Imagine a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child
who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither parent has Tay-Sachs, nor
does anyone in their families. Which of the following statements should this
counselor make to this couple?
A.
“Because no one in either of your families has Tay-Sachs, you are not
likely to have another baby with Tay-Sachs. You can safely have another
child.”
B.
“Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry
the allele. Any child you have has a 50% chance of having the disease.”
C. “Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each
carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the
disease.”
D. “Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must both carry
the allele. However, since the chance of having an affected child is 25%,
you may safely have thee more children without worrying about having
another child with Tay-Sachs.”
E.
“You must both be tested to see who is a carrier of the Tay-Sachs allele.”

Imagine that the last step in a biochemical pathway to the red skin pigment of
an apple is catalyzed by enzyme X, which changes compound C to compound
D. If an effective enzyme is present, compound D is formed and the apple skin
is red. However, if the enzyme is not effective, only compound C is present
and the skin is yellow. Thinking about enzyme action, what can you accurately
say about a heterozygote with one allele for an effective enzyme X and one
allele for an ineffective enzyme X?
A.
The phenotype will probably be yellow
but cannot be red.
B.
The phenotype will probably be red
but cannot be yellow.
C. The phenotype will be a yellowish red.
D. The phenotype will be either yellow or red.
E.
The phenotype will be either yellowish
red or red.

Imagine a family with two parents who both maintain
low fat levels through a combination of aerobic activity
and weight training. Which of the following statements
is/are most likely to apply to their two children?
A. The parents’ fat levels are irrelevant to the fat levels
of the children.
B. One child is likely to have low fat levels but the other
is more likely to have high fat levels because of
independent assortment of genes.
C. The children may not have the same fat levels as
their parents because genes independently assort
during meiosis.

the family has the disease. What is the probability that the
daughter will contract the disease?
A. 0%
B. 25%
