Textbook Question
Chapter 11.3, Problem 1CSC
Sudden Death on the court
Many traits, in humans and other organisms, are inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion. Marfan syndrome, for example, is inherited as a dominant trait, which means that a single defective fibrillin allele is enough to cause the disorder. Flo Hyman inherited her defective allele from her father. Are all genetically determined traits inherited according to the straightforward patterns worked out by Gregor Mendel? Well return to this question in Section 11.5.

- Jekyll-Hyde Afflicted Spider Curse Afflicted Jekyll-Hyde/Spider Curse I O Human 1 II 1 III 4. Jekyll-Hyde disease is characterized by transformation into an unfeeling, aggressive, alter ego at night. While the "Spider Curse" is a disease that causes affected individuals to grow extra arms and extra eyes during a full moon. The genes responsible for these diseases sort independently and both traits run in one family. Based on the above pedigree answer the following questions: What is the mode of inheritance for Jekyll-Hyde disease? (Hint: look at individuals III-1 & III-3) O a. Autosomal Dominant O b. Autosomal Recessive O c. X-Linked Dominant O d. X-linked Recessive What evidence supports your hypothesis? Give at least 2 pieces of information from the pedigree that support your answer to 3a. Answer: 2. 3. 2. 2.arrow_forwardA couple enters your genetic counseling clinic for some family planning advice. The woman’s father was color blind, but her own vision is normal. The man has no family history of color blindness. Neither the man nor woman have any known history of hemophilia, but their first child (a boy) has hemophilia. They ask you to calculate the chance that their nextchild will be affected by one or both conditions. You remember from your genetics training that these are both X-linked recessive conditions and that they are closely linked: in fact, their genetic loci are separated by only 10cM! During the interview with this couple, you draw the following pedigree to represent their information. Given what you know, determine for this couple what chance they have of each of the following (in the table).arrow_forwardThis question will test your Mendelian genetics knowledge! On a piece of paper, construct TWO Punnett squares (set up both of your Punnett squares like the example square provided below). In this classic Mendelian genetics cross, you will start with a female cat from a PURE BREEDING brown furred population. You mate this female with a male cat selected from a PURE BREEDING yellow furred population. BROWN fur is the dominant allele. In your first Punnett square, show the P generation cross, with the F1 generation results. Be sure to label this as your P generation cross! Use the correct genotype symbols, as used in standard dominant / recessive allele systems, to show all genotypes. In your second Punnett square, do a monohybrid cross of the F1 generation, to show the expected F2 generation results. Be sure to use the correct genotype symbols. Next to BOTH of your Punnett Squares, write out the expected genotype and phenotype ratios for the offspring generations. Use the TERMS used to…arrow_forward
- I'm having trouble with my genetics study guide, and am stuck on this question. If someone could explain it with the work it would help me so much. Thank you! In humans, the inheritance of the ABO blood group system exhibits both complete dominance (alleles IA and IB are dominant to allele i) and codominance (alleles IA and IB). In addition, thalassemia shows incomplete dominance; heterozygotes (Tt) exhibit a mild form of the disease (thalassemia minor) and homozygotes (tt) have a more severe form (thalassemia major). A man has blood type A and his mother has blood type O. His wife has blood type AB. Both members of the couple have thalassemia minor. What is the probability that they will have a child with: a. thalassemia minor and blood type A? b. no anemia and blood type AB? c. thalassemia major and blood type B?arrow_forwardWhich of the following terms means many genes? polymorphism polygeny polypeptide multiple allelesarrow_forwardPlease draw it out so I understand how it's suppose to be drawnarrow_forward

Individuals affected by Canavan disease experience lack of motor development, abnormal muscle tone, and difficulty feeding. Most individuals affected by this disease die before the age of 10. In a particular population in Canada, researchers examined 250 people for Canavan disease and found that 45 of them had the disorder. a) What is the frequency of Canavan disease in the population examined by the researchers? Show all your work. Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. b) What is the frequency of the Canavan disease carriers in the population examined by the researchers?
