Textbook Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 1ET
Envision yourself as a physician. A mother, father, and their daughter come to you because the daughter is 16 years old and hasn’t had her first menstrual cycle, whereas all of her girlfriends started menstruating years ago. You do a Karyotype and that she is XY. Further molecular genetic testing reveals that she has a mutated androgen receptor allele on her X chromosome. The parents want to know how their daughter inherited the syndrome, why they don't have it and. If they were to have other children. If they would be androgen insensitive. How would you explain, in terms understandable to a layperson, the inheritance of androgen insensitivity and the likelihood that the parents would have another child with androgen insensitivity syndrome? Include diagrams to help them understand.

- (x-linked genes q8) Please answer this question for mearrow_forwardWhy are X-linked conditions more common in men than in women? Group of answer choices 1. men acquire two copies of the defective gene during fertilization. 2. men need to inherit only one copy of the recessive allele for the condition to be fully expressed. 3. the sex chromosomes are more active in men than in women. 4. the genes associated with the sex-linked conditions are linked to the Y chromosome, which determines maleness.arrow_forwardis C correct? because females can also inherit x-linked traits, they won’t express it but they’ll be carriers right?arrow_forward

These moles are usually made up ofXX diploid cells, although some can be XY diploids.Surprisingly, all of the DNA in the nuclei of the cellsin the mole is paternal in origin. Most hydatiformmoles are benign, but because they sometimes candevelop into cancers, these moles should be removedsurgically when they are detected.a. What kinds of events could lead to the generationof a hydatiform mole?b. Hydatiform moles are diploid cells with the normalnumbers of genes and chromosomes. Why do youthink they develop as undifferentiated tissues ratherthan as normal embryos?arrow_forwardSUBJECT-GENETICS TOPIC: Inheritance Related to Sex Identify some form of abnormalities wherein it could be due to the presence of gene in: X chromosome only b) Y chromosome only ?
