Concept explainers
To determine: The ways the clinicians can respect the brother’s desire not to know whether he is suffering from DKC or not and can not be a suitable donor for her sister.
Introduction: Dyskeratosiscongenita (DKC) is is a rare human genetic disorder that occurs due to the mutation in the telomerase gene. DKC disease may lead to bone marrow failure resulting in reducingthe production of blood cells and anemia.
To determine: The reason that clinicians tell the sister about her brother condition of DKC.
Introduction: A 27-year-old woman is diagnosed with a dominant form of DKC and needs a bone marrow transplant to treat the disorder. A 13-year-old brother was identified as the best immunologically matched donor for her sister

- This question is in two parts. a. What is RFLP? Briefly describe the purpose and how it is accomplished. b. The following mother wanted to confirm to her husband that the two children were actually his genetic children. She decided to have a paternity test done. The test was performed by first collecting cheek cell samples from each children, the mother and the father in question. The researcher isolated the DNA and performed RFLP with two different probes. The results of RFLP are shown on the here Is the father genetic father for the kB kB 30 30 25 25 20 20 18 18 13 13 10 10 Probe 1 Probe 2 children?

Would you recommend this method for routine diagnosis of sickle cell disorder? Explainarrow_forwarda) Sam wants to alter his interrupted mating experiment by placing a filter in between the donor and the recipient cells in order to separate the two. Is Sam’s suggestion for this modification to the procedure utilized in interrupted mating experiments valid? Explain. b) Much to the dismay of the researcher with whom Sam is working, Sam is not only forgetful, but he is also lazy! Rather than devoting the necessary hours to conducting his assigned interrupted mating experiments, Sam has decided that his time would be better spent modifying the F plasmid so that the experiments wouldn’t require quite so much time. The diagram below shows a map of the E. coli F plasmid, similar to that shown in lecture. Sam is determined to “get rid of some of the excess DNA” present in the plasmid. Please keep in mind that the PI in the lab in which Sam works utilizes these F plasmids for interrupted mating experiments between Hfr and F- cells as well as for interrupted mating experiments involving F+…arrow_forward

Mr. and Mrs. Jones received baby #1 and Mr. and Mrs. Simon received baby #2. Blood typing tests on the parents and the babies showed the following: Mr. Jones: Type A Mr. Simon: Type AB Mrs. Jones: Type O Mrs. Simons: Type O Baby #1: Type A Baby #2 Type O Were the babies switched?

I’ve answered the entire blood typing and genetics section but I’m stuck with this. There are 3 questions. The pheno / Geno chart needs to be applied. I have so many variations on my answer but I can’t sit and type them all in to this box. Please help me.arrow_forward
