Which is the mode of inheritance that is most likely? [That is the mode of inheritance that would mean that the pattern would HAVE to be as described, not just that is could have come out this way.] sex-limited, autosomal dominant Y-linked X-linked recessive autosomal recessive X- linked dominant autosomal dominant autosomal sex-influenced Solution Non-autosomal mode of inheritance is the one related to sex-chromosomes. The alleles associated with sex-chromosomes represent a differential kind of inheritance pattern and display a differential phenotype response in offsprings based upon their sex. Majority of the human diseases related to sex-chromosomes are X-linked in nature such as color blindness, hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Vitamin D resistant rickets or X-linked hypophosphatemia, Rett syndrome, Incontinentia pigmention and Goltz syndrome. Since both parents, a male and a female carry an X chromosome, they both are potential donors of X-linked allele of a disease. Since the offsprings can acquire a differential X-chromosome profile either from mother or father, their genetic make up will be dependent upon that of their parents and thus, their disease condition (carrier, affected, unaffected). Thus, X-linked (dominant or recessive) mode of sex-chromosome related diseases need to be explained theoratically and observationally, and not only be described as general procedures of genetic segregation. Since X-linked recessive diseases are more likely to cause ambiguity among inheritance pattern, a more detailed explanation would be requried for X-linked recessive alleles..

Consider the following pedigree, which traces the inheritance of a single-gene hereditary disease. Only individuals that are either affected or normal are shown. In other words, potential heterozygotes are NOT indicated. Characterize each of the following modes of inheritance as: impossible, unlikely, or probable. Justify your answers. Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive X-linked dominant X-Iinked recessive Y linked Solution Single gene herediary diseases are mainly caused by a change of any one gene in a particular DNA.Its divided into diiferemt categories like dominant ,recessive and X linked.Square indicates a male and circle female.According to the diagram affected male is crossed with an unaffected female.The progeny obtained is affected daughters and unaffected sons. Autosomal dominant: in this case, the father — has a 50 percent chance of having an affected child with one mutated gene (dominant gene) and a 50 percent chance of having an unaffected child with two normal genes (recessive genes).But, in our case none of the sons are affected which means its criss cross inheritance that is from father to daughter.Hence , this case is unlikely Autosomal recessive:To have an autosomal recessive disorder, you inherit two mutated genes, one from each parent. These disorders are usually passed on by two carriers.The cross given in the question is not between the two carriers.The male parent is affected for sure hence this case is impossible X linked dominant:As in autosomal dominant inheritance, only one copy of a disease allele on the X chromosome is required for an individual to be susceptible to an X-linked dominant disease.Both males and females can be affected, although males may be more severely affected because they only carry one copy of genes found on the X chromosome. Some X-linked dominant disorders are lethal in males.When a female is affected, each pregnancy will have a one in two (50%) chance for the offspring to inherit the disease allele. When a male is affected, all his daughters will be affected, but none of his sons will be affected.So, there are probable chance for this type of inheritance X linked recessive:For X-linked recessive disorders, an affected father who has a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome can transmit either the X chromosome with this mutation or a Y chromosome to his children. If the mother is not affected or a carrier, none of his sons will be affected since they can only inherit a normal X chromosome from their mother and they inherit a Y chromosome from their father. Each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier and a 50% chance of both X chromosomes being normal.In our cross all daughters are affected which means this type of inheritance is impossible Y linked:This type of inheritance is impossible in this case as all female children are getting affected.If it would have been Y linked then only sons should have been affected as Y chromosome is present only in males.Hence this.

Heritable Traits in Man, Pedigree Analysis and Pedigree Application

Rica Joy Pontilar

Most human genetic disorders are due to autosomal recessive inheritance. Describe how an individual can acquire these conditions from parents that do not display symptoms. A man has an X-linked recessive form of pattern baldness. From which parent did he inherit this condition. Explain your answer. Sickle cell disease in an inherited human condition of the blood cells. Those who receive the allele from both parents (homozygous) has a fill blown sickle cell disease. A person who only has one copy of the allele (heterozygous) may experiences stickling of their blood cells under certain, stressful conditions. Give a simple explanation for the heterozygous individual having a mild form of the disease. Why do individuals who inherit an A type allele and a B type allele have blood type AB while a person who inherits an A type allele and an O type allele have blood type A? How are pedigrees useful in counseling couples regarding the likelihood they can pass a genetic disorder on to their offspring? A female child has the autosomal dominant condition of polydactyl. The mother has the normal number of fingers and toes while the father has six fingers on each hand. The couple has a second child, a boy, who has the normal number of fingers and toes. Give the genotype of each parent and each child. Draw a pedigree demonstrating polydactyl in the above family. What is the likely hood that if they have a third child they will be born with polydactyl? Solution Ques-1: Autosomal recessive trait is defined as a pattern of inheritance of an allele that is recessive over an autosome as well as two copies of this allele is essential for an expression of phenotype. In autosomal recessive inheritance, both the sons and daughters have a chance to be affected. Most human genetic disorders are due to autosomal recessive inheritance. An individual can acquire these conditions from parents that do not display symptoms because most of the parents carry mutated alleles so that they act as \"carriers\" for the mutated gene resulting in autosomal recessive disorder in the offspring For example, Tay-Sachs disease is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder cuased by mutations potentially affects nervous system in humans. Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease, which results in progressive degeneration of nerve cells that causes physical and mental growth retardation eventually followed by death by the age of four. The disease occurs due to the deficiency of hexosaminidase A (HEXA) enzyme, which is needed for the breakdown of ganglioside GM2 (fatty acid). Tay-Sachs disease occurs due to the mutations in the hexosaminidase A (HEXA) enzyme, which causes degeneration of nerve cells..
