Question

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that primarily manifests in the respiratory system. Amy undergoes genetic testing and finds that she is a carrier of the recessive gene (f, which codes for cystic fibrosis), meaning that she is heterozygous (Ff). Her husband Rory undergoes testing as well and learns that he is homozygous dominant (FF-F does not code for cystic fibrosis). They are seeking genetic counseling to find out their probability of having a child with cystic fibrosis. Use the Punnett square in Figure 28.13 to help them find answers. What is the father's phenotype?In 1943, actor Charlie Chaplin was sued in court for child support by an actress named Joan Barry, who claimed Chaplin was the father of her child. Blood evidence was presented at the trial: Chaplin was blood type 0, Barry was blood type A, and the child was blood type B (the Rh factor was not tested). Presented with this evidence, the jury ruled in favor of Barry, and ordered Chaplin to pay child support until the child's 21st birthday. Did the jury make the right decision? Why or why not?
