Question
Chapter 7, Problem 13AQP
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
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
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.

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
