Chapter 17.2, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction

To describe: The meaning of the term “alleles segregate”.

Introduction: Sexual reproduction is the process of producing a living organism by combining genetic information from two separate organisms one male and another female. In sexual reproduction, the most important part is gamete formation. The process of gamete formation is called meiosis.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The way by which allele segregation is related to meiosis.

Introduction: Gamete formation is an important part of sexual reproduction and segregation is an important step in gamete formation. Segregation is the movement of two closely or attached bodies in the opposite direction.

A human male (XY), on the other hand, has only one X chromosome, and so needs only one copy of the recessive allele to have the disease. Complete the Punnett square below of a cross between a carrier mother (a female who carries one copy of the recessive allele and so appears normal herself) and a non-hemophiliac father. 1. Drag the pink labels to the pink targets to indicate the sex dictated by the genotype in each box. (Pink labels may be used more than once.) 2. Drag the blue labels to the blue targets to indicate whether the genotype in each box confers hemophilia, normal, or carrier status. (Blue labels may be used more than once.)

PLEASE explain how to do this question step by tspe i am very confused! thank you! You have three independent mutant alleles in the Drosophila gene no legs (nlg): nlg1, nlg2, and nlg3. You assay the phenotype of Drosophila, which is an insect, that are heterozygous for the three allele (heterozygous for a wild-type and a mutant allele), and that are homozygous for the three alleles. Allele nlg1 nlg2 nlg3 heterozygous Wild-type Four pairs of legs Wild-type homozygous Stumpy legs Five pairs of legs No legs   nlg1 is a ___X___ allele, nlg2 is a ___Y___ allele, and nlg3 is a ___Z___ allele.     X Y Z A Gain of function Null Hypomorphic B Hypomorphic Gain of function Null C Null Gain of function Hypomorphic D Null Hypomorphic Gain of function E Hypomorphic Null Gain of function   Referencing the table above, select the correct answer:  1 : A  2 : B  3 : C  4 : D  5 : E Correct answer is B
What is a meaning of genetic linkage? How this test is used? Describe the meaning of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and genetic distance identification which is used in genetic analysis. Knowing that recombination events occur more or less at random along the length of chromosomes, in which case the recombination will occur more frequently between the genes during meiosis: if two genes are closer together two genes are far away from each other there is no impact based on location of two genes. What is a definition of DNA polymorphism and how can this be used for linkage studies? What is a definition of DNA polymorphism and how can this be used for linkage studies?
