Achondroplasia is a common form of dwarfism caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3

(FGFR3) gene. Two copies of the mutant gene are invariably fatal before or shortly after birth. If a person with achondroplasia marries a person of normal height, what is the probability that they will have a child with achondroplasia?

<h2>Symptoms of Achondroplasia</h2>

Explanation:

  • Achondroplasia is caused about by a quality change (transformation) in the <em>FGFR3 gene</em>
  • The <em>FGFR3 quality</em> makes a protein called fibroblast development factor <em>receptor 3 </em>that is engaged with changing over ligament to bone
  • <em>FGFR3</em> is the main quality known to be related with <em>achondroplasia Achondroplasia</em> is acquired in an autosomal predominant example, which implies one duplicate of the adjusted quality in every cell is adequate to<em> cause the confusion</em>
  • In the rest of the cases, individuals with <em>achondroplasia </em>have acquired an adjusted <em>FGFR3 quality</em> from a couple of <em>affected parents</em>

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

In the pedigree analysis, the description of a trait help shows the relation of a trait linked to a gene.

The pedigree analysis is usually used to determine the heredity of a disease in a family which has been described in the question also as

1. The trait is rare and present in both sexes- this shows that it is independent of sex chromosomes and since is rare is recessive.

2.  A consanguineous mating- mating between close relative which result in autosomal recessive trait as the genes for the trait must be present on both the parents which happen only when they are closely related.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

artcher [175]

Answer:

a domain

Explanation:

The domains are the basic units of the proteins, they are polypeptide segments (about 30 -200 amino acids) that have a defined tertiary structure and play specific biological functions including, for example, enzymatic and structural activities. Protein domains are evolutionary conserved, it means that these polypeptide segments can be found in phylogenetically related species and share sequence homology. Examples of protein domains include the zinc finger and the helix-turn-helix domains which are involved in protein-DNA interactions of transcription factors.
