A woman, S.R., had a maternal grandfather with hemophilia A (OMIM 306700), an X-linked recessive condition that reduces blood cl

otting. S.R.’s maternal grandmother and paternal grandparents are free of the condition, as is her partner, his parents, and his grandparents. S.R. has no siblings. She wants to know the chance that a son of hers will have the condition.

Answer:

Hemophilia is a x-linked recessive inherited bleeding  disorder. in this disease blood does not clot properly due to the decreased level of blood clotting factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9).

In x-linked recessive condition, the disease is transmitted from father (affected male) to his daughter and mother (affected female) to her son and skip of generation getting affected is also occurs.

  • there will be 50% chance of her (S.R.) each son to be affected with hemophilia.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is caused due to mutation of one gene which is responsible for the making of proteins of  blood coagulation factor viii or ix. the affected person bleeds continuously from any injury and that can cause serious issues.

here,

grandfather of s.r is affected (xₐy) and grandmother is normal (xx) will produce

                                                   ↓

 s.r's mother who is a carrier (xₐx) [as xₐy and xx will produce 100% carrier xₐx daughter]

                                                    ↓

s.r's mother is a carrier (xₐx) but her father is normal (xy) will produce,

                                                   ↓

s.r who has 50% chance of being carrier (xₐx) and 50% chance of being normal (xx) [as she is the only child] and she has a normal (xy) partner, they will give,

                                                     ↓

  1. if s.r is a carrier (xₐx) then one of her son will be affected (xₐy)   [as xₐx and xy =xₐy]
  2. if s.r is normal (xx) then her son will be normal (xy) [as xx and xy will give xy]

here,<u> 50% chance of her son to be affected with hemophilia</u> [as S.R of being affected is more considerable].

<span>The answer is c. Chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of proteins and DNA. Codes for hereditary traits are present in a molecule of DNA. Chromosomes can be found in the nucleus of each cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell (not 460) arranged in 23 pairs (not 230). Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

Imagine that a eukaryotic cell carries a mutation that causes the poly(a) tail to rarely be added to the primary transcripts. The result of such a mutation will be the primary transcript would likely be less stable, and its transport from the nucleus to the cytoplasm would be affected.

A mutation is a change to an organism's DNA sequence. Errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens, or viral infection can all cause mutations.

While most mutations are benign, some can be detrimental. A dangerous mutation may lead to a cancerous condition or possibly a genetic problem. Chromosome mutations are yet another type of mutation. The tiny, thread-like structures known as chromosomes, which are found in the cell nucleus, carry genes.

Genetic mutations, which occur as your cells divide and generate duplicates of themselves, are modifications to your DNA sequence. Your DNA teaches your body how to develop and work. Genetic changes may result in diseases like cancer or, in the long run, may enable people to adapt to their environment more successfully.
