You can determine LCA isn’t inherited according to an autosomal dominant pattern.

b)

You can determine LCA isn’t inherited according to an autosomal recessive pattern.

autosomal dominant

b)

autosomal recessive

c)

X-linked recessive

d)

It is not possible to determine the inheritance pattern

65.

Recall that a person typically has two copies, called alleles, of every gene. One or both of these alleles may be mutated in certain individuals. Use what you know about LCA’s inheritance pattern to write the genotypes for Family #4 in Figure 3, using L to represent an unmutated allele and l to represent a mutant, disease-causing allele for the LCA-related gene. What are the possible genotypes of both parents in this family?

a)

Mother - LL Father - LL

b)

Mother - Ll Father - Ll

Mother - ll Father - ll
