- Multiple Choice
The pedigree chart shown depicts the inheritance pattern of __________.
- Multiple Choice
Determine the likely pattern of inheritance in the following pedigree. List the genotypes of the numbered individuals in this order: #1, #2, and #3.
- Open Question
The following pedigree is for the ABO blood type group, which is an example of autosomal inheritance. Using the IA, IB, i for the alleles, fill in the top half of each box/circle with the genotype. Also, fill in the bottom half of each box/circle with the phenotype (A, B, AB, or O blood type). If it is impossible to know for certain a specific allele in the genotype, then place a '?' as a placeholder to represent the allele that is in question.
- Multiple ChoiceThe genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a defective allele that __________.
- Multiple ChoiceTom's brother suffers from phenylketonuria (PKU), a recessive disorder. Tom and the brother's parents do not have PKU. What are the chances that Tom is a carrier of the recessive PKU allele?
