Sample 06 is from the mother of Missing Fisherman #2. If samples 01 or 02 are from Fisherman #2, what STR variations would you expect to see in him inherit from his mother? a. Do any of the 16 STR loci suggest that sample 06 is from the mother? Do variants match between columns 01, 02, and 06? b. Do any of the 16 STR loci suggest that sample 06 is NOT from the mother? Do any of the variants in samples

A worldwide survey of genetic variation in human populations reported the autosomal codominant MN blood group types in a sample of 1029 Chinese individuals from Hong Kong. The sample contained 342 people with blood type M, 500 with blood type MN, and 187 with blood type N. Part A The number of people expected in each blood-type category is: Enter the values expected for MM, MN and NN blood-type categories, respectively, separated by commas and using two decimal places (example 1.02, 2.30, 3.45).

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare human disease in which toxic substances accumulate in nerve cells. The recessive allele responsible for the disease is inherited in a simple Mendelian manner. For unknown reasons, the allele is more common in populations of Ashkenazi Jews of eastern Europe. A woman is planning to marry her first cousin, but the couple discovers that their shared grandfather’s sister died in infancy of Tay-Sachs disease.a. Draw the relevant parts of the pedigree, and show all the genotypes as completely as possible. b. What is the probability that the cousins’ first child will have Tay-Sachs disease, assuming that all people who marry into the family are homozygous normal?

A rare blinding disease that has a relation to dengenerative factors is partially penetrant. In the following pedigrees for two families, the affected symptomatic individuals (black circles and squares) have been diagnosed with this disease due to the mutation in mitochondrial DNA m.14484T>C.     If III.4 is homoplasmic for m.14484T>C in hair, blood, urine and other tissues examined. What will occur with IV.7 then?

A poultry grower has 2 breeds of chicken, averaging 9 and 5 lbs. inweight. The F1 of the cross between is quite uniform, averaging 7lbs. Of the F2 progeny, 0.4% is as heavy as either parent. a. How much does each effective allele contribute to weight? b. What is the number of polygenes pairs involved in thesecrosses? c. If only those with an average weight of 6-8 lbs. are marketable, whatpercentage of the offspring will yield profit for the grower?
