Question
Question 17 Individuals with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (Bws) develop sporadic tumors due to a mutation in an imprintable gene, p57, on chrornosome 11. Normally, p57 regulates the cell cycle. The imprint on p57 is such that only the maternal allele is expressed. A heterozygous normal couple has two children with BWS and one normal child. How is it possible that both parents have the mutant p57 allele to pass along, but these parents do not themselves show the cancerous phenotype? A) Each must have received the mutant p57 allele from their respective fathers. B) Each must have received the mutant p57 allele from their respective mothers. C) The mother must have received the mutant p57 allele from her mother, while the father must have received the mutant p57 allele from his father. D) The mother must have received the mutant p57 allele from her father, while the father must have received the mutant p57 allele from his mother. E) Actually, there's something inconsistent here. Such phenotypes for the parents are not anticipated when an imprintable gene is involved. cs Scanned with CamScanner
