- How would mutations that completely ablate the function of the androgen receptor impact the phenotypic development of humans with XY chromosomes? Patients would appear phenotypically female Patients would appear phenotypically male with underdeveloped secondary sex characteristics Patients would appear phenotypically male, but cannot produce sperm Patients would express both male and female secondary sex characteristics.arrow_forwardCan We Talk About Sex? Abstract: A three–year–old female undergoes elective inguinal hernia repair and unexpectedly is found to have testes in the hernia sacs. A recommendation is made not to disclose the patient’s genotype to her mother. This case study addresses the ethical conflict of whether to disclose the patient’s male genotype to the parent that has been raising the child as female. This case highlights the ethical risks and potential consequences later in life of not disclosing a patient’s CAIS diagnosis and treatment. Conversely, what would the consequences be for disclosing?arrow_forwardPlease explain Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (ALS). What is the phenotype of these individuals?

A man, whose father was colorblind, has a colorblind daughter. a) Is this man colorblind? How do you know? b) Where did he get his gene for colorblindness? c) Must the fathers of all colorblind girls be colorblind? Why? 1.

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.
