Chapter E, Problem 7P
The results shown are from a DNA test for four genes used in a paternity identification case. DNA for the mother (M) and her child (C) are shown along with DNA from two possible fathers,
a. In the “C” column, label the DNA bands contributed by the mother with “M” and the DNA bands contributed by the father with “F.”
b. Based on the exclusion principle, is either man excluded as the possible father? Explain.
c. What can you conclude based on the DNA results available?

This question is in two parts. a. What is RFLP? Briefly describe the purpose and
how it is accomplished. b. The following mother wanted to confirm to her
husband that the two children were actually his genetic children. She decided
to have a paternity test done. The test was performed by first collecting cheek
cell samples from each children, the mother and the father in question. The
researcher isolated the DNA and performed RFLP with two different probes.
The results of RFLP are shown on the here Is the father genetic father for the

- interpret using the punnett square below to both sets of parents (Parents A , Parents B, & Parents C).based on your results of filling in the boxes. What are the chances Parents A, Parents B, and Parents C will have a child with Sickle Cell? What are the chances the child will be a carrier for Sickle Cell?arrow_forwardWhich samples contain the blood of the father of the child?arrow_forwardThe DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins). Given a set of DNA profiles in figure 3, determine who the father is in a paternity case. The Case: Missis De Los Santos has a daughter who is in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Mrs. De Los Santos was ruled out as a donor. She was asked to ask if her daughter's father could also go for a check-up for donor compatibility. Mrs. De Los Santos believes one of two men is her daughter's father. Who between the men is the daughter's father? Determine who the father in the case is by comparing the DNA profiles of the persons involved in the case. At the end of your profiling activity, you will know that you have correctly figured out who the father is if you have accounted where all the DNA markers of the daughter came from.

- Can i please get help with the answer and please show me the work with an explaintion so I can understandarrow_forwardYou may insert a hand-drawn diagram of your map, but the rest of the assignment must be fully typed. The data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable.arrow_forwardAnswer the second question? About pros and consarrow_forward
