- To play Jeopardy, the answer is given. You must supply the question. Choose the best question for the following answer: Two recessive mutations in two different genes are united in one cell and the cell shows wild-type phenotype as both mutants are in the heterozygous state. O What is suppressor? O What is incomplete dominance? OWhat is complementation? What is co-dominance?There are six types of agglutinogen named C,D, E and c,d,e.the first three are dominant and last three are recessive.discussFamilial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?
- In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a disease that manifests in muscle weakness. It exhibits X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. The dystrophin gene is large and can have many different mutations along the DNA. From the following mutations between the gene sequence (DNA template strand) of a healthy male and an affected brother determine if they would affect the production of mRNA or the sequence of the protein. Base your analysis on the position of the mutation in the transcription unit, and the impact of the change on the codons. Mutation 1: Position -6 Healthy individual A Affected brother C Group of answer choices A. Normal mRNA, normal protein B. No mRNA produced (promoter affected) C. Abnormal mRNA, affected protein D. Normal mRNA, affected protein Base your analysis on the position of the mutation in the transcription unit, and the impact of the change on the codons.Fragile X syndrome why is interesting Fragile X syndrome What are the symptoms or characteristics of this disorder or trait? What is the prevalence of the trait or disorder? What are the main genetic factors? s the genetic cause of this disorder or trait known? What gene(s) have been proven to be involved? Or, if not known, what genes are thought to be involved? Is it caused by a single gene? polygenic? Multifactorial? Devote a few paragraphs to this This could be one of the longest parts of the paper, if you choose to focus on this. If multiple genes are thought to be involved, discuss the specific role of at least one of them in depth (if known). Is the gene you’re discussing thought to play a major or a minor role in the phenotype? What chromosome is it on? What protein does it code for, and how might the protein possibly contribute to the phenotype? If no genes have yet been identified, indicate this, and devote at least one paragraph to any current efforts to determine which…
- Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that exhibitshaploinsufficiency. A recent survey showed that people heterozygousfor mutations at the BLM locus are at increased risk of colon cancer.Suppose you are a genetic counselor. A young woman is referred to youwhose mother has Bloom syndrome; the young woman’s father has nofamily history of Bloom syndrome. The young woman asks whether sheis likely to experience any other health problems associated with herfamily history of Bloom syndrome. What advice would you give her?Why is it difficult to study whether a trait is due to epigenetic changes or due to something else? (Hint: What are the other things that may cause disease?) (Minimum of 2 complete sentences.)A young lady requested pre-marital genetic counselling because her sister had died in infancy of gangliosidosis, an autosomal recessive disease. What is the risk that this young lady has similarly affected offspring? What advice should be given?
- A couple is planning a family, but since each has a brother having the sickle-cell disorder, they are worried that their kids might develop the disorder too. Neither of them nor their respective parents have the disorder. Which of the following will be your smartest advice as a genetic counsellor? One of four of their children can be expected to have sickle cell. It is possible that none of their kids will have the disorder, but tests should be carried out on both of them to confirm. All of their children will have sickle-cell disorder. There is no chance of any of their kids having sickle cell.A recessive mutation pd causes purple eyes in Drosophila, in contrast to the wildtype red eyes. A dominant suppressor called Su can restore the color of pd/pd fly eyes to red. If you cross a pd/+ ; Su/+ fly to a pd/pd ; +/+ fly, what proportion of the offspring will have purple eyes? A recessive mutation pd causes purple eyes in Drosophila, in contrast to the wildtype red eyes. A dominant suppressor called Su can restore the color of pd/pd fly eyes to red. If you cross a pd/+ ; Su/+ fly to a pd/pd ; +/+ fly, what proportion of the offspring will have purple eyes? a. 1/8 b. 1/16 c.1/2 d. 3/16 e. 1/3 f. 3/4 g. 15/16 h. 2/3 i. 1/4A 20-year-old woman comes to your genetic counselling center because she knows that Huntington disease occurs in members of her family. Huntington is an autosomal dominant disease that often becomes apparent around 35–40 years of age. Her paternal grandfather was afflicted, but so far her 41 year old father shows no symptoms. Her two great-great grandmothers on her father's side were healthy well into their 90s, and one of her great-great grandfathers died of unknown causes at 45. Testing for Huntington disease is extremely expensive, but she is concerned that she may fall victim to this disease and wants to plan her life accordingly. After examining her pedigree you advise her to: not get tested because her father is only a carrier and it is very unlikely her mother is a carrier. not get tested because there is no possibility that she is homozygous. get tested because her father could be a carrier. not get tested because only males in her family get the disease. not get tested…
