Transcript
The following is the pedigree of a
trait contolled by recessive gene
action.
• For those traits exhibiting recessive
gene action:
• unaffected parents can have affected
offspring
• affected individuals can be male or
female
The following is the pedigree of a trait
contolled by dominant gene action.
• For those traits exhibiting dominant
gene action:
• affected individuals have at least one
affected parent
• the phenotype generally appears every
generation
• two unaffected parents only have
unaffected offspring
•A man and woman marry. They have five children, 2
girls and 3 boys. The mother is a carrier of hemophilia,
an X-linked disorder. She passes the gene on to two of
the boys who died in childhood and one of the
daughters is also a carrier. Both daughters marry men
without hemophilia and have 3 children (2 boys and a
girl). The carrier daughter has one son with
hemophilia. One of the non-carrier daughter’s sons
marries a woman who is a carrier and they have twin
daughters. What is the percent chance that each
daughter will also be a carrier?
