Ehler-Danlos syndrome is a rare disorder caused by a mutation ina gene that encodes a protein called collagen (type 3 A1). Collagenis found in the extracellular matrix that plays an important role inthe formation of skin, joints, and other connective tissues. Peoplewith Ehler-Danlos syndrome have extraordinarily flexible skin andvery loose joints. The following pedigree contains several individualsaffected with this syndrome, shown with black symbols. Basedon this pedigree, does the syndrome follow autosomal recessive,autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominantinheritance? Explain your reasoning.

Consider two hypothetical recessive autosomal genesa and b, where a heterozygote is testcrossed to a doublehomozygousmutant. Predict the phenotypic ratios underthe following conditions:(a) a and b are located on separate autosomes.(b) a and b are linked on the same autosome but areso far apart that a crossover always occurs betweenthem.(c) a and b are linked on the same autosome but are soclose together that a crossover almost never occurs

On rare occasions, an organism may have three copies of achromosome and therefore has three copies of the genes on thatchromosome (instead of the usual number of two copies). Forsuch a rare organism, the alleles for each gene usually segregateso that a gamete will contain one or two copies of the gene. Let’ssuppose that a rare pea plant has three copies of the chromosomethat carries the height gene. Its genotype is TTt. The plant is alsoheterozygous for the seed color gene, Yy, which is found on adifferent chromosome. With regard to both genes, how manytypes of gametes can this plant make, and in what proportions?(Assume that it is equally likely that a gamete will contain oneor two copies of the height gene.)
Regarding Mendelian inheritance in diploid individuals, (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) a diploid individual receives two copies of every autosome from the previous generation. for every autosomal gene inherited by an individual, both copies can come from one parent. a diploid individual gives two copies of every autosome to a child in the next generation. to be diploid means that two independent genes are specified in the individual's genotype.
