Chapter 5, Problem 33ESP
The gene controlling the Xg blood group alleles (Xg+ and Xg−) and the gene controlling a newly described form of inherited recessive muscle weakness called episodic muscle weakness (EMWX) (Ryan et al., 1999) are closely linked on the X chromosome in humans at position Xp22.3 (the tip of the short arm). A male with EMWX who is Xg− marries a woman who is Xg+, and they have eight daughters and one son, all of whom are normal for muscle function, the male being Xg+ and all the daughters being heterozygous at both the EMWX and Xg loci. Following is a table that lists three of the daughters with the
- (a) Create a pedigree that represents all data stated above and in the following table.
- (b) For each of the offspring, indicate whether or not a crossover was required to produce the phenotypes that are given.

Concordance studies of twins for a neurodegenerative disorder show MZ=
46% and DZ= 15%. Further studies have shown a possible link to a gene
on chromosome 9, however, there are some individuals in the study who
have the allele but do not develop the disorder (group 1), and there are
other individuals who do not have the allele yet develop the disorder
(group 2). Amita's older sister and maternal uncle have this disorder.
Currently, Amita & her 2 younger brothers do not show symptoms. Amita's
paternal grandfather was rumored to have this disorder.
1. Draw the pedigree for Amita's family and determine the mode of
inheritance if any.
2. Explain how the 2 groups in the study could be possible?
3. What would you tell Amita about the heritability of this disorder?
In Drosophila the genes forked bristles (f and f+) and vermilion eyes (v and v+) are ~24 m.u. apart on the X chromosome.
From a cross of f v / f+ v+ females with f v / y males, what % of the progeny do you expect to have the f+ v+ phenotypes? (Don’t let the X chromosome throw you off – this question is essentially asking what % of the female’s gametes will be f+ v+).
Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.

This feature can be seen in a microscope, but otherwise has no effect on the phenotype of the person carrying it. When such a “blob" exists on a given copy of chromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome and is inherited. A couple conceived a child, but the fetus had multiple abnormalities and was miscarried. e.g., The fetus had three copies of chromosome 16, where 2 of the 3 copies of chromosome 16 had large blobs. Both of the mother's copies of chromosome 16 lacked blobs, but the father was heterozygous for blobs. The fetus was formed from a fertilization event that included a gamete produced by the in which nondisjunction occurred during the meiotic division. Select an answer and submit.

- In a human genetic study, a family with five phenotypicallynormal children was investigated. Two children were “homozygous”for a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes19 and 20 (they contained two identical copies of the fusedchromosome). They have only 44 chromosomes but a completegenetic complement. Three of the children were “heterozygous”for the translocation and contained 45 chromosomes,with one translocated chromosome plus a normal copy of bothchromosomes 19 and 20. Two other pregnancies resulted instillbirths. It was later discovered that the parents were firstcousins. Based on this information, determine the chromosomecompositions of the parents. What led to the stillbirths? Whywas the discovery that the parents were first cousins a key pieceof information in understanding the genetics of this family?arrow_forwardThe mutant genes for vestigial wings and singed bristles are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. Assume that a vestigial-winged female was mated to a singed-bristle male, and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild type females were mated to vestigial singed males. Of 1000 offspring, which phenotype class would represent the product of crossing over between the genes, and how many would you expect? a) vestigial, 300 flies b) vestigial, 150 flies wild type, 300 flies d) singed, 150 flies e) vestigial, singed double mutants, 150 fliesarrow_forwardA man who is a carrier of a translocated 15/21 chromosome marries a genotypically normal woman.

What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a phenotypically normal girl? (3). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a genetically normal boy?arrow_forward
- Cat fur coat color genetics is interesting. Orange fur is dominant (''B'') to black fur (''b'') and piebald, which is white spotting, is dominant (''S'') to non-white-spotted (''s''). Both of those genes are located on the X chromosome. In addition, in cats, somatic cells exhibit X-inactivation randomly, which explains why there are tortoiseshell cats (when heterozygous, have orange and black spots) as well as calico cats (orange and black but also with white spots). An orange and white spotted male is mated with a tortoiseshell female. Draw a dihybrid Punnet square to show the possible offspring:arrow_forwardIn Drosophila,, the curled mutation (cu, chromosome 3, position 50.0) results in wings that curl up, while ebony (e, chromosome 3, position 70.7) results in a dark body.

In drosophila the cw (curly wings) gene and eb (ebony body) genes are found on the same chromosome 20 map units apart. A cross was made between an ebony bodied parental strain and a curly winged parental strain and the F1’s were test crossed. a) What are the genotypes of the parental strains? b) What are the genotypes of the F1’s? c) What is the genotype of the tester strain? d) What progeny phenotypes and genotypes do you expect, and in what proportions?
