Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Heterozygote advantage is an interesting condition in those individuals who have one of each allele (dominant and recessive) have a higher survival rate than those individuals who are either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. Sickle-cell anemia is such a genetic disease associated with the recessive allele. Normal homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infected with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become very ill from the parasite and many die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the genetic defect. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling of red blood cells, but generally not enough to cause mortality. In addition, malaria cannot survive well within these "partially defective" red blood cells. Thus, heterozygotes tend to…

Tay-Sachs is a recessive lethal disease in which thereis neurological deterioration early in life. This diseaseis rare in the population overall but is found at relatively high frequency in Ashkenazi Jews from EasternEurope. A woman whose maternal uncle had the disease is trying to determine the probability that sheand her husband could have an affected child. Her father does not come from a high-risk population. Herhusband’s sister died of the disease at an early age.a. Draw the pedigree of the individuals described.Include the genotypes where possible.b. Determine the probability that the couple’s firstchild will be affected.

B. 25% if both parents are heterozygous OC. 50% if both parents are heterozygous OD. 25% if only the father is heterozygous OE. 25% if only the mother is heterozygous
You breed two black dogs. It results in 3 offspring, the first which is black, the second which is brown, and the third which is white. Give two genetic explanations as to what could cause their fur color. Make sure each explanation includes two genes and follows along with the provided data. Also, explain the genotype of each color of dog and a ratio of the F2 phenotypes you would expect to see from a dihybrid cross. After you're finished, pick one of the explanations and create a hypothesis for the function of each gene which would explain the molecular basis of the fur color Finally, for each of the two genes, explain how a specific functional difference between the two alleles leads to a difference in their functions
