Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 30P
Now consider a mating between consanguineous people involving a recessive genetic disease. The figures that follow show the genotypes of these two people at four SNP loci (1–4).
| a. | For which of these loci is it possible to obtain information about the linkage of the SNP to the disease gene? Explain your answer for each locus and describe any special conditions that may apply. |
| b. | For any of the loci for which the mating is potentially informative, how would you tell whether the child is the product of a recombinant or non recombinant gamete? (That is, how could you solve the phase problem?) Be as specific as possible. |

Problem 1 (Mental Health): The survivor victim is dealing with acute stress and symptoms of a
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to their traumatic experience during the January 2025 wildfire.
Goal 1: To alleviate the client's overall level, frequency, and intensity of
anxiety and PTSD symptoms so that daily functioning remains
unimpaired.
Objective 1: The client will learn and regularly use at least two anxieties
management techniques to reduce anxiety symptoms to less than three episodes per week.
Intervention 1: The therapist will provide psychoeducation about anxiety and
PTSD, including their symptoms and triggers. The therapist will also teach and assist the client in adopting relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation, to better manage anxiety and lessen PTSD symptoms.
