- What is chromosomal theory of inheritance? List the ways in which genes and chromosomes behave similarly during meiosis and fertilization. How is sex determined in humans? Which sex determines the sex of the offspring? What are the two types of mutations? What are the four types of changes in chromosomal structure? Why would you expect a monosomy to be more lethal than a trisomy?arrow_forward1a) Explain one autosomal pattern of Mendelian inheritance. 1b) Describe one example of a disorder caused by this pattern on inheritance.arrow_forwardRegarding Mendelian inheritance in diploid individuals, (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) a diploid individual receives two copies of every autosome from the previous generation. for every autosomal gene inherited by an individual, both copies can come from one parent. a diploid individual gives two copies of every autosome to a child in the next generation. to be diploid means that two independent genes are specified in the individual's genotype.arrow_forward
- In 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_forwardPart 1: Make a three part process drawing (like a cartoon strip) to demonstrate Mendel’s Principle of Segregation. Use two parents with homologous chromosomes marked with alleles “A” and “a”. Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes (indicate when this happens), and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring Part 2: Use the cross Aa x Aa and a Punnett square to demonstrate Mendel’s Principle of Segregation. Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring. Write the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.arrow_forwardPart 1: Make a three part process drawing (like a cartoon strip) to demonstrate Mendel's Principle of Segregation.

- O O c. A person who has a gene allele for a disorder with reduced penetrance (60%) that is transmittedin an autosomal dominant pattern and is usually expressed after age 30 has reached the age of 50 without any manifestations of the disorder. He now states that he wishes that he had decided to have children now that he knows he cannot pass the disorder on to any children he fathered. Is this man's thinking correct? Explain This person is not right because he can still pass the disorder to his offspring. Penetrance is the proportion of individuals carrying a particular variant (or allele) of a gene (the genotype) that also express an associated trait (the phenotype). The individual exhibits signs and symtoms of genetic disorder. He did not develop features of the disorder, the condition is said to have reduced (or incomplete) penetrance. He is a carrier of the allele for this disorder. As carrier he can give the genetic information to his child who could have a complete penetrance and…arrow_forwardWhat genetic criteria distinguish a case of extranuclear inheritance from (a) a case of Mendelian autosomal inheritance; (b) a case of X-linked inheritance?arrow_forwardD. In man, a certain type of deaf mutism is recessive. Let (D) be normal and (d) be deaf-mute. A normal, right-handed man married a normal, right-handed woman. They had a child who was a left-handed deaf-mute.arrow_forward
- Mutant female: yellow body and purple eyes. Male: Normal Use: https://www.sciencecourseware.org/FlyLabJS/ Which mutant alleles are dominant? Which mutant alleles are recessive? Which mutant alleles are sex-linked? Which mutant alleles are autosomal? Can you tell at this point if the two genes are linked? Show the results of the dihybrid analysis. Are genes segregating independently? What is the evidence for or against this? Show the crosses you will use to obtain the mapping data. For the mapping crosses, Write out the crossing scheme and make a table of the results (ignore sex in this table, combine the male and female progeny). Identify the parental classes and the recombinant classes. For a 3-point cross, identify the double cross overs. Show your calculations for the recombination frequencies between the three genes (for the 3-point cross) or the two genes (for the two-point crosses). Draw a map of the Drosophila chromosomes 2, 3, and X, including…arrow_forward. BRCA1 is a bi-allelic gene (let's call the two alleles as C and c) that is inherited on an autosome. The C allele is completely dominant over c, expressing breast cancer as a phenotype. Eye color is determined by two independently assorting bi-allelic genes, B (alleles B and b) and G (alleles G and g), such that the Ballele shows dominant epistasis over the G and g alleles. Brown-eyed individuals have at least one copy of the B allele, green eyed individuals have at least one G allele, while blue eyed individuals have neither B nor G. A blue-eyed person whą is a heterozygote carrier for the BRCA1 gene has 3 children with a brown-eyed person (heterozygote for both B and G genes) who does not have breast cancer. (a) What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of all their possible children? What are their respective probabilities of being observed (please write all genotype and phenotype probabilities)? (b) What is the probability that all three children will be blue-eyed and not…arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the difference between genetic maternal effect and cytoplasmic inheritance? O Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross express the phenotype of their mother's genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a genotype and phenotype of their mother. Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have a phenotype that reflects their own genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a genotype and phenotype with their mother. Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have the same genotype as their mother, while progeny from a Cytoplasmic Inheritance cross do not. There is no difference.arrow_forward
