Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.

Redgreen color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. Your friend is the daughter of a color-blind father. Her mother had normal color vision, but her maternal grandfather was color-blind. What is the probability that your friend is color-blind? (a) 1 (b) (c) (d) (e) 0
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?
Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele of a single gene. An albino child is born to phenotypically normal parents. However, the paternal grandfather is albino. Exhaustive analysis suggests that neither the mother nor her ancestors carry the allele for albinism. Suggest a mechanism to explain this situation.
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
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?
Which of the following disorders in humans has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern? Hemophilia Albinism Tay-Sachs disease Huntington’s disease
Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive inheritance is true? X-linked recessive traits appear more frequently in females than males. X-linked traits are only found in humans. Females who are carriers of an X-linked recessive trait may not exhibit any phenotypic effects. Males have two allele copies of X-linked genes.
Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive patterns is true? The X-linked trait appears more often in females than in males. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to an XY son. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to a daughter. Heterozygous females always express the X-linked recessive trait.
Tay Sach's disease results from a mutation in the hexosaminidase A gene. Heterozygotes are normal. This is an example of what type of genetic effect? lethal epistasis dominant lethal dominant epistasis recessive lethal recessive epistasis
In humans, an X-linked disorder called coloboma iridia (a fissure in the iris_ is a recessive trait. A normal couple has an afflicted daughter. What would be the most plausible scenario for this situation? the female is not the biological mother, but the male is the biological father the father carries one recessive allele, and the mother carries one recessive allele the mother carries two recessive alleles the male is not the biological father, but the female is the biological mother both parents are heterozygous for the trait
There are several possible modes of inheritance through which traits can be inherited. The following pedigree charts represent four different inheritance patterns. Match each type of inheritance with the correct pedigree numbered above. (Use each number only once.)X-linked recessive:X-linked dominant:Autosomal recessive:Autosomal dominant:
