Chapter 2, Problem 44P
Situs inversus is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed from their nor-mal positions. Investigations into the genetics of this abnormality revealed that individuals with at least one dominant allele (SI) of an autosomal gene are normal but, surprisingly, of individuals that are homozygous for a recessive allele (si),
a. What genotypes and
b. What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in prog-eny from a cross of two SI si individuals?

In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?
a) Which of the four modes of inheritance are consistent with the disease shown in this human pedigrees below? (List the compatible mode or modes) Give an answer for a, b and c
b) If the parents in pedigree c have 2 other children, what is the probability that they will carry the disease?
Hypophoshatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by deficiency of pho[hates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children.
a.) Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Explain
b.) Draw a Punnett square to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios

- While studying of the family tree with history of hypertrichosis (hyper hirsutism of the ear) this sign was founded only in the men and it was inherited from father to the son. Define the type of hypertrichosis inheritance? Select one: a. Y-linked b. Autosomal-recessive O c. Autosomal-dominant d. Recessive, X-linked e. Dominant, X-linkedarrow_forward1. In the pedigree below, Use "A" for the allele associated with the dominant phenotype, and lowercase "a" for the allele associated with the recessive phenotype. Determine what is the most likely mode of inheritance of this disease (whether it is inherited as the result of an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait). Write the most probable genotype for each individual based on the mode of inheritance you have determined.

- 1. A) Apply the concept of sex linkage to explain why color blindness is more prevalent in men than in women. B) Mary is concerned that she may be a carrier for hemophilia, a sex-linked condition located on the X chromosome. Mary is married to John, who doesn't have hemophilia. Assuming Mary is a carrier, what are the genotype ratios expected for Mary and John's kids (specify for boys and for girls)? C) Mary and John have 2 boys, none of them has hemophilia. Can we use this fact as proof that Mary does not carry the allele for hemophilia? Explain your argument.arrow_forwardTuberous Sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by seizures, mental retardation, autism, and benign tumors of the brain, heart, skin, and kidneys. The kidney tumors can also be malignant. This disease exhibits a wide range of severity, and only about 1/3 of the cases are inherited. Two different genes have been tightly linked to the disease in families where it is inherited. The remaining 2/3 appear to be due to mutations in one of the 2 genes as well. Overall it appears that 1/2 are caused by mutations in TSC1 and the other half by mutations in TSC2. A rat model for hereditary renal carcinoma (kidney cancer) has been found. Southern and Northern blot analysis of the TSC1 and TSC2 gene revealed no differences between these rats and normal rats. Not all the rats in the strain would get cancer but a significant proportion did and those were selected for and used in experiments. 1. a) What was detected by the Southern blots?

- Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans characterized by small teeth, no sweat glands, and sparse body hair. This trait is usually seen in men, but women who are heterozygous carriers of the trait often have irregular patches of skin with few or no sweat glands (see the illustration below). a. Explain why women who are heterozygous carriers of a recessive gene for anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have irregular patches of skin lacking sweat glands. b. Why does the distribution of the patches of skin lacking sweat glands differ among the females depicted in the illustration, even between the identical twins?arrow_forward12. A. B. C.

If two people who are heterozygous for migraines marry and have children, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of the children.arrow_forward3) Achondroplasia is a common form of hereditary dwarfism that causes very short limbs, stubby hands, and an enlarged forehead.
