Huntington disease is an autosomal dominant trait that causes neurodegeneration later in
life. Matt discovers that his mother has Huntington disease (she is heterozygous). Matt’s father
does not have the Huntington disease allele. Currently, Matt has no symptoms but he does not
yet know what his genotype is. Matt is married to Sally, who does not have the Huntington
disease allele, and they have one son. What is the probability that their son will NOT develop
Huntington disease later in life?
A) 3/4
B) 1/2
C) 1/4
D) 1/8
Homework Answers
Huntington's disease is a autosomal dominant disorder. There is mutation in the HTT Gene which help in formation of protein known as huntingtin. This disease involve repeat of CAG trinucleotide unit in DNA more than normally. In normal genes the CAG unit repeated 10 -35 times whereas in persons having Huntington's disease it appears more than 36- 120 times.
.
The probability of not getting the disease later in life will be 1/2.

The ability to taste the bitter compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an autosomal dominant trait. The inability to taste PTC is a recessive condition. In a sample of 500 people, 303 have the ability to taste PTC and 197 do not. Calculate the frequency of: the recessive allele, the dominant allele, the homozygous dominant genotype, the homozygous recessive genotype, the heterozygous genotype,

10. Red green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive disease. That means that it is carried on the X chromosome, so men have just one copy of the gene while women have two. In women, both copies must be the recessive disease allele in order to show the disease phenotype, but because men only have one allele, just one recessive allele causes the disease phenotype. Matt and Kate both have normal vision, but Kate's father is colorblind. Use X for the...

Huntington disease is an autosomal dominant condition that doesn't manifests itself until adulthood. Ramon and Julie are married, and they discover that both are heterozygotes for Huntington disease. They have two children, ages 5 and 7. What is the probability that neither of the children has the condition? A. 1/16 B. 3/16 C. 6/16 D. 9/16 E. 12/16 Jilbid

3. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder (cc) and is one of the most common life-shortening genetic diseases. In the United States, 1 in 4,000 children are born with CF. Symptoms of cystic fibrous include the production of salty sweat and thickened mucus in the lining of the lungs and air passages. The thickened mucus obstructs airways and promotes the growth of disease-causing bacteria in the lungs. Most individuals with cystic fibrous die in their 20s and 30s...

1. (2 pts) Attached ear lobes (f) are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The dominant allele, F, produces free hanging ear lobes. Sam and Beth both have free earlobes, but their first child has attached earlobes. a. What are the likely genotypes of Sam and Beth with respect to the ear lobe locus? Sam: F Beth: FF b. With respect to the earlobe locus, Sam's genotype is homozygous,/(heterozygous or hemizygous? (Circle the correct answer). c. If Sam and Beth...
