Summary Introduction
To explain:
The term used to describe the inheritance pattern of SRY alleles.
Introduction:
Y-linked inheritance pattern is the inheritance of genes on the Y chromosome. Only males have Y chromosomes. The genes are passed from father to sons. The SRY gene produces the “male

18) Mendel's Second Law of inheritance states that, "during gamete formation the segregation
of each gene pair is independent of other pairs." How do the diagrams above prove this
law? (AC 2.4).

- There are some genes where the phenotype of an individual is dependent on the mother's genotype. These are called maternal genes. Find some examples. Why is the mother's genotype more important?arrow_forwardWhat do you mean by homozygous condition for a gene?arrow_forwardWhich gene is inherited from the mother only?arrow_forward
- A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and wife, who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the disease, decide to have a child. Because both parents are carriers of the disease, each has one dominant normal-cell allele (S) and one recessive sickle-cell allele (s). Therefore, the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely. Complete parts a) through c) below. a) Genes are always written with the dominant gene first. Therefore, there are two instances the offspring could have genotype Ss (one if the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the non-dominant allele; and one if the father contributes the dominant allele and the mother contributes the non-dominant allele). List the other two possible genotypes of the offspring. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)arrow_forwardIn genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Homozygous; two dominant alleles (Choice B) B Homozygous; two recessive alleles (Choice C) C Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Choice D) D Homozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allelearrow_forwardIn humans, normal skin color (A) is dominant over albino (a). An albino man marries a normal woman whose mother was an albino and whose father has normal skin color. What is the genotype of the man and the woman? What proportion of their children would be expected to be both normal skin pigmentation and have the trait for albino?arrow_forward
- What does Germline DNA refers to?arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardIf someone is heterozygous for a particular gene, what specifically is different about each copy of the gene?arrow_forward
- Can a person’s genotype be determined by their phenotype? Why or why not?arrow_forwardIn humans, Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele on chromosomes 7. A person must inherit two of these alleles to have the disease. What are the chances of a child having the disease if both of the parents are heterozygous?arrow_forwardIn humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?arrow_forward
