In humans, there are 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes 22 pairs are autosomes and one pair is sex chromosome each chromosome have 2 copies ( in males there are 2different sex chromosomes, X and Y, males have 2 copies for each of the autosomes). Genes are located on the chromosomes, each copy of the chromosomes have the alleles of the gene, alleles are variants of a gene.
human recessive disorders are those diseases, which are caused by the recessive alleles that is both alleles of an individual has to be in the recessive condition.
example: Tay-Sachs disease, individuals who are affected with the Tay-Sachs disease has to have recessive mutant allele of the gene on the chromosomes.
dominant disorders: are genetic disorders caused by a dominant mutant allele, so the individual will be affected even if only one copy of the dominant allele is present.
example: Huntington disease.
17. Briefly compare human recessive disorders to human dominant disorders. Your answer should include one example...
Briefly describe what an allele is, then discuss the differences between dominant and recessive alleles. Provide an example of each type of allele in your discussion. Your response must be a minimum of 75 words.
12. The personality disorders include symptoms that are sometimes shared by related disorders. Please compare and contrast the following pairs: (a) Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; (b) Paranoid Personality Disorder with Schizophrenia with paranoid delusions; (c) Borderline Personality Disorder with Bipolar Mood Disorder; and (d) Dissociative Amnestic Disorder from Major Neurocognitive Disorder of the Alzheimer's type. Be sure that your responses include the major defining aspects of each of these disorders (e.g., diagnostic criteria). DISith s
Show the formulas and functions you use to obtain your answers and give your answers to four significant figures In genetics, two hybrid parents each with one dominant and one recessive gene for some trait) should produce 75% of their offspring with the dominant trait (25% pure, 50% hybr id) and 25% with the recessive trait. Consider 400 offspring of a pair of hybrid laboratory plants and use the binomial distribution until asked to do otherwise What is the expeoted...
A human disease known as cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait. For example, the possible outcomes of a child inheriting cystic fibrosis genes are CC Cc cC cc if the child’s parents had one copy of each version of the gene so the probability of having a disease is ¼. Find the probability that 3 out of 6 children of these parents will have a cystic fibrosis.
Which of the following is an example of epistasis? Select one: a. Homozygous recessive Drosophila females for gene w have white eyes. When crossed to red eye males, all the females have red eyes and all the males have white eyes. b. A man with blood type A marries a woman who is type B. Their firstborn's blood type is 0 C. Smurfberry bushes that are Homozygous dominant for gene S produce tall plants. Homozygous recessive plants show a dwarf...
Question 4. Several different human antigens can be detected in blood tests. The following traits were tested for each individual shown below. Assume NO Bombay phenotype or carriers and all blood types assort independently. Rh type K type ABO type μ and 18 codominant, i recessive; MN type Xea) type Duffy type FvA and FyB codominant, Fy recessive to FyA & FyB The phenotvpes for the individuals are shown below Mother Daughter 1 Daughter 2 Alleged father1 Alleged father 2...
In simple Mendelian inheritance alleles display a simple dominant/recessive relationship. There are many exceptions to Mendelian laws of inheritance. Most genes have more than two allelic forms and do not exhibit simple Mendelian inheritance. The human ABO antigens are an example of a multiple allelic trait. There are three ABO blood group antigens, IA, IB and i. The i allele is recessive to both IA and IB. A person who is homozygous ii has type O blood and does not...
Give an example of a mutagen carcinogen and a non mutagen carcinogen. Briefly compare and contrast between them(can be bullet points). What are the means of exposure of each chemical and the type of cancer each causes (can be bullet points)?
Briefly describe basic chemistry of the following human body processes in 30-40 words each) and provide one (1) example of chemical reaction related to each. Metabolism Respiration
Compare and contrast the following gastrointestinal disorders: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, and Crohn’s Disease. In your answer, be sure to include what is similar about these conditions, and what is different. Be sure to comment on the etiology of these conditions, the location of impact, pathogenesis, and signs and symptoms. Discuss some of the varying treatment options for each condition.
