Question

Based on the information provided, you can infer that individual III-1 inherited both the      A.)  and the      B.)  of the SNP from his father.

 

Pick Correct Answer

A.) allele that causes neucrofibromatosis or wild type allele

B.) G or T

Consider the pedigree below, which represents inheritance of
neurofibromatosis, an autosomal dominant condition, and a single
nucleotide polymorphism with two alleles, G and T.
(a) Pedigree

Based on the information provided, you can infer that individual III-1
inherited both the allele that causes neurofibroi and the
of the SNP from his father.

Expert Solution
INTRODUCTION

A pedigree is a graph that shows how a characteristic or medical condition is passed down via family members. When information is available, the pedigree specifically demonstrates the ties between family members and identifies any individuals who exhibit an interesting attribute.

To ascertain if a condition is inherited in a recessive, dominant, partial dominant, autosomal, mitochondrial, or sex-linked manner, a pedigree analysis is conducted.

The structure and medical history of a family are graphically shown in a pedigree. Using standardized symbols and configurations and being methodical when taking a pedigree are key. A family tree can be used to locate individuals and families who are more likely to have genetic illnesses.
