Monohybrid Cross (Help!)


Nor Antonio

Recommended Posts

Hi, can you help me solve this monohybrid cross? (Most especially on letter B). Thank you.

 

1.    In humans, achondroplasia “dwarfism” is dominant over normal. A homozygous dominant person dies before the age of one. A heterozygous person is dwarfed. A homozygous recessive individual is normal. A heterozygous dwarf man marries a dwarf heterozygous woman. 
a. What is the probability (in percent) of a having a normal child? 
b. What is the probability (in percent) that the next child will also be normal? 
c. What is the probability (in percent) of having a child that is a dwarf? 
d. What is the probability (in percent) of having a child that dies at one from this disorder?

Look at the possible combinations N = Normal height and A -Achondroplastic :

Man A and N     Woman A and N 

         A                x               A                   = Achondroplastic and won't survive

         A                x                N                 = Achondroplastic

         N              x                 A                   =Achondroplastic

         N                x               N                   = Normal

Express the frequency of each type as a % .of the total crosses.
