Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The results of DNA analysis for the paternity test is given below:
With the help of this diagram, analyze which male,
Introduction:
In all sexually reproducing animals, the identification of paternity can be made by DNA analysis. An offspring receives exactly one-half of the genes from the male and half from the female. Genetic testing can be used to reveal that one-half of the genetic markers in the male match those of their children. Genetic markers that are not maternal should have come from the paternal side. To identify paternity, every nonmaternal marker carried by the offspring must be carried by their female.♂ ♀

The picture below represents a G1 cell from a newly discovered species that uses the X/Y sex determination system. Alleles for the different autosomal genes of interest are indicated on the chromosomes, and genes R and T are 16 cM apart. Red lines show maternal chromosomes, and blue lines show paternal chromosomes. Answer the following questions about this individual.d) Provide the genotype of the fertilizing male gamete that produced this individual.
e) This individual can produce a pool of different gametes. List any TWO potential gametes that will occur at different frequencies. Give the alleles of each gamete contained within a set of brackets, and indicate the expected frequency (up to two decimals) at which that gamete would occur.
b) Following figure is showing the DNA fingerprint analysis on the one locus of a man
with four children. Which lane contains the DNA of a father? Why did you select that
lane?

A.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease. What are the probabilities that their other children will develop the disease?

- Using figure 1 and the following background information answer the following questions. Identification of the genetic cause of hornlessness in cattle has been the subject of intensive genetic and genomic research, culminating in the nomination of two different candidate neomutations on cattle chromosome 1 that are predicted to have arisen 500-1,000 years ago: a complex allele of Friesian origin (PF), an 80,128 base pair (bp) duplication (1909352–1989480 bp), and a second, simple allele of Celtic origin (PC) corresponding to a duplication of 212 bp (chromosome 1 positions 1705834–1706045) in place of a 10-bp deletion (1706051–1706060)We report the use of genome editing using transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) to introgress the putative PC POLLED allele into the genome of bovine embryo fibroblasts to try and produce a genotype identical to what is achievable using natural mating, but without the attendant genetic drag and admixture.

- A RFLP is discovered that is linked to the gene for Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is an X-linked, recessive trait. The RFLP is 2 map units from the gene for DMD. Consider the following pedigree and Southern blot using a probe that hybridizes to the RFLP. Which band/s is/are associated with DMD? What is the genotype for individuals 3 and 4? (Remember, this is an X linked disease, so use X’s and Y’s to denote). Individual 9 married a man who does NOT have muscular dystrophy, and she is pregnant. DMD is an X-linked trait. What is the probability for their child to have DMD? An amniocentesis is performed and it is determined that 9’s child in utero has only a 10 kb band that hybridizes to the same probe used above. What can you say about the child now?arrow_forwardA man of blood group A is being sued by a woman of blood group B for paternity. The women’s child is blood group O.
