1. Which best describes the genetics of the afflicting allele in the following pedigree (it is a pedigree of taste blindness)? a. autosomal dominant b. autosomal recessive c. X-linked dominant d. X-linked recessive e. Y-linked dominant f. Y-linked recessive 2. Albinism is inherited as an autosomal recessive. In the figure on the left, assuming that persons from the general population are not heterozygous for albinism (Aa), what are the genotypes of all persons whose genotypes are known? (i.e., indicate the genotypes on the figure for all known AA, Aa, and aa individuals) 3. Given the following pedigree, would you expect to find more of in Cleopatra-Berenike III compared with the general population? a. Loci which are heterozygous b. Loci which are homozygous for rare alleles c. Loci which display epistasis d. Loci which display codominance e. Alleles f. Loci 4. Suppose that an allele, b, of a sex-linked gene is recessive and lethal. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. If this couple had a large number of normal children, what would be the predicted sex ratio of these children (ratio of male children to female children)? 5. If a husband and wife have four daughters. Under most circumstances, what is the probability that their fifth child will also be a girl?
