  1. A woman who is a carrier for the cystic fibrosis (cf) allele marries a man who is also a carrier.

  1. What percentage of the woman’s eggs will carry the cf allele?____________

  1. What percentage of the man’s sperm will carry the cf allele?____________

  1. The probability that they will have a child who carries 2 copies of the cf allele is equal to the percentage of eggs that carry the allele times the percentage of sperm that carry the allele. What is this probability?___________

  1. Is this the same result you would generate when doing a Punnett square of this cross?_____________

Cystic fibrosis is a rare disease caused by homozygosity for a recessive allele, and characterized by a build-up of mucus in the lungs and difficulty breathing. A woman whose maternal uncle had the disease is trying to determine the probability she and her husband could have an affected child. Her husband's sister died of the disease. Assuming the uncle and the sister are the only family members who had the disease, what is the chance that the couple's first child...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. CF is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner with simple Mendelian inheritance. It is caused by the presence of mutations in the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. A normal couple intends to have children but consult a genetic counselor because the man has a sister with CF and the woman has a brother with CF....

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, the digestive system and other organs within the body. CF affects cells that produce thin and slippery mucus and cause the secretions to become sticky and thick. CF is caused by a deletion mutation on chromosome 7. In order for a child to have cystic fibrosis they must inherit a defective gene from each of his/her parents.   Rob and Jane have four children in this order:...

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system as well as many other organ systems. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, which leads to life-threatening lung infections. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene that produces the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This protein is responsible for regulating the flow of salt and fluids in and out of the cells in different parts of...

A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was six feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. How many of their daughters might be expected to be color-blind and of normal height? Justify your answer.
