. Among adults with Turner syndrome, it has beenfound that a very high proportion are genetic mosaics.These are of two types: In some individuals, themajority of cells are XO, but a minority of cellsare XX. In other Turner individuals, the majorityof cells are XO, but a minority of cells are XY.Explain how these two patterns of somatic mosaicscould arise.
When DNA sequence from a diploid individaul is of a 1,000 nucleotide region. FInd the # of pairwaise differences you can expect between the 2 of these alleles (maternal and paternal)
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.
The phenotype of individuals heterozygous for ________ alleles comprises both homozygous phenotypes. a. epistatic b. codominant c. pleiotropic d. hybrid
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
Clubfoot is a common congenital birth defect. This defect is caused by a number of genes but appears to be phenotypically distributed in a noncontinuous fashion. Geneticists use the threshold model to explain the occurrence of this defect. Explain this model. Explain predisposition to the defect in an individual who has a genotypic liability above the threshold versus an individual who has a liability below the threshold.
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.
A heterozygous individual has a _______ for a trait being studied. a. pair of identical alleles b. pair of nonidentical alleles c. haploid condition, in genetic terms

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…
2. Uniparental disomy is a rare phenomenon in whichonly one of the parents of a child with a recessivedisorder is a carrier for that trait; the other parent ishomozygous normal. By analyzing DNA polymorphisms, it is clear that the child received both mutantalleles from the carrier parent but did not receive anycopy of the gene from the other parent.a. Diagram at least two ways in which uniparentaldisomy could arise. (Hint: These mechanismsall require more than one error in cell division,explaining why uniparental disomy is so rare.)Is there any way to distinguish between thesemechanisms to explain any particular case ofuniparental disomy?
