Summary Introduction
To predict: The pedigree chart for the family with the youngest son affected by albinism.
Introduction: Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition where the pigment melanin is lost from the skin that provides color to the skin. The skin becomes whitish and pale and is prone to damage under sunlight.

- Meiosis Explains Mendels Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes Define the following pedigree symbols:arrow_forwardNormally you cant inherit both copies of a homologous chromosome from the same parent. Why? Assuming that no crossing over has occurred, how likely is it that one of your non-sex chromosomes is an exact copy of the same chromosome your maternal grandmother had? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not one of the tenets of the chromosome theory of inheritance?a. Chromosomes contain the genetic material that is transmitted from parent to offspring and from cell to cell.b. Chromosomes are replicated and passed along, generationafter generation, from parent to offspring.c. Chromosome replication occurs during the S phase of thecell cycle.d. Each parent contributes one set of chromosomes to itsoffspring.arrow_forward
- How do events in meiosis explain each of Mendels two laws?arrow_forwardExplain how the separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosisaffects the appearance of siblings (such that some resemble each other and others look very different from one another).arrow_forwardDuring meiosis, does random assortment occur before or after crossing-over?arrow_forward
- Can a single offspring inherit both chromosomes from one parent? Explain.arrow_forwardExplain why the daughter cells produced by meiosis NEED to be genetically different from each other, whereas the daughter cells produced by mitosis NEED to be identical.arrow_forwardThe chromosomal theory of inheritance states that genes are on chromosomes. Therefore, any chromosomal abnormality will affect the number and location of genes therefore lead to the over- and under- expression of genes. Which of the following condition will NOT result in the over-expression of a gene? A. Trisomy 18 B. Triploidy 3n C. Monosomy X D. Duplication of a chromosome segmentarrow_forward
- In humans, Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele on chromosomes 7. A person must inherit two of these alleles to have the disease. What are the chances of a child having the disease if both of the parents are heterozygous?arrow_forwardThe outcome of Mendel’s law of independent assortment is dependent on how chromosomes are arranged at which phase?arrow_forwardMendel counted thousands of pea plants for each cross in his experiments before reaching his conclusions. Why did he need to count so many? Each kernel you counted in this lab is an offspring resulting from sexual reproduction. Name three processes that contribute to variation in sexual reproduction.arrow_forward
