Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The results of DNA analysis for the paternity test is given below:

With the help of this diagram, analyze which male, 1 or 2 is the father of the three puppies, (P1, P2 and P3). The female is represented as ♀A in the diagram.

Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach (2nd Edition), Chapter 10, Problem 30P

Introduction:

In all sexually reproducing animals, the identification of paternity can be made by DNA analysis. An offspring receives exactly one-half of the genes from the male and half from the female. Genetic testing can be used to reveal that one-half of the genetic markers in the male match those of their children. Genetic markers that are not maternal should have come from the paternal side. To identify paternity, every nonmaternal marker carried by the offspring must be carried by their female.♂ ♀

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease. What are the probabilities that their other children will develop the disease?  Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion
