Concept explainers

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Analysis of Autosomal Recessive and Dominant Traits Huntington disease is a rare, fatal disease that usually develops in the fourth or fifth decade of life. It is caused by a single autosomal dominant allele. A phenotypically normal man in his twenties who has a 2-year-old son of his own learns that his father has developed Huntington disease. What is the probability that he himself will develop the disease? What is the chance that his young son will eventually develop the disease?
BPA and Abnormal Meiosis In 1998, researchers at Case Western University were studying meiosis in mouse oocytes (germ cells) when they saw an unexpected and dramatic increase of abnormal events (FIGURE 12.6). Improper segregation of chromosomes during meiosis is one of the main causes or human genetic disorders. The spike in abnormal meiosis began right after the mouse facility started washing the animals' plastic cages and water bottles in a new, alkaline detergent. The detergent had damaged the plastic, which as a result was leaching bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is a synthetic chemical that mimics estrogen, the main female sex hormone in animals. Though it has since been banned for use in baby bottles, BPA is still widely used to manufacture other plastic items and epoxies (such as the coating on the inside of metal cans of food). BPA-free plastics are often manufactured with a related compound, bisphenol S (BPS), that has effects similar to BPA. FIGURE 12.6 Abnormalities in meiosis that occurred after exposure to BPA. Top, the most abnormal meiosis events occurred in mice that were housed in damaged plastic caging with damaged plastic bottles. Damaged plastic releases BPA. Bottom, fluorescent micrographs show the chromosomes (red) and spindle (green) in nuclei of mouse germ cells in metaphase I. A Normal metaphase; BD abnormal metaphase. What percentage of mouse oocytes displayed abnormalities of meiosis with no exposure to damaged caging?
Choose the statement that is incorrect. a. A son can inherit a recessive allele on an X chromosome from either parent. b. An individual may inherit three or more of each type of chromosome characteristic or the species, a condition called polyploidy. c. A female child inherits one X chromosome from her mother and one from her father. d. Pedigree analysis can be used to determine a future childs chance of being born with achcondroplasia.

The X-linked gene responsible for DMD encodes a protein called dystrophin that is required for muscle function. Dystrophin protein is not secreted—it remains inthe cells that produce it. Given what you know aboutBarr body formation, do you think that females heterozygous for the recessive DMD disease allele could havethe disease in some parts of their bodies and not others?
The genetic variability of the Giddings children started out asmutations that occurred thousands of years ago. Take haircolor: Our distant ancestors probably all had dark hair, its colorcontrolled by multiple genes located on several different chromosomes.The alleles that produced Tess’s blond hair originatedas mutations in genes that control the amount and type of hairpigment. Tess probably inherited only “pale hair” alleles of all ofthese genes, so for any given hair color gene, she has the samepale hair allele on both homologous chromosomes. Chris, on theother hand, inherited both dark and pale hair alleles for at leastsome of the genes, so his homologues have different alleles. Aswe will see in Chapter 11, in many cases one allele (in this case,the dark hair allele) overrides the effects of the other allele (thepale hair allele), so Chris has black hair. What combinations ofalleles might have been packaged in Tess’s eggs and Chris’ssperm, which would combine to produce their…

Genetic Inheritance Patterns: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Usher’s Syndrome is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. One website (http://www.emedicine.com/oph/topic704.htm) says that Usher’s Syndrome Type II has been mapped to chromosome arm 1qe. Usher’s Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition 1) Draw a pedigree of Eric's family showing possible genotypes and chances of having RP. Within this pedigree, include Eric's parents, Eric himself, Eric's brother Dirk, and a daughter of Eric's. Be sure to follow all standard pedigree conventions. 2) Imagine you are a genetics counselor. Based upon the pattern of inheritance, what advice would you give Eric's…
