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.

Hi im having some trouble with this question, if someone could help solve these with an explanation it would be very helpful! In cats, a gene on the X chromosome (X-linked) makes the protein amelogenin, which helps direct the formation of tooth enamel. A mutation in an amelogenin allele changes the amino acid sequence of the protein and can cause a condition called amelogenesis imperfecta, leading to defects in a cat’s tooth enamel. In one type of amelogenesis imperfecta in cats, the allele associated with the condition, a, acts in a recessive manner. Its dominant counterpart, A, results in normal levels of amelogenin. Additionally, the dominant allele H at an autosomal locus that regulates the expression of the protein Sonic Hedgehog is responsible for polydactyly (the presence of extra digits on each foot, “double paws”) and the expression of its recessive counterpart h results in the absence of polydactyly (having the 5 digits per front paw, and 4 digits per hind paw). A female cat…
Galactosemia is a recessive human disease that istreatable by restricting lactose and glucose in the diet.Susan Smithers and her husband are both heterozygous for the galactosemia gene.a. Susan is pregnant with twins. If she hasfraternal (nonidentical) twins, what is theprobability both of the twins will be girls whohave galactosemia?b. If the twins are identical, what is the probabilitythat both will be girls and have galactosemia?For parts (c–g), assume that none of the children isa twin.c. If Susan and her husband have four children, whatis the probability that none of the four will havegalactosemia?d. If the couple has four children, what is the probability that at least one child will have galactosemia?e. If the couple has four children, what is the probability that the first two will have galactosemia andthe second two will not?f. If the couple has three children, what is the probability that two of the children will have galactosemia and one will not, regardless of order?g. If…
.Certain forms of human color blindness are inherited as X-linkedrecessive traits. Hemizygous males are color-blind, but heterozygous females are not. However, heterozygous females sometimeshave partial color blindness.A. Discuss why heterozygous females may have partial color blindness.B. Doctors identified an unusual case in which a heterozygousfemale was color-blind in her right eye but had normal colorvision in her left eye. Explain how this might have occurred.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused bya recessive mutant allele of an X-linked gene calleddystrophin. Rarely, females have disease symptomsas severe as those in males hemizygous for therecessive allele. These females are heterozygous forX-autosome reciprocal translocations where the Xchromosome breakage occurred in the middle of thedystrophin gene, breaking it into two pieces.a. If it is equally likely for X chromosome inactivation to spread from either of the X chromosomeinactivation centers (XICs; see Fig. 12.15) in thecells of this patient, what proportion of her cellswould you expect to have normal function of thedystrophin gene?
Tay–Sachs disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations ina gene on chromosome 15 that encodes a lysosomal enzyme.Tay–Sachs is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition.Among Ashkenazi Jews of Central European ancestry, about1 in 3600 children is born with the disease. What fraction ofthe individuals in this population are carriers?
Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that exhibitshaploinsufficiency. A recent survey showed that people heterozygousfor mutations at the BLM locus are at increased risk of colon cancer.Suppose you are a genetic counselor. A young woman is referred to youwhose mother has Bloom syndrome; the young woman’s father has nofamily history of Bloom syndrome. The young woman asks whether sheis likely to experience any other health problems associated with herfamily history of Bloom syndrome. What advice would you give her?
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.

This is a modified question from the textbook, Campbell Biology in Focus (3rd edition), question #5 on page 256. A man with normal vision marries a woman with normal vision whose father was red-green color-blind (a recessive, sex-linked condition). Assuming that the woman's mother had normal vision and did not carry the recessive gene, what is the probability that the married couple will have a color-blind daughter? That their first son will be color-blind? That their second son will be color-blind? Include Punnett square for each question in your answer. You may find the below diagram helpful (the orange square means the individual has the phenotype of color-blindness, while the beige means the individual is a carrier of the mutated color-blind gene where XN and Xn represent dominant and recessive allele, respectively).
Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify. What information can you provide the juryconcerning the allegation?
The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?
In retinoblastoma, a mutation in one allele of the RB1 tumorsuppressorgene can be inherited from the germ line, causingan autosomal dominant predisposition to the developmentof eye tumors. To develop tumors, a somatic mutation in thesecond copy of the RB1 gene is necessary, indicating that themutation itself acts as a recessive trait. Given that the firstmutation can be inherited, in what ways can a second mutationalevent occur?
