CASE STUDY | Timing is everything
A man in his early 20s received chemotherapy and radiotherapy as treatment every 60 days for Hodgkin disease. After unsuccessful attempts to have children, he had his sperm examined at a fertility clinic, upon which multiple chromosomal irregularities were discovered. When examined within 5 days of a treatment, extra chromosomes were often present or one or more chromosomes were completely absent. However, such irregularities were not observed at day 38 or thereafter.
Do you think that exposure to chemotherapy and radiotherapy of a spermatogonium would cause more problems than exposure to a secondary spermatocyte?

If one X is inactivated early in embryogenesis, the genotype of the individual effectively becomes XY. Why will this individual not develop as a normal male?arrow_forward. Hydatiform moles are growths of undifferentiated tissues that form within the uterus during an abnormalmolar pregnancy. These moles are usually made up ofXX diploid cells, although some can be XY diploids.Surprisingly, all of the DNA in the nuclei of the cellsin the mole is paternal in origin. Most hydatiformmoles are benign, but because they sometimes candevelop into cancers, these moles should be removedsurgically when they are detected.a.

- Hi! I would love to get some help on the box-and arrow model question! :) A male individual who is XYSRY has the following genotype for the AMH gene on chromosome 19: AMH1 AMH2. The AMH1 allele codes for a protein that is capable of binding to the receptor for AMH. The AMH2 allele codes for a protein that is unable to bind with the receptor for AMH. Based on your understanding of biology, what is the likely phenotype of this individual? Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes of which 22 pairs are autosomal and the 23rd pair is sex-linked.In a human female, the sex chromosome pair is represented as XX, whereas, in a human male, it is represented as XY.AMH is an anti-Mullerin hormone produced by the Sertoli cells in males and helps in the development of the sex organs. Each pair of chromosomes has a pair of genes called alleles at the same loci representing a single character. Each gene of an allele represents the expression of the character.A gene can either show expression or…arrow_forwardPlease summarize and make the following paragraph about treacher collins syndrome disease into important bullet points. Thank you!! A mutation in the TCOF1 gene causes up to 93% of Treacher Collins syndrome cases. This gene, which is found on chromosome 5, is in charge of facial developnent. TCOF1 changes spontaneously in around half of all cases at conception, but no one knows what causes the change. In addition, Treacher Collins syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition in some cases. This indicates that the child inherits the Treacher Collins syndrome gene from one parent and an unaffected copy from the other. Changes in the POLRIC and POLRID genes may be responsible for another 2% of instances. It's unclear how the mutations in the genes create facial abnormalities. However, during weeks three to eight of embryonic development, they are thought to trigger apoptosis (cell death) of facial bone, cartilage, and soft tissue.arrow_forwardAcross 12. 9.) one of two idéntical halves of a replicated chromosomes 15 17 12.) the structure that forms during cytokinesis in plants separating the two daughter cells 8 9. 10 13.) the condition of halving more than two sets of chromosomes per. 11 12 13 |14 Down 4.) the complex of DNA and prótein that makes up eukaryotic chromosomes 15 16 17 18 5.) the condition of having one set of chromosomes (n) per nucleus 19 20 7.) the chromosome complex formed by the synapsis of a pair of homologous 4.arrow_forward

Or, if not known, what genes are thought to be involved? Is it caused by a single gene? polygenic? Multifactorial? Devote a few paragraphs to this This could be one of the longest parts of the paper, if you choose to focus on this. If multiple genes are thought to be involved, discuss the specific role of at least one of them in depth (if known). Is the gene you’re discussing thought to play a major or a minor role in the phenotype? What chromosome is it on? What protein does it code for, and how might the protein possibly contribute to the phenotype?
