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.♂ ♀

- Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?arrow_forwardA RFLP is discovered that is linked to the gene for Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is an X-linked, recessive trait. The RFLP is 2 map units from the gene for DMD. Consider the following pedigree and Southern blot using a probe that hybridizes to the RFLP. Which band/s is/are associated with DMD? What is the genotype for individuals 3 and 4? (Remember, this is an X linked disease, so use X’s and Y’s to denote). Individual 9 married a man who does NOT have muscular dystrophy, and she is pregnant. DMD is an X-linked trait. What is the probability for their child to have DMD? An amniocentesis is performed and it is determined that 9’s child in utero has only a 10 kb band that hybridizes to the same probe used above. What can you say about the child now?arrow_forwardPlease answer both questions in detail. Correct answers are highlighted.arrow_forward

- In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?arrow_forward1)se; 12 cM 2)h; 12 cM 3)g; 8 cM 4)se; 8 cMarrow_forwardhello could you please answer these questions and explain to me the reasons of the answersarrow_forward
