The genotype of EB27 and EB67 are unknown. Based on pedigree, what are the most likely genotype of each individual?
In mice, the trait for high cholesterol is specified by a dominant allele designatedHC, whereas the wild-type allele for normal cholesterol levels is designated hc.Black fur is specified by a recessive allele designated bl, whereas the wild-typeallele which gives brown fur is designated BL. The genes for both of these traitsare 30cM apart on the same autosome. A brown female (#1) with high cholesterolis mated to a black male (#2) with normal cholesterol. The progeny from this crossinclude a brown male (#3) with high cholesterol and a black female (#4) withnormal cholesterol. Mouse #3 is mated to a brown female (#5) with normalcholesterol. If 4 mice are produced from this cross, what is the probability that all 4will have brown fur?
. The production of pigment in the outer layer of seedsof corn requires each of the three independently assorting genes A, C, and R to be represented by at leastone dominant allele, as specified in Problem 64. Thedominant allele Pr of a fourth independently assortinggene is required to convert the biochemical precursorinto a purple pigment, and its recessive allele pr makesthe pigment red. Plants that do not produce pigmenthave yellow seeds. Consider a cross of a strain of genotype A/A ; C/C ; R/R ; pr/pr with a strain of genotypea/a ; c/c ; r/r ; Pr/Pr.a. What are the phenotypes of the parents?b. What will be the phenotype of the F1?c. What phenotypes, and in what proportions, willappear in the progeny of a selfed F1?d. What progeny proportions do you predict from thetestcross of an F1?
A rare blinding disease that has a relation to dengenerative factors is partially penetrant. In the following pedigrees for two families, the affected symptomatic individuals (black circles and squares) have been diagnosed with this disease due to the mutation in mitochondrial DNA m.14484T>C. If III.4 is homoplasmic for m.14484T>C in hair, blood, urine and other tissues examined. What will occur with IV.7 then?
The accompanying pedigree shows the pattern of transmission of two rare human phenotypes: cataract andpituitary dwarfism. Family members with cataract areshown with a solid left half of the symbol; those withpituitary dwarfism are indicated by a solid right halfa. What is the most likely mode of inheritance of each ofthese phenotypes? Explain.b. List the genotypes of all members in generation III asfar as possible.c. If a hypothetical mating took place between IV-1 andIV-5, what is the probability of the first child’s being adwarf with cataracts? A phenotypically normal child?(Problem 48 is adapted from J.

. In a diploid organism of 2n = 10, assume that you canlabel all the centromeres derived from its female parentand all the centromeres derived from its male parent.When this organism produces gametes, how many maleand female-labeled centromere combinations are possible in the gametes?
Explain why it is possible for the proband in the following pedigree to have children of blood types A, B, and AB. Considering epistatic genes, what are the possible genotypes of II-2?
In an in situ hybridization experiment, a certain clonebound to only the X chromosome in a boy with no diseasesymptoms. However, in a boy with Duchenne musculardystrophy (X-linked recessive disease), it bound to theX chromosome and to an autosome. Explain. Could thisclone be useful in isolating the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
From the pedigree in Figure 3-25, what principle can youdeduce about the inheritance of mitochondrial diseasefrom affected fathers?
The accompanying pedigree shows a very unusual inheritance pattern that actually did exist. All progeny areshown, but the fathers in each mating have been omittedto draw attention to the remarkable pattern.a. Concisely state exactly what is unusual about thispedigree.b. Can the pattern be explained by Mendelianinheritance?
The gene controlling ABO blood type and the gene underlying nail-patella syndrome are said to show linkage. What does that mean in terms of their relative locations in the genome? What does it mean in terms of how the two traits are inherited with respect to each other?
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?
