8. The gene for colourblindness is 15 map units from the gene for muscular dystrophy, and both genes are on the X-chromosome. Recessive mutations result in colourblindness or muscular dystrophy. A woman whose father was colourblind and whose mother's father had muscular dystrophy marries a colourblind man. Their first son is colourblind. The probability that he also has muscular dystrophy is: a) 50% b) 7.5% c) 3.75% d) 15% e) none of the above

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive condition affecting humans. It is a major form of muscular dystrophy. A female is a carrier (unaffected) and she has children with an unaffected man, and they have a boy. What is the percent probability that the boy will have the Duchenne muscular dystrophy disease? Enter your answer as a percentage value rounded to the nearest whole number. Do not enter a % sign. (i.e. enter 75, not 0.75 or 3/4)

A dominant allele that causes a form of muscular dystrophy is known to be 80% penetrant. 100 children are born to parents having the following genotypes: Mm X mm. How many of these children do you expect will have this type of muscular dystrophy? Describe how you came to this number. What is one possible explanation for the reduced penetrance (HINT: the answer to this last part of the question can be fairly general)?

Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is characterized by a lack of dystrophin. When utilizing a KO mouse model, you want to see if introducing the dystrophin gene can rescue the DMD mouse model. Propose a mechanism to (re)introduce dystrophin back into the KO mouse.
8. The gene for colourblindness is 15 map units from the gene for muscular dystrophy, and both genes are on the X-chromosome. Recessive mutations result in colourblindness or muscular dystrophy.
