- A study in a British medical journal found there was a correlation in telomere length between fathers and their daughters and between mothers and both their sons and daughters but not between fathers and their sons. How can you explain this finding?How does the telomere length of the parents compare with the telomere length of the children? (Hint: Calculate the average telomere length of all parents and the average telomere length of all children.)Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose a woman who is homozygous for Huntington's disease has 12 children? We would expect __________ of them to have the disease. A mother who is heterozygous for the Huntington's disease gene wants to have a baby with a man who is also heterozygous for the gene. What is the likelihood their baby will not have Huntington's disease?
