Student Name:

Lindsay Cowley

10/10/15

3rd period

a. Childs Gender: female


b. Childs Name: Chelsea June Cowley-Murk
c. Childs parents: Lindsay Cowley and Nick Murk
2. Karyotype: Describe what information you can gain from your childs karyotype.
a. What sex chromosomes does your child have shown on their karyotype?
o XX (female)
b. How many chromosomes does your child have in each cell?
o 47 because she has Trisomy 21
c. Does your child have a chromosomal abnormality? If so, what abnormality?
o Yes, she has Downs Syndrome
d. Describe how it appears on the karyotype.
o Her karyotype shows an extra 21st chromosome (Trisomy 21); she has 47 chromosomes
in each of her cells
e. What are the symptoms of the disorder?
o Short stature, wide neck, small ears, irregularly shaped mouth, intellectual disability,
f.

heart defects, and depression


What is the prognosis for your baby with this disorder?
o 80% of children with Downs Syndrome are expected to live to be 55, or maybe older.
o Most children with Downs Syndrome are able to live fairly normal lives, but may need
o

special modifications for education such as special education classrooms.


Downs Syndrome patients can grow up and live with family and often care for
themselves with little help, but women with Downs Syndrome are at high risk for a

miscarriage during pregnancy.


g. What treatments and/or assistance would be necessary?
o Speech therapy, special education, physical therapy and possibly extra help going about
daily life
3. Pedigree: What gene disorder is indicated by your family history? Attach the pedigree
that you created based on your family history. Dont forget that if there are known
carriers, you should shade them!
a. Based on your pedigree draw Punnett squares to predict the probability that your
child will also have the allelic disorder. Make sure that you state the probability
after completing the Punnett Squares!
o (on separate sheet)
b. What are the signs and symptoms of this disorder?
o Nosebleeds, bruising, bloody urine or stool, bleeding that doesnt stop
c. What treatments and/or assistance would be necessary for a child with this
disorder?
o Replacement therapy (clotting factor is injected into the patients veins), liver
transplant, when a child has a cut it should be tended to immediately

4. Blood Types: Write out all possible Punnett Square(s) to predict your babys blood type.
Explain why multiple squares were or were not necessary.
o (on separate sheet)
5. Baby Lab
a. Choose 2 traits that are inherited by basic autosomal dominance or recessiveness.
i. For each trait, give the babys genotype and state whether it is homozygous
dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive
o Earlobe attachment hh (homozygous recessive)
o Hair type Hh (heterozygous)
ii. State the babys phenotype
o Earlobe attachment attached
o Hair type - wavy
b. Choose 1 trait that is inherited by incomplete dominance.
i. Explain why this is considered to be incomplete dominance.
o Mouth size is a trait that is controlled by incomplete dominance. We can tell
because there are three phenotypes (long, medium, and short) and the third is
a mix or intermediate version of the other two (medium is a mix of long and
short because it is the intermediate of the two). Our child has a short mouth,
so she carries two recessive alleles (bb).
ii. State the babys genotype and phenotype in your explanation.
o Genotype bb
o Phenotype short mouth
c. Choose 1 trait that is polygenic.
i. Explain what polygenic means
o Traits that are polygenic are controlled by two or more genes, therefore the
more dominant alleles someone has, the more extreme their phenotype. For
example, our child has the genotype PpQq, so she has dark blue eyes.
o Ex) hair color, skin color, eye color
ii. State your babys genotype and phenotype in your explanation
o Genotype PpQq
o Phenotype dark blue eyes
6. List 2 Correctly-cited resources from which you found the information about your genetic
disorders in MLA format.
o Downs Syndrome Prognosis: "Down Syndrome Prognosis, Prevention."
- Down Syndrome. N.p., n.d. Web. 09 Nov. 2015.
o Accommodations for Children with Hemophilia: "Hemophilia."
KidsHealth - the Web's Most Visited Site about Children's Health. Ed.
Gregory C. Griffin. The Nemours Foundation, 01 Dec. 2014. Web. 09 Nov.
