a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The proportion of the following-

  • Vulcan phenotypes for all three characters.

Introduction. Proportion means the percentage. The proportion of the genotypes means the percentage or the part among the whole proportion of the genes given in the linkage map. The proportion can be found by using the D. Harrison formula.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The proportion of the following-

  • Earth phenotypes for all three characters.

Introduction. The frequency of parental must be calculated first. Crossing over occurs approx 15 between P and A, which means occur 85 percent is left. Crossing over occurs approx 20 percent between A and R, and hence 80 percent left.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The proportion of the following-

  • Vulcan ears and heart but Earth adrenals

Introduction: Crossing over occurs approx 15 between P and A, which means occur 85 percent is remaining. Crossing over occurs approx 20 percent between A and R, and hence 80 percent left.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The proportion of the following-

  • Vulcan ears but Earth heart and adrenals.

Introduction: To find Vulcan ears and hearts and Earth adrenals, a crossover must occur in both regions, producing double crossovers

Take the example of B-thalassemia, an autosomal recessive genetic disease that particularly affects people from around the Mediterranean. This disease is associated with an anomaly of hemoglobin, a protein essential for the transport of oxygen, which is composed of four chains: two alpha (a) and two beta (B). In case of B-thalassemia, the ẞ chains are produced in insufficient or no quantity in an individual homozygous recessive resulting in insufficient production of overall hemoglobin leading to anemia and other physiological challenges. The gene that controls the synthesis of the ẞ chains is located on chromosome 11. Here is part of the coding portion of this gene (which controls a total of 146 amino acids and of which you only see the portion 36 to 41) and one of the targeted mutations: 1. Give the sequence of amino acids from the template and mutated strands. 2. What type of point mutation is it? 3. Using the principles of the theory of evolution, explain briefly and generally why…
The following genetic map describes three hypothetical human autosomal genes, each of which exhibits two alleles. Two-factor map distances are shown. A = Artistic (dominant)           a = Inartistic (recessive)           M = Moral (dominant)           m = Immoral (recessive)           G = Generous (dominant)           g = Greedy (recessive)  Assume that these traits exhibit simple Mendelian dominance/recessiveness. The coefficient of coincidence for this map is 0.4. An artistic, moral, generous heterozygous female of genotype AMG/amg marries an inartistic, immoral, greedy homozygous male of genotype amg/amg. What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, immoral and greedy? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, moral and generous? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be artistic, immoral and generous?
In humans, four different blood types (A, B, AB, and O) are encoded by three alleles 1, 1, and i Individuals with both I and I alleles have blood type AB (red blood cells with both A and B antigens). Two copies of the i allele are required for an individual to have blood type O (red blood cells with no antigens). Which of the following correctly indicates the relationship between the I and / alleles for the blood type gene? Select one: OA. I is dominant to / OB. I is recessive to i OC. I and I are co-dominant OD. I and/exemplify incomplete dominance
