Question
Chapter 1, Problem 35P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The average lifetime risk of the disease for the 95 % of the population should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The genetic disorders are the hereditary diseases that are passed on to the off springs by the parent’s gene. Some genetic disorders are caused due to the mutations in the DNA strands. Such defects are inherited only if they appear to be in germline. Examples of genetic disorders are Tay-Sachs disease, Huntington’s disease, and Sickle cell anemia.

Students have asked these similar questions
True or False? While transposons need to move to reproduce and to distribute to new hosts, the process of transposition inevitably jeopardizes the host organism.
True or False? Most transposons prefer DNA targets that are straight.
True or False? Mammalian genomes such as the human genome have hundreds of thousands of LINEs, although fewer than 100 of these elements are thought to function autonomously.
Calculating human genome
If 1.5 percent of the human genome consists of protein-coding sequences, and the entire genome has 3.2x10^9, how many codons are there in the human genome? Remember that a codon is three nucleotides in length.
True/false? if false, justify briefly
DNA synthesis during the S phase is extremely rapid. Cells undergoing the S phase are thus extremely sensitive to rays and chemicals.
