In Figure 3-20, what color is used to denote cytoplasmcontaining wild-type mitochondria?
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a point mutation which alters the
shape of erythrocytes. Individuals with two normal alleles have
normal erythrocytes, individuals with two mutated alleles have
C-shaped erythrocytes and experience anemia. Heterozygous
individuals produce both types of erythrocytes and experience
protection from the parasite that causes malaria. If a anemic
man and a normal woman have children, what percentage of the
offspring are expected to be protected from malaria?

- In the small intestine, stem cells in the crypts divide asymmetrically to maintain the population of cells that make up the villi; after each division, one daughter remains a stem cell and the other begins to divide rapidly to produce differentiated progeny.Explain why or why 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_forwardThe following pedigree shows the inheritance of a mutation that causes the mitochondrial disease MERFF.

- The aldose gene is 10 map units from the fructose gene. (A = dominant allele, can produce aldose; a = recessive allele, cannot produce aldose; F = dominant allele, can produce fructose; f = recessive allele, cannot produce fructose). You cross worms with the chromosomes shown below. What is the probability that offspring will be able to produce only aldose (and not fructose)?

You cross apurple (ad-) strain of mating type a and a white (ad+)strain of mating type α.

- In rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.arrow_forwardAcatalasia is caused by a rare autosomal recessive gene. In heterozygous condition catalase activity is decreased slightly. A woman with a normal catalase activity have a husband with low catalase activity. What is the probability of children birth without anomaly in the family, if grandparents from both sides have reduced activity of catalase? Diagram the cross and mention the genotypes of all individuals in the family?arrow_forwardThis pedigree depicts the inheritance of the mitochondrial disease Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
