The IgF-2R gene is autosomal and maternally imprinted. Copies of the gene inherited from your mother are silenced whereas those from your father are expressed. There are two alleles of this gene that can be followed because they encode two different forms of the IgF-2R gene that can be distinguished by size – one is 60K and the other is 50K. Tom and Betty have two children Jack and Jill. Tom has the 50K protein, Betty has the 60K protein, Jack has the 60K protein and Jill has the 50K protein. What are the possible genotypes of Tom and Betty? Jack has two children. One has the 50K protein and the other has the 60K protein. What are the genotypes of Tom and Betty?

1 What is an imprinted gene? Select one: a. A gene that is found on a Barr body b. A gene that is silenced upon inheritance from a designated parent c. A gene that is inherited from only one parent d. A gene that is encoded on only one of the two copies of a chromosome Question 2 Which of the following is NOT a typical characteristic of cancer? Select one: a. Malignant cancers are typically not able to metastasize...
As you may remember from basic biology, the human A/B/O blood type system is controlled by one gene for which 3 variants (“alleles”) are common in the human population – unsurprisingly called A, B, and O. As with most genes, everyone has 2 copies of this gene, one inherited from the mother and the other from the father, and everyone passes a randomly selected copy to each of their children (probability 1/2 for each copy, independently for each child). Focusing...
Creating a pedigree chart from a family history and hypothesizing pattern of inheritance A family with a new disease caused by a mutant gene has been found. The family history has been collected and recorded. You will now create a pedigree chart from their family history and use the pedigree to predict the pattern of inheritance the disease follows. • Read the following family history: Patient 1 and Patient 2 visited a genetics counselor and provided their family histories. As...
Styles 6. Insert a picture of your pedigree chart for this family with genotypes filled in here. 7. Which pattern of inheritance do you think the disease shows? Explain your reasoning. 8. Patient 1 and Patient 2 in the pedigree chart would like to know what the chances are that they will have a child with the disease. What do you tell them? Use a Punnett Square to show your work. Using Punnett Squares for human conditions and diseases The...
