Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 5CAL
Ashley is a 29-year-old pregnant woman who is in the second trimester of her pregnancy. At her regular OB/GYN checkup, the doctor records the following about Ashley:
Heart rate: 92
Urinalysis: Negative for bacteria and protein in urine
Weight gain since beginning of pregnancy: 15 pounds
Blood pressure: 115/79 mm Hg
Uterine fundus height: At a midpoint between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process of the sternum
Blood glucose level: 95
5. As Ashley cares for her son, she notices some problems in his development. During one of the baby’s checkups. Ashley voices her concerns to the pediatrician. The pediatrician performs a series of assessments on the baby and orders a genetic workup. The genetic test results demonstrate that the baby has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is an X-linked recessive trait.
Based on your knowledge of heredity, if the baby boy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, then what else must be true?
- a. The baby’s father is a carrier of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy allele and passed along this trait to the baby.
- b. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an autosomal-dominant disorder.
- c. Ashley is a carrier of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy allele but does not display symptoms because she has two X chromosomes, one of which is normal.
- d. If Ashley had a baby girl (instead of a baby boy), the baby girl would be at equal risk for having Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

(You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.) Data Table 1Stage Totals PercentInterphase Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Totals 100 100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…arrow_forward
