There is no way to test fc VResearchers discovered recently that the sole functionof the SRY protein is to activate an autosomal genecalled Sox9 in the presumptive gonad (before it has“decided” to become a testis or an ovary).a. What would be the sex of an XY individual homozygous for nonfunctional mutant alleles of Sox9?Explain.b. Given your answer to part (a), why is SRY, ratherthan Sox9, considered the male determining factor?(Hint: What do you think would happen if you didan experiment like the one in the Fast Forward BoxTransgenic Mice Prove That SRY Is the MalenessFactor, except that you used a Sox9 transgeneinstead of SRY?)Question 7 Which of the following is inconsistent (not consistent) with inheritance of a maternal effect trait? A) Progeny from the same parents have the same maternal effect phenotype as each other but not their mother. B) Progeny can show a recessive phenotype even though the progeny have dominant genotypes. C) Both parents contribute recessive alleles to an offspring yet it has a dominant phenotype for the maternal effect trait. D) Progeny from the same parents have different traits related to the maternal effect gene in question. CS Scanned with CamScanner
- In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?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?
- Familial 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?A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally. What if the couple wanted prenatal testing so that a normal fetus could be aborted?A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism.

Should the parents be concerned about the heterozygous condition as well as the homozygous mutant condition?Congenital hypertrichosis (CH) is a very rare X-linked dominant inherited condition. CH is characterized by the growth of dark hair over the body. CH is so rare, only 50 cases have been identified since the Middle Ages. The incidence of this condition is considerably higher in a small Mexican village (from which the partial pedigree below is derived) than the rest of the human population.
