- Below is a pedigree from one family (two parents and eight children). Four of the children (indicated by shaded shapes) are affected with a serious disease with an unknown genetic cause. a) For the disease, what pattern of inheritance (autosomal/sex-linked, recessive/dominant) is exhibited by this pedigree? b) Linkage analysis of the disease to a series of VNTR polymorphisms on human chromosome 5 is shown above. Is there evidence for linkage between the disorder and the VNTR? Briefly explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat is the Philadelphia chromosome? How is this chromosome related to cancer? Identify how this chromosome appears physically different in a karyotype than it appears in a normal karyotype. Include references to information sources used.arrow_forwardAre forward and reverse primer are complementry to each other ?arrow_forward
- Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?arrow_forwardDid the fact that Prince Albert and Queen Victoria were first cousins have anything to do with the fact that she carried the allele for hemophilia? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?arrow_forward
- A woman who is heterozygous for gene B has brown eyes. B is a dominant allele for brown pigmentation, while b is recessive allele for blue pigmentation. The woman has a patch of blue color in her left eye. Give THREE (3) reasons how this might occur.arrow_forwardWhich type of mutation where a chromosome is found to be shorter that it’s homologous match?arrow_forwardWhat is a test cross?arrow_forward
- Explain why it is possible for the proband in the following pedigree to have children of blood types A, B, and AB. Considering epistatic genes, what are the possible genotypes of II-2?arrow_forwardIs the DNA of our father identical with the DNA in our mother?arrow_forwardThe pedigree below shows that inheritance of a disease that is caused by a late onset, dominant, autosomal mutation that is rare, but only 50% penetrant. The gene that is mutated in the disease is linked at a distance of 10 cm to a microsatellite marker that has alleles numbered 1, 2, and 3. The marker alleles detected in each individual are indicated below. What is the probability that individual A will develop the disease? Explain using an illustration of this occurs.arrow_forward
