Please help me answer letters a - c. Use the situation in number 5 inorder to answer properly the questions in letters a - c. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. a. What phenomena apply to the condition in this family?Answerb. How is the inheritance pattern of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndromesimilar to that of familial hypercholesterolemia?Answerc. How possible is it that Tina would not inherit either the serious orasymptomatic form?Answer 5. Connie Winslow is deaf. When she was old enough to attend school, she beganhaving fainting spells, especially when she became excited. Her parents took herto a neurologist, who checked Connie's heart and diagnosed long-QT syndromewith deafness also called Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. This is a severeform of inherited heartbeat irregularity that can be fatal. Seven different genes cancause long-QT syndrome. The Winslows visited a medical geneticist, whodiscovered that each had a mild heartbeat irregularity that did not producesymptoms. Connie's parents had normal hearing. Connie's younger brother Jimwas also hearing-impaired and suffered night terrors, but had so far not faintedduring the day. Like Connie, he had the full syndrome. Tina, still a baby, was alsotested, She did not have either form of the family's illness; her heartbeat wasnormal.

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a very rare and genetically passed autosomal recessive disease…

Angelica just learned that her paternal uncle, Aaron, passed away from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (autosomal dominant). Angelica’s father was killed in a duty as a young man, and therefore, his status is unknown. Her two sisters, Eliza and Peggy, have been tested for the known causative mutation in the family and do not have it. What is the chance that Angelica has the familial mutation for HCM?

1. What role does a patient's genetics have in their symptoms of muscular dystrophy? What causes various mutations to cause distinct symptoms? (two to three sentences) (Think about why various mutations in different genes cause different illnesses.)2. What can family history teach you about a patient's muscular dystrophy inheritance and, hence, genetic basis? (two to three sentences)3. The X-chromosome contains the mutation that causes Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Explains how this impacts DMD inheritance and why DMD patients are disproportionately male. (two to three sentences)
10. There are two allelic variants of IGF2. One is 40 kilodaltons (kD) and the second is 50 kD, and both are detectable in the blood. Fred and Mary both only express the 40 kD protein in their blood. They have two sons, Bob and Todd, who both only express the 40 kD protein too. Bob's daughter, Jill, expresses the 50 kD protein in her blood. What can you conclude from these data? a. Fred and Mary must both be heterozygous for the 50 kD / 40 kD variants. b. Fred must be heterozygous for 50 KD / 40 kD variants; Mary's second allele is unknown. c. Mary must be heterozygous for 50 kD / 40 kD variants; Fred may be homozygous for the 40 kD. d. Fred must be heterozygous for 50 kD / 40 kD variants; Mary must be homozygous for the 40 kD. e. Bob is not the biological father of Jill.
2. Applying: After completing your biology class, you feel like you better understand genetics. Then you see an article on social media about Adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD). It links to a website that says that based on many years of research, scientists and doctors determined that ADLD is a genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning if a parent has the disease, the child has a 50:50 chance of inheriting it. But the author of this website found a family where all six children have ADLD, even though only the mother has the disease, and there is no history of the disease in the father's family. This, the author says, shows that science is all wrong about ADLD because if there is really a 50:50 chance of inheriting the disease, then only 3 of the children would have it. Is this article correct or not? Explain your answer
. Mutations in an autosomal gene in humans cause aform of hemophilia called von Willebrand disease(vWD). This gene specifies a blood plasma proteincleverly called von Willebrand factor (vWF). vWFstabilizes factor VIII, a blood plasma protein specified by the wild-type hemophilia A gene. Factor VIIIis needed to form blood clots. Thus, factor VIII is rapidly destroyed in the absence of vWF.Which of the following might successfully be employed in the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophiliac patients? Would the treatments workimmediately or only after some delay needed forprotein synthesis? Would the treatments have only ashort-term or a prolonged effect? Assume that allmutations are null (that is, the mutations result in thecomplete absence of the protein encoded by the gene)and that the plasma is cell-free.a. transfusion of plasma from normal blood into avWD patientb. transfusion of plasma from a vWD patient into adifferent vWD patientc. transfusion of plasma from a hemophilia A…
Make sure you have at minimum watched the WK11 Concepts in Context videos on Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Spinal Muscular Atrophy: “Mechanism of Splicing Regulation of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Genes” (2018) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6026014/ Abstract: “Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the major genetic disorders associated with infant mortality. More than 90% cases of SMA result from deletions or mutations of Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMN2, a nearly identical copy of SMN1, does not compensate for the loss of SMN1 due to predominant skipping of exon 7. However, correction of SMN2 exon 7 splicing has proven to confer therapeutic benefits in SMA patients. The only approved drug for SMA is an antisense oligonucleotide (Spinraza™/Nusinersen), which corrects SMN2 exon 7 splicing by blocking intronic splicing silencer N1 (ISS-N1) located immediately downstream of exon 7. ISS-N1 is a complex regulatory element encompassing overlapping negative motifs and…

2) On the soap opera “The Young and the Restless”, several individuals suffer from a rapid aging syndrome in which a young child is sent off to boarding school and returns three months later an angry teenager. Victims have been known to age up to two decades in variations of the disorder. In the Newman family, siblings Nicholas and Victoria aged from ages six and eight to sixteen and eighteen within a few months. Their parents, Victor and Nikki, are not affected; in fact, they never seem to age at all. A. What is the mode of inheritance of the rapid aging disorder affecting Nicholas and Victoria? B. Explain your reasoning:

What is the genotype of the woman what is the genotype of the man 2) Deafness in cocker spaniels is inherited.The allele for deafness is recessive to the allele for normal hearing. Two cocker spaniels with normal hearing are mated together. They produce a little of eight puppies, two of which are found to be deaf. Give the genotype of the parent. How many of the puppies will be unable to produce deaf offspring
3. Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects the shape of red blood cells. The disease is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, which encodes for hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. In sickle cell disease, the mutation causes the hemoglobin to form into a crescent or sickle shape, making the red blood cells stiff and sticky. This can cause blockages in blood vessels, leading to pain, organ damage, and a decreased lifespan. Given the severity of the phenotype, you would expect the frequency of the sickle cell allele to be very low. However, in populations in Africa where malaria is prevalent, the allele frequency is maintained at higher than expected frequencies. You examine a population of individuals living in an area where the risk of contracting malaria is high and find that there are 24 homozygous dominant, 70 heterozygous, and 6 homozygous recessive individuals. a. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg…
