in chromosome 4. The allele for yellow-brown teeth color (D) is completely dominant to the allele for normal
teeth (d). This condition has been found to be associated with another genetic condition, Osteogenesis
imperfecta, characterized by having brittle bones. One type of this disorder occurs when two copies of the
recessive allele (c) for collagen type I (COLIA1) gene are present in an individual's chromosome 17.
2.
A man with normal teeth and who exhibits a mild case of Osteogenesis imperfecta (Ol) was born to
a father who has discolored teeth and a mother who has normal teeth. Both the man's father and
mother do not manifest Oi. What is the genotype of...
a.1. the man's father?
a.2. the man's mother?
a.
b.
If this man in (a) would marry, what should be the genotype of his wife in order that none of their
future children will manifest any of the conditions? Support your answer by showing the cross.

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature: the legs and arms of people with achondroplasia are short compared with the head and trunk. The disorder is due to a base substitution in the gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, that encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Although achondroplasia is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, more than 80% of the people who have achondroplasia are born to parents with normal stature. This high percentage indicates that most cases are caused by newly arising mutations; these cases (not inherited from an affected parent) are referred to as sporadic. Studies have demonstrated that sporadic cases of achondroplasia are almost always caused by mutations inherited from the father (paternal mutations). In addition, the occurrence of achondroplasia is higher among the children of older fathers; approximately 50% of children with achondroplasia are born to fathers…
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 and very loose joints. The pedigree below contains several individualsaffected with this syndrome, shown with black symbols. Based onthis pedigree, does the syndrome appear to follow autosomalrecessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, or X-linkeddominant inheritance? Explain your reasoning.
We often speak of diseases such as phenylketonuria (PKU) andachondroplasia as having a genetic basis. Explain whether the followingstatements are accurate with regard to the genetic basis ofany human disease (not just PKU and achondroplasia).A. An individual must inherit two copies of a mutant allele to havedisease symptoms.B. A genetic predisposition means that an individual has inheritedone or more alleles that make it more likely that she or he willdevelop disease symptoms than other individuals in a populationwill.C. A genetic predisposition to develop a disease may be passedfrom parents to offspring.D. The genetic basis for a disease is always more important thanthe environment.

In retinoblastoma, a mutation in one allele of the RB1 tumorsuppressorgene can be inherited from the germ line, causingan autosomal dominant predisposition to the developmentof eye tumors. To develop tumors, a somatic mutation in thesecond copy of the RB1 gene is necessary, indicating that themutation itself acts as a recessive trait. Given that the firstmutation can be inherited, in what ways can a second mutationalevent occur?

Two related forms of muscular dystrophy—Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)—are both recessive, X-linked, single-gene conditions caused by point mutations, deletions, and insertion in the dystrophin gene. Each mutated form of dystrophin is one allele. Of the two diseases, DMD is much more severe. Given your knowledge of mutations, the genetic code, and translation, propose an explanation for why the two disorders differ greatly in severity.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is due to a mutation in a gene that encodesa protein called hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase(HPRT). HPRT is an enzyme that functions in purine metabolism.People afflicted with this syndrome have severe neurodegenerationand loss of motor control. The pedigree below contains severalindividuals with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, shown with blacksymbols. Based on this pedigree, does this syndrome appearto be inherited by an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant,X-linked recessive, or X-linked dominant pattern? Explainyour reasoning.
Pancreatic cancer is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in the family illustrated in Figure 23.1. Yet most cases of pancreatic cancer are sporadic, appearing as isolated cases in families with no obvious inheritance. How can a trait be strongly inherited in one family and not inherited in another?
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a severe skin disorder that results in blisters over the entire body. The disorder is caused by autosomal recessive mutations at any one of three loci that help to encode laminin 5, a major component in the dermal–epidermal basement membrane. Leena Pulkkinen and colleagues described a male newborn who was born with JEB and died at 2 months of age (L. Pulkkinen et al. 1997. American Journal of Human Genetics 61:611–619); the child had healthy, unrelated parents. Chromosome analysis revealed that the infant had 46 normal-appearing chromosomes. Analysis of DNA showed that his mother was heterozygous for a JEB-causing allele at the LAMB3 locus, which is on chromosome 1. The father had two normal alleles at this locus. DNA fingerprinting demonstrated that the male assumed to be the father had, in fact, conceived the child. Q. Assuming that no new mutations occurred in this family, explain the presence of an autosomal recessive disease in the child…
