dominant trait, which of the following would be true?

In an autosomal dominant disorder, mom is affected, father is unaffected. The
inheritance chance for offspring is:
a. Affected 50%, Unaffected 50%
b. Affected 25%, Unaffected 75%

Autosomal Recessive
two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the phenotype to be
expressed
2 copies of the gene mutation for the offspring to inherit
both parents have to have the autosomal recessive gene
X-linked dominant
dominant trait or disorder caused by a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome
phenotype expressed in females and males
most of the time the offspring does not survive
x-linked recessive
mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be expressed
in males who inherit the gene as well as females who are homozygous for the
mutation
carrier females do not express phenotype
A mother is a carrier for x-linked recessive Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
gene. The father has not been tested but does not exhibit the phenotype that
would normally be showing at his age (upper and lower extremity weakness,
, 3
soreness, and arrhythmias). What does their offspring chance of inheritance look
like?
a. Non-carriers 50%, Carrier 25%, Affected 25%
b. Non-carriers 25%, Carrier 50%, Affected 25%
c. Non-carriers 25%, Carrier 25%, Affected 25%
d. Affected 50%, Non-affected 25%

c. Carrier 100%, Affected 0%
