Concept explainers

Stress

Stress is defined as the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with emotional or mental pressure. Any event or action that makes a person annoyed, furious, or nervous can trigger it. Chemical changes in the body caused by stress can cause blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and heart rate to rise.

A female homozygous for an X-linked allele can produce how many types of gametes with respect to that allele? c. A female heterozygous for an X-linked allele can produce how many types of gametes with respect to that allele?
An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
You have spent two decades studying a muscular dystrophy disorder. All previous pedigree data indicate this is an X-linked dominant trait, you notice that in one instance the trait skips one daughter coming from an effected father. If this disease is truly X-linked dominant, what is a likely explanation as to why it was not seen in this single female? O Only environmental conditions actually cause the disease O This disease may not be 100% penetrant for the disease O Skipping generations is common for X-linked dominant traits O The definition for X-linked dominant no longer means what it did when this disease was first discovered O This disease must not actually be X-linked dominant
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disorder caused by a rare,loss-of-function allele that is located on the X chromosome in humans. Anunaffected woman (i.e., without disease symptoms) who is heterozygousfor the X-linked allele causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy has childrenwith a man with a functional (non-disease-causing) allele. What is theprobability that this couple will have an unaffected son?
The following pedigree is for a disease that is completely penetrant. For this question,do not make any assumptions of whether the disease is rare or common in the general population. Khich ƠNE of these modes is NOT possible? T O autosomal dominant X-linked dominant O autosomal recessive O X-linked recessive
Could the pedigree in Figure 2-31 be explained as an autosomal dominant disorder? Explain.
A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) is born to a motherwho is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X-linkedskin condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The mother’sskin is completely normal with no signs of the skin abnormality.In contrast, her son has patches of normal skin and patchesof abnormal skin. Question: Which parent contributed the abnormal gamete?
Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflictedwith the disease Haemophilia are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passingon the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbolabove) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family. Turner syndrome is a disease in which an individual is bornwith only a single X chromosome. Suppose the woman in thecouple is a carrier for hemophilia and has a child with Turnersyndrome. Would this child have the disease?
X-linked ichthyosis is an X-linked recessive trait that manifests in part as dry, scaly skin (“ichthy-” = fish or fish like). Suppose a couple are considering having a child together. Parent A is heterozygous for the ichthyosis allele while Parent B is hemizygous negative for the ichthyosis allele. What is the probability their child would be unafflicted with ichthyosis but be a carrier of the ichthyosis-causing allele? a.0% b.25% c.50% d.75% e.100%

The X-linked gene responsible for DMD encodes a protein called dystrophin that is required for muscle function. Dystrophin protein is not secreted—it remains inthe cells that produce it. Given what you know aboutBarr body formation, do you think that females heterozygous for the recessive DMD disease allele could havethe disease in some parts of their bodies and not others?
In this pedigree, affected individuals have a disease causing the inability to walk forward, called Disease J. Assume all individuals whose alleles cannot be determined do not carry the allele for the disease (are not heterozygous). How is Disease Jinherited?
