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.

Why does the lethal dominant allele of Huntington’s disease stay in the gene pool?
Huntington disease is a rare dominant disorder that causes neurodegeneration later in life. In a homozygous state, the dominant allele is lethal. A man in his thirties, who already has three children, discovers that his mother has Huntington disease though his father is unaffected. What are the following probabilities? a) The man in his thirties will develop Huntington disease. b) His first child will develop Huntington disease. c) Any one out of three of his children will develop Huntington disease.
For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. For epilepsy, the concordance values are 72% for monozygotic twins and 15% for dizygotic twins. 1) Is this a single gene inheritance or multifactorial disease? 2) Is there a strong genetic or environmental cause to the development of this disease? If both genetic and environmental causes are implicated, you have to indicate each of them separately.
