George and Arlene are married and have 4 children (Tom,Sam, Wilma,Ann). Tom is married to Sandra and have two children (Daniel a
nd Alan). Alan is married to Tina and have a son Christopher. Ann is married to Michael and have a daughter Carla. **Affected people with alkaptonuria are: Arlene, Tom, Wilma, and Carla** My questions are: Does alkaptonuria appear to be caused by a dominant or recessive allele? What is George's phenotype? Is is possible for Daniel to have a child with alkaptonuria? Explain. How would knowing the pattern of inheritance influence the treatment plan for this disease?
Yes, daniel does have a 50% chamce or higher of being affected since his father and aunt and great grandmother have the bad gene. his daughter also has a 25% or higher risk of getting the bad gene
Transmission of pathogens especially the infectious ones can occur in all of the above. First is through people and animals, also through contaminated objects and lastly the environment. Hope this is the correct answer and this would be of big help.
