Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CF gene, and there are several different
mutations that are known to result in CF disease. The CF mutations behave as recessive alleles to
the WT CF allele. If two carriers that have different mutations in their CF genes have children
what is the probability that one of their children will have CF disease?
A) 100%
B) 25%
C) 50%
D) 75%

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used for many different purposes, including
determining paternity. PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences from complex mixtures and can
be used to amplify sequences that although they may not have any known function may have
several unique sizes and these different forms are inherited according to the Law of Segregation.
Below is a diagram of an agarose gel of PCR samples from a mother, and several children.
Which letters represent children that could be biologically related to the mother?
A) A, B, and C
B) B, C, and D
C) A, B, and D
D) All of the children could be related to the mother

Huntington’s disease is a fatal syndrome caused by a mutation in the HD gene. The
disease has an average age of onset of 35 and the majority of individuals that are affected are
heterozygotes. What is the probability that a 25-year-old woman with no symptoms and who is
the daughter of a man that has HD and a mother who does not will have a child that will have the
mutant HD allele?
A) 25%
B) 50%

enzyme levels, and homozygous recessive individuals have low enzyme levels. What is the
expected ratio of the phenotypes A, B, and C in the progeny?
