AND ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS 2024
Autosomal Dominant - ANSWER 1 parent has, 50% change of child having
Autosomal Recessive - ANSWER Both parents are carriers, 25% change of child having, 50% chance child
is a carrier.
Cystic Fibrosis - ANSWER affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs
21st Trisomy - ANSWER Down Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) - ANSWER male has extra X, female like qualities
Turner Syndrome - ANSWER Missing X in females
Alpha Thalassemia - ANSWER inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
Beta Thallasemia - ANSWER low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous sulfate
