The Blue People of Kentucky are known for an extremely rare autosomal recessive gene (met-H) which results in methemoglobinemia, a treatable condition resulting in blue skin. The affected allele can be noted as (b). Heterozygotes will be unaffected by the condition, but homozygous recessive (bb) individuals will have blue skin. We are following how this gene is inherited over 3 generations of a family using Punnett Squares: (ABC News) Be sure to answer all of the following genotypes and complete both Punnett Squares! 1. Ashley and Brandon are two newlyweds from Kentucky. They have just had their second child Andrew, who has come out with blue skin! The parents are extremely worried, and wonder how their son could have blue skin when they don't. Complete the Punnett Square and indicate their genotypes. (2 points) Ashley Ashley's genotype: Brandon's genotype: Andrew's (blue child) genotype: Unaffected children's genotypes: 2. Andrew grows up with blue skin and meets Adrianna. Adriana has had genetic testing, and finds she is homozygous dominant (BB) for the blue trait. Complete the Punnett Square and indicate their genotypes. (2 points) Adrianna Adrianna's genotype:, Andrew's genotype:, All children's possible genotypes: Brandon - Andrew.
