2 3 4 5 Assignments \#1 Distinguish between the following genetic terms: A. Gene and allele. B. Homozygous and heterozygous. C. Genotype and phenotype. D. Dominant and recessive. 1. A man with red-green colour blindness is married to a girl with normal colour vision. What is the probability that his children will be colour blind? 2. A boy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. His maternal uncle had died of muscular dystrophy at the age of 21 years. What is the probability that this child's sibs will be affected? Explain, giving reasons, whether the following pedigrees are compatible with autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked dominant and X -linked recessive inheritance. (Note that a pedigree may be compatible with more than one type of inheritance.) a. b. c. a. b. c. Assignments \#4 Examine the pedigree from a family with a genetic disease and ansv the questions below: a. Does this pedigree indicate autosomal dominant, recessive or sex-link type of inheritance? Give reasons for your choice. b. Assuming that B and b are the normal and mutant alleles respectively what would be the genotypes of the individuals: II.I, II.2 and III.3? c. Individual II.3 requested genetic counselling. What is the probability that her child would be affected. Explain why. Susan's grandfather was deaf, and passed down a hereditary form of deafness within Susan's family as shown in Figure. A. Is this mutation most likely to be dominant or recessive? B. Is it carried on an autosome or a sex chromosome? Why? C. A complete SNP analysis has been done for all of the 11 grandchildren (4 affected, and 7 unaffected). In comparing these 11 SNP results, how long a haplotype block would you expect to find around the critical gene? How might you detect it? .
