Identification of the genetic cause of hornlessness in cattle has been the subject of intensive genetic and genomic research, culminating in the nomination of two different candidate neomutations on cattle chromosome 1 that are predicted to have arisen 500-1,000 years ago: a complex allele of Friesian origin (PF), an 80,128 base pair (bp) duplication (1909352–1989480 bp), and a second, simple allele of Celtic origin (PC) corresponding to a duplication of 212 bp (chromosome 1 positions 1705834–1706045) in place of a 10-bp deletion (1706051–1706060)We report the use of genome editing using transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) to introgress the putative PC POLLED allele into the genome of bovine embryo fibroblasts to try and produce a genotype identical to what is achievable using natural mating, but without the attendant genetic drag and admixture. In our previous studies, we…
A normal appearing female infant was identified with a positive newborn screen, linked to chromosome 12. Few years ago, her older sibling had
developed profound hypoglycemia, liver failure leading to coma, and subsequent irreparable brain damage, following a viral illness. The sibling was
subsequently shown by clinical testing to have the same disorder that this female infant is screened positive for.
a. What is the most likely diagnosis?
b. What biomarkers would confirm this on the newborn screening process? Describe the mechanism that causes this metabolic defect.
Question 7
Which of the following is inconsistent (not consistent) with inheritance of a maternal effect trait?
A) Progeny from the same parents have the same maternal effect phenotype as each other but not their mother.
B) Progeny can show a recessive phenotype even though the progeny have dominant genotypes.
C) Both parents contribute recessive alleles to an offspring yet it has a dominant phenotype for the maternal effect trait.
D) Progeny from the same parents have different traits related to the maternal effect gene in question.

- Please answer all parts along with the reason. I'll definitely give a like. Thank you in advance! 1A) From the cross Ab/aB x ab/ab, what is the recombination frequency if the progeny numbers are 17 AB/ab, 72 Ab/ab, 68 aB/ab, and 21 ab/ab? 1B)In human gene mapping, a LOD score is calculated to see if a gene causing a rare disease is linked to a known SNP. The LOD score is -4. This means that 1C) A three-point testcross is used to determine the order of three linked genes. The following crossover progeny result: single crossovers, double crossovers, and no crossovers. To determine the order, the no-crossover progeny must be compared to what other class of progeny?arrow_forwardFamilial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?arrow_forwardThe Klinefelter syndrome (disomy of the X chromosome in males) is a genetic disease caused by aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes in humans.

- The DNA of every individual in the pedigree shown below has been sequenced at the causative locus. All the non-shaded individuals are wild type apart from III.1. III.1 has been proven to have the causative mutation for this autosomal dominant condition, but they exhibit no symptoms. Based on this small pedigree, what is the level of penetrance for the condition? Please give your answer as a WHOLE percentage, give the number only, no percentage symbol.

- The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has about 2 x 10^8 base pairs of DNA per haploid genome, of which about 75% in nonrepeated DNA. The DNA is distributed among four pairs of homologous chromosomes, which have a total of about 5,000 visible bands when in polytene forms in the salivary gland. The number of genes initially estimated from mutational studies was also about 5,000 but recent DNA sequencing studies suggest that the gene number may be somewhat higher. a. Why was it tempting to speculate that each band corresponds to a single gene? What does this suggest about the number of different proteins Drosophila can make? Does that seem like a reasonable number to you? b. Assuming all the nonrepeated DNA is uniformly distributed in the chromosomes, how much nonrepeated DNA (in base pairs) is there in average band?arrow_forwardSuppose a man carries a very uncommon dominant mutation for a deadly muscular disease that doesn't show up until people are usually over 50 years of age (he has the disease). He and his wife are expecting their first child--a girl. What is the probability she will also have the disease if...

Assume the penetrance of the trait is 100%.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the genes ct(cut wing margin), y (yellow body), and v (vermilion eye color) are X-linked. Females heterozygous for all three markers were mated with wildtype males and the following male progeny were obtained. As is conventional in Drosophila genetics, the wild-type allele of each gene is designated by a “+” sign in the appropriate column. Use the data to (A) create a genetic map of the genes, (B) calculate interference, and (C) interpret the value of interference. Show your work.arrow_forward
