can you please explain to me how twin studies can reveal whether or not the appearance of a trait is strongly
influenced by genetics.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Briefly describe how twin studies can reveal whether or not the appearance of a trait is strongly influenced by genetics.Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. It can also be used to help identify individuals within a family who may be at risk for the trait. Adam and Sarah, a young couple of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, went to a genetic counselor because they were planning a family and wanted to know what their chances were for having a child with a genetic condition. The genetic counselor took a detailed family history from both of them and discovered several traits in their respective families. Sarahs maternal family history is suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern of cancer predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer because of the young ages at which her mother and grandmother were diagnosed with their cancers. If a mutant allele that predisposed to breast and ovarian cancer was inherited in Sarahs family, she, her sister, and any of her own future children could be at risk for inheriting this mutation. The counselor told her that genetic testing is available that may help determine if this mutant allele is present in her family members. Adams paternal family history has a very strong pattern of early onset heart disease. An autosomal dominant condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia may be responsible for the large number of deaths from heart disease. As with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, genetic testing is available to see if Adam carries the mutant allele. Testing will give the couple more information about the chances that their children could inherit this mutation. Adam had a first cousin who died from Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), a fatal autosomal recessive condition most commonly found in people of Eastern European Jewish descent. Because TSD is a recessively inherited disorder, both of his cousins parents must have been heterozygous carriers of the mutant allele. If that is the case, Adams father could be a carrier as well. If Adams father carries the mutant TSD allele, it is possible that Adam inherited this mutation. Because Sarah is also of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, she could also be a carrier of the gene, even though no one in her family has been affected with TSD. If Adam and Sarah are both carriers, each of their children would have a 25% chance of being afflicted with TSD. A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you decide to have a child if the test results said that you carry the mutation for breast and ovarian cancer? The heart disease mutation? The TSD mutation? The heart disease and the mutant alleles?Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

If Adam and Sarah are both carriers, each of their children would have a 25% chance of being afflicted with TSD. A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you want to know the results of the cancer, heart disease, and TSD tests if you were Sarah and Adam? Is it their responsibility as potential parents to gather this type of information before they decide to have a child?

If Sarah carries the mutant cancer allele and Adam carries the mutant heart disease allele, what is the chance that they would have a child who is free of both diseases? Are these good odds?Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a human hereditary disease resulting from the inability of the body to process the chemical phenylalanine, which is contained in the protein we eat. PKU is manifest in early infancy and, if it remains untreated, generally leads to cognitive impairment. PKU is caused by a recessive allele with simple Mendelian inheritance. A couple intends to have children but consults a genetic counselor because the man has a sister with PKU and the woman has a brother with PKU. There are no other known cases in their families. They ask the genetic counselor to determine the probability that their first child will have PKU. What is this probability?What is sickle cell anemia? What is the true inheritance pattern? How did scientists discover the true inheritance pattern? Explain multiple Alleles using Human Blood Groups as an example. Demonstrate the understanding of Polygenic Inheritance using an Example. (Skin colour or Height can be used as an example for explanation) . What is heterozygous advantage? Provide an example to explain the process.
- Huntington's disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that can affect both men and women. Imagine a couple has had seven children, and later in life, the husband develops Huntington's disease. He is tested and it is discovered he is heterozygous for the disease allele, Hh. The wife is also genetically tested for the Huntington's disease allele, and her test results show she is unaffected, hh. What is the percent probability that the first child of this couple will have Huntington's disease? probability: % What is the percent probability that two of the seven children will have Huntington's disease? probability: %Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. For epilepsy, the concordance values are 72% for monozygotic twins and 15% for dizygotic twins. 1) Is this a single gene inheritance or multifactorial disease? 2) Is there a strong genetic or environmental cause to the development of this disease? If both genetic and environmental causes are implicated, you have to indicate each of them separately.Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition. Therefore, heterozygous (Cc) carriers do not display symptoms. Two parents who are carriers plan to start a family and you are a genetic counselor helping to advise them about their chances of having children affected by CF. a) Suppose the couple has 4 children, each one year apart. What is the probability that all 4 children will inherit CF? b) What is the probability that any 3 of their 4 children will not inherit CF, but 1 will be affected? c) What is the probability that their first child will not inherit CF, but the younger 3 children will inherit CF?
- The father of three sons and two daughters begins to show symptoms of Huntington disease. What is the probability that Sam, the man’s second oldest son (II-2), will suffer from the disease if he lives a normal life span? Sam’s mother and her ancestors do not have the disease. Sam's father was adopted, so we do not know his biological family history for Huntington disease. Explore all possible outcomes for Sam and explain your reasoning. What about the risk to Sam's sisters? Would that be the same or not?YOUR SISTER DIED FROM TAY-SACHS DISEASE, INHERITED AS A RECESSIVE ALLELE (t). you're married and planning to start your family. you're worried about the disease and decide to have genetic testing to see if you or your spouse is a carrier of the tay-sachs allele. the test results show that you're a carrier of the allele, but your spouse isn't. what is the probability that you and your spouse will have a child with tay-sachs disease? show your work.At her first prenatal visit, a woman relates that her maternal aunt has cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive illness. Which of the following statements is appropriate for the nurse to make? a. It is unnecessary for you to worry since our aunt is not a direct relation." b. "We can check to see whether or not you are a carrier for cystic fibrosis." c. "You should have an amniocentesis to see whether or not your child has the disease." d. Please ask your mother whether she has ever had any symptoms of cystic fibrosis
