A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 progeny are then crossed with banded, yellow snails in a testcross. Predict the percentage of progeny in each phenotype if the two genes are linked with no recombination, if the two genes assort independently, and if the genes are 20 m.u. apart. Place the percentage for each phenotype for each of the scenarios in the table. Percentages can be used more than once.

Question 3 ) Listen Becker muscular dystrophy is due to a mutation in the same gene that causes the more severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This is an X linked recessive condition that causes muscular weakness that begins and a later age and progresses more slowly than Duchenne muscular dystrophy which is often lethal by age 20. One of my former students had a father who had this condition. She did not have the condition. If she has children with a male who does not have the condition, what is the chance that any daughters she would have would have the condition? 100 % 75% O 50% O 25% 0%
A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally. What if the couple wanted prenatal testing so that a normal fetus could be aborted?

Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?

3) In the snail Capaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (B³) is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell (B°). Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell; here yellow (C) is recessive to brown (CB"). A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a test cross). С. What will the results be of the testcross if the loci ARE linked and 20 m.u. apart?
