A male dog is a carrier for the autosomal recessive disorders Centronuclear Myopathy (Y/y) and Von Willebrand Disease (D/d). The male dog mates with a female dog that is homozygous recessive for both traits (this female dog has both disorders). How many puppies in an 8 puppy litter would you expect to have Centronuclear Myopathy but not Von Willebrand Disease? 1 2 3 4 5

Step 1:** Determine the genotypes of the male and female dogs: - Male dog: Big Y, Little y, Big D, Little d (carrier for both diseases) - Female dog: Little y, Little y, Little D, Little d (has both diseases) ** Show more…

A gene for a rare recessive genetic disease (d) in dogs is tightly (almost 100%) linked to the RFLP used in the analysis below. A cross was carried out between two unaffected dogs and the pedigree shown below was observed. a) The disease alleles are associated with which marker in each parent? b) Which of the following must be true? Dog#7 is a carrier of the disease allele that he inherited from his mother Dog#7 is a carrier of the disease allele but you cannot tell who donated the allele Dog#7 is a carrier of the disease allele that he inherited from his father Dog#7 is not a carrier of the disease allele You cannot tell if Dog#7 is a carrier c) If individual 8 has not yet been tested for the disease, what is the probability that this puppy will have the disease?

Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. If a woman and her husband, who are both carriers, have three children, what is the probability of each of the following? (a) All three children are of normal phenotype. (b) One or more of the three children have the disease. (c) All three children have the disease. (d) At least one child is phenotypically normal. (Note: It will help to remember that the probabilities of all possible outcomes always add up to 1.)
