A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) is born to a motherwho is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X-linkedskin condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The mother’sskin is completely normal with no signs of the skin abnormality.In contrast, her son has patches of normal skin and patchesof abnormal skin. Question: Using the appropriate genetic terminology, describe themeiotic mistake that occurred. Be sure to indicate in whichdivision the mistake occurred.
Following X-chromosome inactivation, most of the genes on theinactivated X chromosome are silenced. Explain how. Name onegene that is not silenced.
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits In the eighteenth century, a young boy with a skin condition known as ichthyosis hystrix gravior was identified. The phenotype of this disorder includes thickening of skin and the formation of loose spines that are sloughed off periodically. This man married and had six sons, all of whom had the same condition. He also had several daughters, all of whom were unaffected. In all succeeding generations, the condition was passed on from father to son. What can you theorize about the location of the gene that causes ichthyosis hystrix gravior?
Theodor Boveri predicted that malignancies would often be associated with chromosomal mutation. What lines of evidence substantiate this prediction?
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?
The gene causing Coffin-Lowry syndrome (OMIM 303600) was recently identified and mapped on the human X chromosome. Coffin-Lowry syndrome is a rare disorder affecting brain morphology and development. It also produces skeletal and growth abnormalities, as well as abnormalities of motor control. Coffin-Lowry syndrome affects males who inherit a mutation of the X-linked gene. Most carrier females show no symptoms of the disease but a few carriers do. These carrier females are always less severely affected than males. Offer an explanation for this finding.
Discuss why X-linked disorders are more common thanY-linked disorders.
Although most tortoiseshell cats are female, a litter of kittens will occasionally contain a male tortoiseshell. Which of the following can explain tortoiseshell coat color in a male kitten? Please explain in detail. The male kitten has an extra Y chromosome The male kitten has an extra X chromosome The male kitten has no X chromosome The male kitten cannot carry out X-inactivation
Explain why a person with Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) still exhibits abnormal phenotypes despite the fact that one of the extra X Chromosome is inactivated practically leaving an XY active sex chromosomes similar to a normal male?

Fragile X syndrome why is interesting Fragile X syndrome What are the symptoms or characteristics of this disorder or trait? What is the prevalence of the trait or disorder? What are the main genetic factors? s the genetic cause of this disorder or trait known? What gene(s) have been proven to be involved? Or, if not known, what genes are thought to be involved? Is it caused by a single gene? polygenic? Multifactorial? Devote a few paragraphs to this This could be one of the longest parts of the paper, if you choose to focus on this. If multiple genes are thought to be involved, discuss the specific role of at least one of them in depth (if known). Is the gene you’re discussing thought to play a major or a minor role in the phenotype? What chromosome is it on? What protein does it code for, and how might the protein possibly contribute to the phenotype? If no genes have yet been identified, indicate this, and devote at least one paragraph to any current efforts to determine which…
. In humans, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive gene and will only be expressed in females if they are homozygous for this gene. However, in some rare cases, a heterozygote becomes hemophilic. Explain how this incident happens and why will there be skewed X-inactivation?
