11. John is suffering from both autosomal dominant deafness (D) and achondroplastic dwarfism (A) and has married to a normal woman. Assuming that: a) P=1 for both traits; b) these genes are 20 cM apart on chromosome 9, and c) his father had dwarfism and his mother was deaf, what is the chance that their first child would have both traits? A. 10% B.40% C.45% D.50% E.80% F.100%
Homework Answers
Answer: Option A is correct
Explanation:
John's father = D_aa
John's mother = ddA_
John = DdAa
John's wife = ddaa
Parental cross: DdAa X ddaa
Progeny: DdAa Ddaa ddAa ddaa
It is given that both genes are 20 cM apart on the same
chromosome.
D and a are present on paternal chromsome.
d and A are present on maternal chromosome.
i.e. both loci are in repulsion.
Parental combinations = 40%
Recombinants = 20%
So, progeny probabilities are,
DdAa = 10%
Ddaa = 40%
ddAa = 40%
ddaa = 10%
The probability for a child to acquire both the disorders = D_A_ = 10%

2. Achondroplasia is a short-limbed dwarfism that is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease. The mutant allele that causes this form of dwarfism (D) is dominant to the normal allele at this location (d). Individuals who inherit 2 alleles for dwarfism (DD) typically have a very severe form of achondroplasia that causes extreme shortening of the bones and an underdeveloped rib cage. These individuals are usually miscarried or stillborn. Tom and Vonna both have achondroplasia (but each of them has...

A man, Rajiv, and a woman, Mengqi, were both born deaf. Only Rajiv has now died of old age. Together, Rajiv and Mengqi had two sons (Aiden and Ramesh) who were also born deaf. Aiden is married to Prudence who has normal hearing but their son, Bolin, was born deaf. Prudence is currently pregnant with their second child. Ramesh is married to Eva who has normal hearing and is pregnant with their first child. In the broader population, the frequency...

Procedure 8.6 PREDICTING INHERITANCE John has a double row of eyelashes, which he inherited from his mother as a dominant trait. His mother has this trait. His maternal grandfather is the only other relative to have the trait. Veronica, a woman with normal eyelashes, falls in love with John's eyelashes and they marry. Their first child, Anna, has normal eyelashes. Now Veronica is pregnant again and hopes for a child with a double row of eyelashes. 1. Draw a pedigree...

You are consulting with a family where sometimes a mutation that leads to deafness (D) and a mutation that predisposes individuals to early heart failure (H) are linked. Normally these two traits sort independently but, in some individuals, a reciprocal translocation has moved them to the same chromosome. The chromosome maps for an individual with two normal chromosome pairs (Normal Arrangement), and a translocation heterozygote (Translocation Arrangement) are shown below. Deafness and early heart failure are both inherited in a...
