In Alaskan Malamute dogs, an autosomal recessive allele causes a condition in which the cartilage in the front legs fails to develop properly. This results in a type of dwarfism. Dogs with the dominant wild-type allele are of normal height. In the same breed of dogs, there is an autosomal dominant allele that codes for a curled tail and a recessive allele that codes for an uncurled tail. Show the possible genotypes for the offspring of a dog heterozygous for height and tail curl crossed with a dog recessive for both traits. Your answer must include the use of a Punnett square and a legend indicating the allele symbols used.
There are two genetic disorders that result from mutation in imprinted genes: Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome. Angelman syndrome results from deletion of UBE3A, which is a gene imprinted such that only the maternal copy is expressed. In the pedigree above, individual I-1 is heterozygous for a deletion of UBE3A and does not have Angelman syndrome. Individual I-2 is homozygous wild type for UBE3A. Which individuals in the pedigree are at risk for exhibiting Angelman syndrome, if any? (Who could potentially have the syndrome, based on what alleles it is possible for them to inherit and express?) Question 8 options: Only I-1 could have been at risk. If he does not have the syndrome, no one in the pedigree could. Only III-1 is at risk I-1, II-2, and III-1 are all at risk Only II-2 is at risk No one in the pedigree is at risk Both II-2 and III-1 are at…
A recessive maternal effect mutant in zebrafish, called ichabod, results in embryos lacking heads that are non-viable. You have been instructed to identify females that are homozygous for the ichabod mutant allele. At your disposal are a tank of wild-type fish (males and females), a tank of male and female parental fish that are all heterozygous for the ichabod mutant allele (ichabod/+), and a tank of F1 fish derived from a cross between a heterozygous male and heterozygous female (ichabod/+). Which of the following would be a way to identify females that are homozygous mutant, i.e. ichabod/ichabod? Select all answers that would work.
Suppose a geneticist uses a three-point testcross to map three recessive, linked hummingbird wing-shape mutations called tn, f, and b, where tn is associated with thin wings, f is associated with flat wings, and b is associated with blunt wings. He first crosses homozygous blunt birds to homozygous thin, flat birds. Next, he testcrosses the F₁ progeny to thin, flat, blunt birds. He obtained the results shown. Given this data, label the progeny phenotypic classes as either parental, single crossover (SCO), or double crossover (DCO) recombinant types. Each label may be used multiple times. Two classes have already been filled in.

For a certain gene in a diploid organism, eight units ofprotein product are needed for normal function. Eachwild-type allele produces five units.a. If a mutation creates a null allele, do you think thisallele will be recessive or dominant?b. What assumptions need to be made to answer part a?
Ectrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent and the hand is split. This condition is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Ademar Freire-Maia reported the appearance of ectrodactyly in a family in São Paulo, Brazil, whose pedigree is shown here. Is this pedigree consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance? If not, what mode of inheritance is most likely? Explain your reasoning.
Here is a family pedigree for an imprinting disorder caused by a loss of function mutation in a single imprinted gene. After generation I only related individuals are shown. You can assume that the parents not included in the pedigree did not carry the mutation. %3D II IV V Male O Female Affected Carrier a) Does the mutation involve a gene that is normally expressed from the maternal or from the paternal allele? Briefly explain your logic. b) Identify two ways in which the pattern of inheritance shown in the pedigree is different from X-linked inheritance I. Parthenogenesis has been documented in most vertebrate Classes (e.g. birds, fish) but never in mammals. Genomic imprinting provides one explanation for this observation. Why?
Take the example of B-thalassemia, an autosomal recessive genetic disease that particularly affects people from around the Mediterranean. This disease is associated with an anomaly of hemoglobin, a protein essential for the transport of oxygen, which is composed of four chains: two alpha (a) and two beta (B). In case of B-thalassemia, the ẞ chains are produced in insufficient or no quantity in an individual homozygous recessive resulting in insufficient production of overall hemoglobin leading to anemia and other physiological challenges. The gene that controls the synthesis of the ẞ chains is located on chromosome 11. Here is part of the coding portion of this gene (which controls a total of 146 amino acids and of which you only see the portion 36 to 41) and one of the targeted mutations: 1. Give the sequence of amino acids from the template and mutated strands. 2. What type of point mutation is it? 3. Using the principles of the theory of evolution, explain briefly and generally why…
Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
You have a Drosophila line that is homozygous for autosomal recessive alleles a, b, and c, linked in that order. Youcross females of this line with males homozygous for thecorresponding wild-type alleles. You then cross the F1 heterozygous males with their heterozygous sisters. You obtain the following F2 phenotypes (where letters denoterecessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type phenotypes): 1364 + + +, 365 a b c, 87 a b +, 84 + + c,47 a + +, 44 + b c, 5 a + c, and 4 + b +.a. What is the recombinant frequency between a andb? Between b and c? (Remember, there is no crossingover in Drosophila males.)b. What is the coefficient of coincidence?
In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?
