Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 33P
Three independently assorting VNTR markers are used to assess the paternity of a colt (C) recently born to a quarter horse mare (M). Blood samples are drawn from the mare, her colt, and three possible male sires (
Evaluate the data and determine if any of the potential sires can be excluded. Explain the basis of exclusion, if any, in each case.

A RFLP is discovered that is linked to the gene for Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is an X-linked, recessive trait. The RFLP is 2 map units from the gene for DMD. Consider the following pedigree and Southern blot using a probe that hybridizes to the RFLP.
Which band/s is/are associated with DMD?
What is the genotype for individuals 3 and 4? (Remember, this is an X linked disease, so use X’s and Y’s to denote).
Individual 9 married a man who does NOT have muscular dystrophy, and she is pregnant. DMD is an X-linked trait. What is the probability for their child to have DMD?
An amniocentesis is performed and it is determined that 9’s child in utero has only a 10 kb band that hybridizes to the same probe used above. What can you say about the child now?
Draw a flowchart (explaining all steps in it) for Heidelberg screening to identify the maternal and zygotic genes. (Please keep the flowchart original)
ISSR is generally a dominant STS DNA marker. Nonetheless, with validated experimental evidence (e.g. laboratory and population genetics data), the marker can be used in codominance marker genotyping. Briefly explain each case below:
a) Codominant marker targets specific locus and reveals allelic variations in that locus among DNA samples.
b) Dominant marker: primers can complement other repeat sequences or in multiple loci thereby non-specificity in sampled genomes.
