Mr. Jones 15-year-old son has developed female-like breasts, has small testes, and his voice is still quite high pitched. Chromosomal mapping shows a 47XXY karyotype.

Her face is characteristic of her genetic abnormality. She has low nasal bridge, eyelids that are folded, a protruding tongue and flat, low set ears. She has already had surgery for congenital heart defect. a. What disease do you suspect? DOWN S SYNDROME b. What chromosomal pattern would you expect to find? TRISOMY OF THE 21 ST CHROMOSOME
5. Mr. and Mrs. James have 4 children, two boys and two girls. One of the boys and one of the girls inherited a disease from Mr. James. The other 2 children are not affected. Mr. James mother was also afflicted with the disease. a. The most likely inheritance pattern in this case is AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT b. Draw a Punnett square expressing this inheritance pattern. d d D Dd Dd d dd dd 6. Bill married his second cousin Betty. Both have normal health histories. Bill and Betty had 7 children. One daughter and one son have cystic fibrosis. a. This is an example of what type of inheritance pattern? AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE b. Draw a Punnett square expressing this inheritance pattern. D d D DD Dd d Dd dd 7. Refer to the pedigree chart on the next page for the following questions. In this pedigree chart of a family with known hemophilia, circles represent females, squares represent males, and solid colored squares represent males with hemophilia. a. this hemophilia pedigree chart is indicative of what type of pattern? X-LINKED RECESSIVE b. Check the appropriate statement(s) that can be determined from this chart? NO 1. Hemophilia male #14 could have a son with hemophilia. YES 2. Hemophilia male #1 could have daughters that are carriers
of the hemophilia gene. YES 3. Daughter #9 could have a son with hemophilia. YES 4. Daughter #4 could have a daughter with the hemophilia gene. NO 5. Hemophilia male #1 could pass the hemophilia gene to his sons. c. Why does the expression of Hemophilia gene skip generations? THE GENE IS CARRIED ON THE X CHROMOSOME. A MALE WITH HEMOPHILIA WOULD PASS THE X CHROMOSOME WITH THE HEMOPHILIA GENE TO HIS DAUGHTERS WHO WOULD BE CARRIERS. HIS SONS WOULD RECEIVE THE Y GENE AND WOULD NOT BE AFFECTED. HIS DAUGHTERS COULD PASS THE HEMOPHILIA X GENE ON. THEIR SONS (50% CHANCE) WOULD EXPRESS THE DISEASE. DAUGHTERS WHO INHERIT THE AFFECTED S GENE (50% CHANCE) WOULD BE CARRIERS.
