Chapter 1, Problem 15P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The new point mutation that might arise in the child, which is not predicted in any of the parent.
Introduction: The most common cause of evolution is mutation. Mutation can arise either in the single base pair, or it can cover a short segment. The resulting changes can be advantageous or can be harmful to the one possessing the mutations.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The parent in which the mutation might have arisen.
Introduction: The change in the genetic sequence of codons might result in the formation of a new protein or no protein at all. The change can be followed to the next generation even.

- An STR on chromosome 5 is very closely linked to a gene involved in a dominant metabolism disorder (one one copy of the mutation causes the disease). There are four different alleles of the STR (Q, B, S, and L), each with different numbers of GATCTCG repeats. The S allele has 2 repeats, the B allele has 7 repeats, the Q allele has 10 repeats, and the L allele has 5 repeats. Part 1 Lane 1 of the gel shown below indicates the locations of PCR products corresponding to all four STR alleles when run together in one lane. DNA was loaded into the wells at the top of the gel. Move the letter of each allele to its correct position at the left of Lane 1 to indicate where each allele runs on the gel. 0000 Gabriel Andre Lane 1 O Maria Andre Maria Juliana B L Part 2 Andre and Maria are the parents in this family; all others shown on the gel are children.

However, in familial Down syndrome, all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21. Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a man who carries no aneuploidies. Match the description of the chromosomes inherited by each zygote with the viability and phenotype of the zygote. ✓ Two normal copies of 14, two normal copies of 21 two normal copies of 21, one normal copy of 14 ✓one normal copy of 14, one 21 to 14 translocation, one normal copy of 21 ✓two normal copies of 14, one normal copy of 21, on 21 to 14…arrow_forwardCystic fibrosis is a recessive disease that affects many parts of the body, but primarily presents itself through difficulty breathing and through cysts in the pancreas.

- The Hemoglobin gene has two very common alleles: HbS and HbA. Bob’s professor asks him to draw the chromosomes for an individual that is HbSHbA and label the alleles. Bob draws this (below). Explain why Bob is wrong and then draw it correctly. FOXP2 is a gene in humans; humans that have mutated copies of FOXP2 often have trouble speaking. It is on Chromosome 7, which is about 160 million base pairs long. FOXP2 is at position 115 million base pairs. Which of the drawings below appropriately diagrams the location of FOXP2? Why?arrow_forwardIn humans, chromosome 16 sometimes has a heavily stained area near the centromere. This feature can be seen in a microscope, but otherwise has no effect on the phenotype of the person carrying it. When such a “blob" exists on a given copy of chromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome and is inherited. A couple conceived a child, but the fetus had multiple abnormalities and was miscarried. e.g., The fetus had three copies of chromosome 16, where 2 of the 3 copies of chromosome 16 had large blobs. Both of the mother's copies of chromosome 16 lacked blobs, but the father was heterozygous for blobs. The fetus was formed from a fertilization event that included a gamete produced by the in which nondisjunction occurred during the meiotic division. Select an answer and submit.

It is a central nervous system neurodegenerative disease that most often affects infants, though older children and adults can have late-onset forms of the disease. The defective gene prevents the body from making a protein called hexosaminidase A. Without, hexosaminidase A, chemicals called gangliosides build up in the nerve cells of the brain, destroying brain cells. Pedigree information regarding the incidence of Tay-Sachs within a family is depicted above. The row below that indicates the genotypes of individuals II-1, II-2, and III-1 is Select one: a.

- In humans, chromosome 16 sometimes has a heavily stained area in the long arm near the centromere. This feature can be seen through the microscope but has no effect on the phenotype of the person carrying it. When such a “blob” exists on a particular copy of chromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome and is inherited. A couple conceived a child, but the fetus had multiple abnormalities and was miscarried. When the chromosomes of the fetus were studied, it was discovered that it had three copies of chromosome 16 (it was trisomic for chromosome 16), and that two of the three chromosome 16s had large blobs. Both chromosome 16 homologs in the mother lacked blobs, but the father was heterozygous for blobs. Which parent experienced nondisjunction, and in which meiotic division did it occur?arrow_forwardA cell has two pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, which we will call chromosomes Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb (chromosomes Ia and Ib are homologs, and chromosomes IIa and IIb are homologs). Allele M is located on the long arm of chromosome Ia, and allele m is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele P is located on the short arm of chromosome Ia, and allele p is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele R is located on chromosome IIa and allele r is located at the same position on chromosome IIb.a. Draw these chromosomes, identifying genes M, m, P, p, R, and r, as they might appear in metaphase I of meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.b. Taking into consideration the random separation of chromosomes in anaphase I, draw the chromosomes (with genes identified) present in all possible types of gametes that might result from this cell’s undergoing meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.arrow_forwardRice has a chromosome number of 2n = 24.
