Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Whether the statement ' the kidney cell and the heart cell of a cat contain same genes' is true or false.
Introduction:
The genes are unit of hereditary in the organisms. All the characteristics leading to the functioning of the body is influenced by the genes. In the eukaryotic cells, the genes are present in the nucleus.

- Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. Under what circumstances will this condition manifest in a child? Top of Form If the child is a male and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its father has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a male and its father has the recessive allelearrow_forwardIn 1967, a couple accused a hospital of switching their baby with another. DNA interpretation did not exist at this time so the hospital traced the blood types of the family in order to determine if a mistake was made. The mother had Type A blood, the father had Type AB blood, and the baby had Type O blood. Use the Punnett square to defend your answer to the following question: Did the hospital make a mistake and switch the baby? ____________arrow_forwardAll cells express the same genes. false truearrow_forward
- In Drosophila, the gene for red and white eye colour is found on the X chromosome. The allele for red eyes (XR) is dominant to the allele for white eyes (Xr). A heterozygous red-eyed female fruit fly was crossed with a white-eyed male fruit fly. Complete the following Punnett square for this cross.

Tay-Sachs Disease phenylketonuria Marfan syndromearrow_forwardHereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A man who had hemophilia (an X-linked recessive genetic disorder), married a woman who had no family history of hemophilia whatsoever. The couple had consulted a genetic counselor when they first contemplated having children due to concerns that their future children might have hemophilia. Genetic testing of both future parents revealed that the husband did, in fact, possess the Hemophilia A allele but his wife was completely normal with respect to hemophilia. Much to their shock, their first child, a daughter, had a mild blood clotting disorder. Karyotyping was performed to determine whether this daughter had an…arrow_forward

- Sickle cell anemia causes hemoglobin, the oxygen - carrying molecule of red blood cells, to be misshapen resulting in disease. "H" is the normal hemoglobin allele and "h" is the allele for sickle - cell shaped hemoglobin. In order to get the disease, a person must have a recessive genotype (hh). Two people with normal red blood cells are carriers of the gene - they have m genotypes Hh. Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the eggs the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotypic ration for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring? e.

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.
