Which of the following states a valid conclusion based on the pedigree above?
a. All children of individuals I-1 and I-2 could be carriers of the red-green colour blindness allele.
b. Individual II-2 passed on the red-green colour blindness allele to individual II-1.
c. Individuals II-5 and II-6 are carriers of the red-green colour blindness allele.
d. Individual I-2 does not carry the red-green colour blindness allele.
e. It is not possible to determine whether individuals III-2 and III-3 are carriers of the colour blindness allele.
4) Sickle cell anemia is an inheritable red blood cell disorder that results in sickle-shaped red blood cells. The sickle-shaped red blood cells can stick to blood vessel walls and cause a blockage or slow the movement of blood throughout the body.
Let HbS be the allele for sickle cell anemia and let HbA be the allele for normal red blood cells.

8) Use the following information to answer the next four questions.
A defective gene on chromosome 15 causes Tay-Sachs disease. It is a central nervous system neurodegenerative disease that most often affects infants, though older children and adults can have late-onset forms of the disease. The defective gene prevents the body from making a protein called hexosaminidase A. Without, hexosaminidase A, chemicals called gangliosides build up in the nerve cells of the brain, destroying brain cells.
A couple has one genetic daughter with Tay-Sachs disease and three other unaffected genetic children. Neither the mother, nor father, nor any of the biological grandparents of the affected daughter have had the disease. Tay-Sachs disease most likely demonstrates what type of inheritance?
a. autosomal dominant
b. X-linked dominant
c. autosomal recessive
d. X-linked recessive
9) SEE IMAGE ATTACHED (8)
10) If individuals II-1 and II-2 have another child, what is the probability they will have a child affected by Tay-Sachs?
a. 1.00
b. 0.50
c. 0.00
d. 0.25
11) Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism caused by a mutation in a single gene. Two individuals with achondroplasia marry and have an affected child and later have a second child that is average in height.
From this you can conclude
a. achondroplasia is produced by a dominant allele
b. achondroplasia is a result of codominance
c. achondroplasia is produced by a recessive allele
d. achondroplasia is a result of incomplete dominance
12) Trait W is found in the individuals represented by the shaded symbols in the following pedigree. Trait W is rare in the general population.
Which of the following patterns of transmission is consistent with this pedigree?
a. X-linked recessive
b. Autosomal dominant
c. Autosomal recessive
d. X-linked dominant
