1. If a woman is homozygous normal and her husband is heterozygous for a genetically inherited autosomal
recessive disease and they decide to become parents, what is the probability that they will have a healthy
child? ______ out of 4.
2. If two parents are heterozygous for a genetically inherited dominant trait, what is the probability that they
will have a child together who has this trait in his or her phenotype? _______ out of 4.
3. The gene for red-green colorblindness is represented by the symbol ‘c’. The normal allele is represented by
‘C’. An individual with the genotype XC Xc would be a _____________
A. color-blind female
B. normal carrier female
4. In humans, the ABO blood groups are controlled by three alleles (only two of which occur in any one
individual): the alleles for A and B type blood are co-dominant toward each other, and both are dominant to
the allele for O type blood. Two babies in a maternity ward have lost their identity bands, and there is some
confusion about their footprint records. Baby #1 is type A; baby #2 is type B. If you are one of the mothers
and your blood type is O, which one of the following statements applies. Show how you have arrived to the
conclusion.
A. neither baby could be yours
B. the type A baby is yours
C. the type B baby is yours
D. either baby could be yours
5. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Doe were roommates at Harris Hospital and both had daughters at about the same
time. After Mrs. Smith took Susie home, she became convinced that the babies had been switched. Blood
tests were performed with the following results:
• Mr. and Mrs. Smith were both type AB;
• Mr. and Mrs. Doe were both type A;
• Susie Smith was type A and
• Debbie Doe was type O.
Had a switch occurred? Show the Punnett Squares to support your conclusion. Without Punnett square BO
credit will be given.
6. Red-green color blindness is inherited as a sex-linked recessive. If a color-blind woman marries a man who
has normal vision, what would be the expected phenotypes of their children with reference to this
character? Show the Punnett Squares to support your conclusion. Without Punnett square BO credit will be
given.
7. Red-green color blindness is inherited as a sex-linked recessive. A man and his wife both have normal
color vision, but a daughter has red-green color blindness, a sex-linked recessive trait. The man sues his
wife for divorce on grounds of infidelity. Can genetics provide evidence supporting his case? Show the
Punnett Squares to support your conclusion. Without Punnett square BO credit will be given.

III. A 30-year-old woman is admitted to the emergency room. Her husband, who rode in the ambulance with
her, said that she had suddenly complained of severe pain in the right iliac region of her abdomen and then
had collapsed. Upon examination, she was shown to have signs of internal hemorrhage and her abdominal

oligospermia [a low sperm count, however, his semen contains sperms!]. He confides to you that he does
not understand why this would interfere with his ability to have children since he remembers from his
biology class discussion that it takes only one sperm to fertilize an egg. What would you tell him?

The Final Exam is scheduled by the College. Bio 40 C final exam is scheduled on Tuesday, March 24,
2015. The exam is of 2 h duration, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm in SC1102
The final exam is comprehensive. Questions from the endocrine system, lymphatic system,
digestive system, nutrition and metabolism, urinary system, acid base balance, reproductive system
and development and inheritance will be asked to assess your understanding.
The above questions are for you to assess your preparedness - mainly from the chapters which
were not assessed during midterm exams.
I will see you on Tuesday.
