 The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is due to the lack of expression of paternal genes of the 15q11-q13 region. It usually occurs sporadically, although some family cases have been described (<1%). Approximately 70% of cases are produced by deletions of paternal origin in the 15q11-q13 region. 28% of cases are due to maternal uniparental disomy and less than 2% are caused by imprinting alterations. A geneticist studying prader-willi syndrome should focus on chromosome 15, its structure or changes in the number, these anomalies are also related to other syndromes such as: Bloom Syndrome, Breast cancer, Isovaleric acidity among others.

The right answer is chromosome 15.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction associated with major hypotonia during the neonatal period and the first two years of life. From childhood to adulthood, the main problems are the appearance of hyperphagia with the risk of morbid obesity, learning difficulties and behavioral problems, even major psychiatric disorders.

In this syndrome, the affected region (15q11-q13) is located on the long arm of chromosome 15. On chromosome 15 of paternal origin, the genes of the 15q11-q13 region are functional, whereas they do not fulfill their function on chromosome 15 of maternal origin (inactivation by methylation).

When does differentiation begin in a human embryo? day 4-5 day 10 day 25-26 day 50
horsena [70]

Answer:

Option). 4-5 days.

Explanation:

Morula is a 4-5 days stage of early embryonic development. It represents a solid ball, having 16 cells, known as blastomeres. In human embryo, differentiation begins with morula stage, along with cleavage to form trophoblast (an outer layers of cell) and inner cell mass.

During development, trophoblast forms embryonic part of placenta and inner cell mass form respective structures of embryo.

Thus, the correct answer is option).4-5 days.

Expressions of a trait such as yellow versus green seeds are referred to as ?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

a) varieties

b) phenotypes

c) genotypes

d) factors

e) alleles

The answer is B (phenotypes)

Explanation:

The phenotype of an organism refers to all observable traits it possesses. It refers to the physical characteristics of an organism as opposed to the content of its genes called genotype. Although, the traits an organism expresses is largely dependent on what is contained in its genome i.e. genotype determines phenotype.

Observable traits includes colour (yellow and green as mentioned in the question), height (tall or short), shape (round or wrinkled). An organism like plant will show or express a yellow colour (phenotype) when the yellow allele of the colour coding gene in its genetic makeup (genotype) is dominant.
