a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether the pattern of baldness will show independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness if the pattern of baldness is sex influenced

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If pattern of baldness is considered as sex-influenced trait, then the genes responsible for baldness must be present on autosomal chromosomes. Thus, the pattern of baldness would independently assort from genetic marker on X chromosomes.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether the pattern of baldness will show independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness, if the pattern of baldness is X-linked recessive.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If the pattern of baldness is X-linked recessive trait, then the genes of baldness will be present on X chromosomes only. If the genes of baldness and genetic markers are present in close proximity on X chromosome, then they will not assort independently. If they lie far apart, then they will be assorted easily.

Conclusion

Independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness depends upon weather the pattern of baldness gene is sex-linked or X linked gene.

If PCR was performed on the fragment of DNA shown below using "5'-TAGG-3" and "3'-TCTA-5'" as the primers, how many base pairs long would the PCR product be? To help with this, remember the antiparallel structure of DNA and that primers are complementary and antiparallel to the target sequence that they bind to.
