a. What is the probability that their child will not be affected by this trait? b. A geneticist uses RFLP analysis (described in Tool Box 3.1), in combination with a polar body assay, to determine if their child is likely to be affected by this trait. In this analysis, the size of the band on the gel represents a chromosome that has either the "normal" allele or the "disease" allele. The gel is shown in Figure Q6.5B, with each lane of the gel showing the results for one member of her family. The lane labeled "PB"is the analysis of the first polar body. Based on this analysis, what is the probability that their child will not be affected by this trait?

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IAlB, and IAalleles. The allele encodes the A blood group antigen, lBencodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: multiple alleles and incomplete dominance codominance and incomplete dominance incomplete dominance only multiple alleles and codominance

Link: Lack of RAC1 in macrophages protects against atherosclerosis - PMC (nih.gov) Could somone explain exactly what this means below? NOT HW just trying to get a better understanding on what this experiment is about. To produce mice that are deficient for RAC1 in macrophages, female C57BL/6 mice homozygously expressing the floxed Rac1 gene (Rac1fl/fl) [6] were crossbred with male mice homozygously expressing Cre under the monocyte-specific lysozyme M promoter (LC) [12]. Mice were genotyped for Rac1 deficiency as previously described
