1)Joe’s grandfather (on his mothers side) was a lizard man on a circus sideshow (the result of rare X-linked recessive allele that gave him a tail). Joe meets and marries Julie, whose uncle on her mothers side had a tail removed at the age of 2. Julie is now pregnant with their first child

  1. Assign genotypes.

  2. What is the probability that their first child will have a tail?

  3. If the first child does have a tail, what is the probability that a second child will have a tail?


2) Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is an autosomal dominant disorder, where individuals homozygous for the mutant allele do not survive
1) if a woman with achondroplasia marries a man of normal height, what proportion of their offspring is expected have achondroplasia?
2) if a woman with achrondroplasia marries a man with achondroplasia , what proportion of their offspring is expected to have achondroplasia?

1) Joe’s grandfather (on his mother’s side) was a lizard man on a circus sideshow (the
result of r
are X-linked recessive allele that gave him a tail). Joe meets and marries Julie,
whose uncle on her mother’s side had a tail removed at the age of 2. Julie is now pregnant
with their first child.
1) Assign genotypes.
2) What is the probability that their first child will have a tail?
3) If the first child does have a tail, what is the probability that a second child will have a
tail?
Since Joe’s grandfather had a tail so, his genotype should be X*Y and Joe’s mother’s
genotype should be X*X as; she should have received one abnormal X chromosome from her
father, and one normal X chromosome from her mother. Now, Joe may contain any one out of
following genotypes: XY (normal), X*Y...
