A mother who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and a father who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease want to have a baby. What genotypes and phenotypes are possible for their child? Mom ____ x Dad ____ Write all of the genotypes and phenotypes from the above Punnett Square in the space below. Genotypes: Phenotypes: Fraction: Percent: _________ _________ ________ ________ _________ _________ ________ ________ _________ _________ ________ ________ Procedure: (Recessive Genetic Disorder) 9. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by a defective RECESSIVE gene that causes the CFTR protein to be dysfunctional. If a person has 1 or 2 dominant genes, they are normal. If a person has 2 recessive genes, they have the disease. When this protein works incorrectly, chloride is not moved properly in the cell and results in mucous in various organs to become unusually thick and sticky. CF is typically diagnosed in infancy, but even with modern medical advances, life expectancy is usually less than 30 years. 10. What letters will be used for the genotypes of Cystic Fibrosis? a. Normal: ____ b. Cystic Fibrosis: ____ 11. What genotype does someone have if they are homozygous normal?____ 12. What genotype does someone have if they are heterozygous normal? ____ 13. What genotype does someone have if they are homozygous for Cystic Fibrosis? ____ Complete the following Punnett Squares: Mom Dad

Respuesta :

For a person to develop Huntington's disease, he must be homozygous (HH) or heterozygous (Hh) for the dominant allele.

What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes?

Huntington’s disease is a type of defective dominant disease. This means that any person having 1 or 2 defective dominant genes, have the disorder.  But, if a person has 2 recessive genes, they are normal.

                                       Mom (Hh) x Dad (Hh)

                                                    H      h

                                          H    HH     Hh

                                           h   Hh      hh

  • Genotypes: HH, Hh, hh (1:2:1)
  • Phenotype: Huntington’s disease, Normal (3:1)
  • Genotypic percent: 25% HH, 50% Hh, 25% hh
  • Phenotypic percent: 75% Diseased, 25% normal

Cystic fibrosis is a type of a recessive disease i.e., a person having 1 or 2 dominant genes is normal. But a person having 2 mutated recessive genes are diseased.

  • Normal: CC, Cc
  • Cystic fibrosis: cc
  • Homozygous normal: CC
  • Heterozygous normal: Cc
  • Homozygous cystic fibrosis: cc
