Extranuclear inheritance often correlates with maternal inheritance. Even so, paternal leakage may occur. What is paternal leakage? If a cross produced 200 offspring and the rate ofmitochondrial paternal leakage was 3%, how many offspringwould be expected to contain paternal mitochondria?

Concept explainers

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.

Identical twins are produced from the same sperm and egg (whichsplits after the first mitotic division), whereas fraternal twins areproduced from separate sperm and separate egg cells. If two parentswith brown eyes (a dominant trait) produce one twin boy with blueeyes, what are the following probabilities?A. If the other twin is identical, he will have blue eyes.B. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will have blue eyes.C. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will transmit the blueeye allele to his or her offspring.D. The parents are both heterozygotes.
The karyotype of a young girl who is affected with familialDown syndrome revealed a total of 46 chromosomes. Her olderbrother, however, who is phenotypically unaffected, actually had45 chromosomes. Explain how this could happen. What wouldyou expect to be the numbers of chromosomes in the parents ofthese two children?
The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?
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.)
A snapdragon plant with violet flowers was crossed with another such plant with white flowers. The F1 progeny obtained had pink flowers. Explain, in brief, the inheritance pattern seen in offsprings of F1 generation?
In humans, a rare dominant disorder known as nail-patella syndromecauses abnormalities in the fingernails, toenails, and kneecaps.Researchers have examined family pedigrees with regard to thisdisorder and have also examined the blood types of individualswithin each pedigree. (A description of blood genotypes is foundin Chapter 4.) In the following pedigree, individuals affected withnail-patella disorder are shown with filled symbols. The genotypeof each individual with regard to ABO blood type is also shown.Does this pedigree suggest any linkage between the gene thatcauses nail-patella syndrome and the gene that causes blood type?
In examining a large sample of yeast colonies on a petridish, a geneticist finds an abnormal-looking colonythat is very small. This small colony was crossed withwild type, and products of meiosis (ascospores) werespread on a plate to produce colonies. In total, therewere 188 wild-type (normal-size) colonies and 180small ones.a. What can be deduced from these results regardingthe inheritance of the small-colony phenotype? (Inventgenetic symbols.)b. What would an ascus from this cross look like?
Mutations in DNA that result in altered proteins can causehereditary diseases. Pedigree studies and genetic testing mayclarify the risk of disease. At the chromosome level, nondisjunctionduring meiosis can result in gametes with too few or too manychromosomes, most of which produce inviable offspring.Imprinting refers to inactivation of alleles depending on whichparent the alleles come from; offspring in whom imprinting occursappear haploid for the affected gene even though they are diploid. During spermatogenesis, is there any difference in outcome between first- and second-division nondisjunction?
When Calvin Bridges observed a large number of offspring from a cross of white-eyed female Drosophila tored-eyed males, he found very rare white-eyed femalesand red-eyed males among the offspring. He was ableto show that these exceptions resulted from nondisjunction, such that the white-eyed females had received twoXs from the egg and a Y from the sperm, while thered-eyed males had received no sex chromosome fromthe egg and an X from the sperm. What progeny wouldhave arisen from these same kinds of nondisjunctionalevents if they had occurred in the male parent? Whatwould their eye colors have been?
In humans, one of the genes determining color vision islocated on the X chromosome. The dominant form (C )produces normal color vision; red-green color deficiency(c) is recessive. If a man with normal color visionmarries a color-deficient woman, what is the probabilityof them having a color-deficient son? A color-deficientdaughter?
What is independent assortment? Does independent assortment occur during mitosis or during meiosis?
Assume that a meiotic-nondisjunction event causes trisomy 8 in a newborn. If two of the three copies of chromosome 8 are absolutely identical, at what point during meiosis did the nondisjunction event take place?
