order to be calico, the cat must have an allele for the black color and an allele for the yellow color. Use a punnet square to show why there are no male calico cats. (use the letter “Y” for yellow and “B” for black) 11. A female calico cat is crossed with a male black cat. What are the phenotypes of the offspring? 12. In the 1950’s, a young woman sued film star/director Charlie Chaplin for parental support of her illegitimate child. Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was already on record as type AB. The mother of the child had type A and her son had type O blood a. Complete a Punnett square for the possible cross of Charlie and the mother. b. The judge ruled in favor of the mother and ordered Charlie Chaplin to pay child support costs of the child. Was the judge correct in his decision based on blood typing evidence? Explain why or why not. *refer to any Punnett squares to support your answer. 13. Baldness is a sex-linked trait. a. What parental genotypes could produce a bald woman? b. What parental genotypes could produce a bald man? 14. A blue-eyed man (1) whose parents were brown eyed (2 & 3), marries a brown eyed woman (4), whose father was brown eyed (5) and whose mother (6) was blue eyed. They have one female child who is blue eyed (7). Blue eyes are recessive. a. Make a pedigree chart based on the above information. b. Label the genotypes of the individuals in the chart. 15. Scale coloration of lizards has a complete dominance relationship where green scales are dominant over blue scales. There are 1,024 individuals with the genotype GG, 512 individuals with the genotype Gg, and 64 individuals with the genotype gg. Find: the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles and the frequency of individuals with dominant, heterozygous, and recessive genotype.
