Two individuals are each affected by a different single gene
Two individuals are each affected by a different single gene disorder.
One individual A shows an autosomal dominant disease with
complete penetrance whereas another individual B shows an
autosomal recessive disorder. Individual A is not a carrier of the
mutation for the recessive disorder that affects B. The chance that
their progeny inherits both the disorders is:
100%
25%
50%
0%
Solution
0%.
If individual A carries autosomal dominant disease for allele A (Aa) and is normal for other allele B (BB). Its genotype will be;
AaBB.
Individual B carries recessive disorder for allele B (bb), but is normal for allele A(AA). Its genotype will be;
AAbb.
Individual A × Individual B
AaBB AAbb.
Gametes: AB, aB Ab.
Offsprings AABb, AaBb.
1. Normal.
1. Autosomal dominant disease and carrier for autosomal recessive disease.
