6. In class we discussed autosomal polymorphisms such as widow’s peak and detached

ear lobes, both of which are dominant traits. Suppose that a man with a widow’s peak and

attached ear lobes (whose father had detached ear lobes) marries a woman without a widow’s

peak and detached ear lobes (whose father had attached ear lobes). What is the probability

that their first child will:

a.not have a widow’s peak or attached ear lobes?

b.have both a widow’s peak and detached ear lobes?

c.have a widow’s peak and attached ear lobes?

Swannamotosis is a variant of Neurofibromatosis-type 2. It is an autosomal dominant condition that shows both incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Sixty percent of individuals with at least one mutant allele will show the condition in the phenotype. Of those showing the phenotype, 20% have a severe version, 50% have a moderate version, and 30% have a mild version. If two heterozygous parents have a child, what is the chance that is will show the most severe form of the disorder? To calculate this we'll have to multiply _______ X ________ X ________ X _______. If a child of two heterozygous parents, does not have the condition, what is their chance that they do NOT have the allele? ________
