Question
Chapter 9, Problem 12SA
Summary Introduction
To Analyze: The reason why more closely located genes are not inherited independently.
Introduction:
Gene can be defined as the basic functional and physical unit of heredity. They are generally made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains information to generate proteins and other required data.

Which two genes are closest?
when else do we see a non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance?
a)When genes are located on different chromosomes
b)When genes are located far away on the same chromosome
c)When genes are located close together on the same chromosome
Suppose genetic analysis reveals a serious mutation in a gene in the green region of the left-hand copy of chromosome 9 in this individual. Where would you go look for another allele of this gene in this individual to see whether this individual is homozygous or heterozygous for this mutation?

Examination of six pedigrees of families affected by the disease provides inconsistent results. For two of the families, the disease is co-inherited with markers on chromosome 7. For the other four families, the disease is co-inherited with markers on chromosome 12. Explain how this difference might have arisen.arrow_forward
- Which of the following describes the difference between genetic maternal effect and cytoplasmic inheritance? O Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross express the phenotype of their mother's genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a genotype and phenotype of their mother. Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have a phenotype that reflects their own genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a genotype and phenotype with their mother. Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have the same genotype as their mother, while progeny from a Cytoplasmic Inheritance cross do not. There is no difference.arrow_forwardSuppose that a grandfather, mother, and son all have the same homozygous dominant genotype for a gene that controls facial hair growth.
