Follow-Up Questions 1. Your brother has an autosomal recessive disorder, while you are unaffected. Neither one of your parents is affected. Explain how this is possible. 2. Using the above situation, what is the probability that you carry the recessive allele? 3. A couple wants to have a child, but the mother has a brother who is affected by cystic fibrosis. They seek out the advice of a genetic counselor at their local hospital to determine what, if any, chance...
You must try to answer both questions: 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 a) Rob...
