Genomic imprinting, where gene expression is based on the sex of the transmitting parent, demonstrates which of the following? O ex-linkage Epigenetics O Pleiotropy O Epistasis
A couple well informed about the epigenetic effects of nutritionand dietary supplements such as choline and folatedecided to take supplements before trying to get pregnant.Their first child was born with hair and eye colors very differentfrom the parents and has been consistently praised by teachersfor learning ability and memory. The couple attributes these characteristicsto their intake of epigenetic supplements. Now theywish to have another child and have informed their physician thatthey intend to greatly increase the amount of supplements theytake to increase the epigenetic effects in their child. The physiciancautioned them that studies available in human trials showno effect of choline on learning and that excess intake of folateduring pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk ofautism spectrum disorder in the child. The couple is convincedthat these studies are not conclusive, and while more research isneeded, they intend to pursue their plan of increasing their…

Effect of Paternal Grandmothers Food Supply on Infant Mortality Researchers are investigating long- reaching epigenetic effects of starvation, in part because historical data on periods of famine are widely available. Before the industrial revolution, a failed harvest in one autumn typically led to severe food shortages the following winter. A retrospective study has correlated female infant mortality at certain ages with the abundance of food during the paternal grandmothers childhood. FIGURE 10.12 shows some of the results of this study. FIGURE 10.12 Graph showing the relative risk of early death of a female child, correlated with the age at which her paternal grandmother experienced a winter with a food supply that was scarce (blue) or abundant (red) during childhood. The dotted line represents no difference in risk of morality. A value above the line means an increases risk; one below the line indicates a reduced risk. 1. Compare the mortality of girls whose paternal grandmothers ate well at age 2 with that of those who experienced famine at the same age. Which girl was more likely to die early? How much more likely was she to die?

There was no correlation between early death of a male child and eating habits of his paternal grandmother, hut there was a strong correlation with the eating habits of his paternal grandfather. What does this tell you about the probable location of epigenetic changes that gave rise to these data?
Vhich statement best explains why so many variations in coat colors exist? O Each coat color is the result of mutations that take place after the horse is born. The recombination of genes during meiosis results in offspring that exhibit a variety of coat colors. O Varying gene expression after fertilization leads to a variety of coat colors. O Recombination during mitosis leads to the expression of different coat colors as the horse develops.
hat is TRUE about the gene drive system? The gene drive system sterilizes both sexes. The gene drive system uses Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) to repair DNA. The gene drive system ensures (close to) 100% inheritance. O The gene drive system only works if both chromosomes have a gene drive cassette.
A rare dominant mutation expressed at birth was studiedin humans. Records showed that six cases were discoveredin 40,000 live births. Family histories revealed that in twocases, the mutation was already present in one of the parents.Calculate the spontaneous mutation rate for this mutation.What are some underlying assumptions that may affect ourconclusions?

The color in Labrador retrievers is an example of epistasis. The two alleles for the pigment gene are: (B) for black coat and its recessive counterpart (b) for chocolate coat. A different autosomal gene affects the expression of color in the coat and has two alleles, (E), which allows the expression of color, and (e), which is epistatic and blocks the expression of the B/b gene. The epistatic allele is recessive and is only expressed as a yellow color in the homozygous condition (ee), regardless of the B and b genotypes. A completely homozygous black lab was mated to a yellow lab, homozygous for the chocolate allele. Their offspring will be the F1…
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits Suppose a couple, both phenotypically normal, have two children: one unaffected daughter and one son affected with a genetic disorder. The phenotype ratio is 1:1, making it difficult to determine whether the trait is autosomal or X-linked. With your knowledge of genetics, what are the genotypes of the parents and children in the autosomal case? In the X-linked case?
