Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissue. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Below are pedigrees from two families where some members of a family have Wilson's disease. Neither Hillary nor Justin have Wilson's disease.

Does the phenotype indicated by the red circles and squares in this pedigree show an inheritance pattern that is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked?
If diseases such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and atherosclerosis) are familial, is this an indication that there is a genetic contribution to these traits? What would you do to confirm that genetics is involved in this condition?

Wilson’s disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body’s tissue. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Below are pedigrees from two families where some members of a family have Wilson’s disease. Neither Hillary nor Justin have Wilson’s disease. If they have a child, what is the chance this child will have Wilson’s disease?
Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Mary is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Paul whose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibits sickle cell anemia. What are the genotypes of Jane and Paul? If they plan to have four children, what is the probability that: all their children will be normal? _________________________________ they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? _________________________ they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions?________________
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.

Martin and Sue are contemplating having children, but Martin’s brother has an autosomal recessive disease and Sue’s great-grandmother also had the same disease. Sue has a sister who has three normal, healthy children. What is the probability that Martin and Sue’s first child will have the autosomal recessive disease? HINT draws out pedigree charts and punnett squares for Martin and Sue.
Albinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation, but both have one parent who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What is the probability that their first child will have albinism?
Bob and Joan know from a blood test that they are each heterozygous (carriers) for the autosomal recessive gene that causes sickle cell disease. If their first three children are healthy, what is the probability that their fourth child will have the disease?
