- A RFLP is discovered that is linked to the gene for Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is an X-linked, recessive trait. The RFLP is 2 map units from the gene for DMD. Consider the following pedigree and Southern blot using a probe that hybridizes to the RFLP. Which band/s is/are associated with DMD? What is the genotype for individuals 3 and 4? (Remember, this is an X linked disease, so use X’s and Y’s to denote). Individual 9 married a man who does NOT have muscular dystrophy, and she is pregnant. DMD is an X-linked trait. What is the probability for their child to have DMD? An amniocentesis is performed and it is determined that 9’s child in utero has only a 10 kb band that hybridizes to the same probe used above. What can you say about the child now?arrow_forwardWhat advantages do anonymous DNA markers afford for genetic mapping as opposed to traditional allelic markers associated with visible phenotypes?

- Wild-type strains of the haploid fungus Neurospora canmake their own tryptophan. An abnormal allele td renders the fungus incapable of making its own tryptophan.An individual of genotype td grows only when its medium supplies tryptophan. The allele su assorts independently of td; its only known effect is to suppress the tdphenotype. Therefore, strains carrying both td and su donot require tryptophan for growth.a. If a td ; su strain is crossed with a genotypically wildtype strain, what genotypes are expected in the progenyand in what proportions?b. What will be the ratio of tryptophan-dependent totryptophan-independent progeny in the cross of part a?arrow_forwardA man of blood group A is being sued by a woman of blood group B for paternity.
