The results of DNA analysis for the paternity test is given below:
With the help of this diagram, analyze which male,
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.♂ ♀

GENETIC ANALYSIS: AN INTEG. APP. W/MAS
- 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_forwardCan you please not type the answer can you write it on a paperarrow_forwardMrs Mumba delivered a baby girl in a certain hospital. Mrs Mumba has blood group O and the father to the girl has blood group AB. Mrs Mumba sues the hospital for giving her a wrong baby whose blood group was 0. (a) Explain using a genetic diagram why Mrs Mumba would win or lose the case. (b) What could have been the correct genotype of the actual father?arrow_forward
- A man of blood group A is being sued by a woman of blood group B for paternity. The women’s child is blood group O. A) Is this man the father of this child? Explain. B) If this man actually is the father of this child, specify the genotypes of both parents. C.) If it was impossible for this group A man to be the father of a type O child, regardless of the mother’s genotype, specify his genotype. D.) If a man was blood group AB, could he be the father of a group O child? Why/why not?arrow_forwardAssignment 1 A pure strain of Mendel's peas, dominant for all seven of his independently assorting genes, was testcrossed. a) How many different kinds of gametes could each of the parents produce? b) How many different gametes could the F, produce? Assignments Assignment 1 c) If the F, was testcrossed, how many phenotypes would be expected in the offspring and in what proportion? d) How many genotypes would be expected in the F,?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_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_forwardThe genotype of EB27 and EB67 are unknown. Based on pedigree, what are the most likely genotype of each individual?arrow_forwardI need help please with answerarrow_forward
