Chapter 21, Problem 19P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for all the patients not having the same genotype.
Introduction:
All humans have genotypic differences. Even a single change in the genotype can cause disease. Different genotypic mutations can cause the different or same disease.

The persistence of an autosomal dominant allele that is fatal in 100% of cases is best explained by which of the following? A) The dominant allele only has moderate negative effects during adolescence and young adulthood. B) The wild-type h allele continues to spontaneously mutate into the dominant H allele. C) The persistence of any given allele in nature is determined almost wholly by chance. D) The disease has no effects until the individual has reached an age far past the normal age for reproduction.arrow_forwarddominant-therefore someone with AB genotype has AB phenotype. You can see both because they are codominant) i) What are the possible genotypes for someone with A blood type? ii) What about B blood type? iii) Let's assume that an person by the name of Dustin Beilber (this name sounds really familiar for some reason) is taken to trial in a paternity suit by a woman claiming that he is the father of her child. He claims he is not the father. At the trial, an expert witness reveals the blood types of all three: Dustin's blood type – B Mother's blood type – A Child's blood type – O Based on these data, is it possible that Dustin is the father of this child? (To put this in terms of the scientific method, you are trying to disprove the hypothesis that Dustin is the father). If you can't disprove this, it doesn't mean that he is the father, it simply means that you cannot reject the hypothesis). Explain your answer.arrow_forward

Assuming Mary is a carrier, what are the genotype ratios expected for Mary and John's kids (specify for boys and for girls)? C) Mary and John have 2 boys, none of them has hemophilia. Can we use this fact as proof that Mary does not carry the allele for hemophilia? Explain your argument.arrow_forward
