"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.

A couple planning their family are aware that through the past three generations on the husband's side a substantial number of s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) There are lots of genes on chromosome 1 could be affected, and the gametes could be imbalanced (missing segments of DNA or whole chromosomes)

b) Roughly 50%

c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so that a zygote carrying the normal copy of chromosome 1 could be selected.

Explanation:

Chromosome 1 is one of the largest and most gene rich chromosomes. An inversion that covers 70% of its length would cover lots of genes.

While an inversion on its own would not seem problematic (as all the genes on the chromosome are still there), when it comes to meiosis, the sister chromatids would not be able to correctly align, and crossing over would further complicate this. It could also lead to unbalanced gametes missing entire parts of the chromosome. Therefore, there are likely numerous genes that will be affected and messed up by the inversion.

This could explain the high incidence of past still births, as if lots of genes are affected, and non-functional, the pregnancy would be rendered non-viable, or highly deleterious causing premature death.

b) There is a 50% chance of a child inheriting the defective copy of chromosome 1 (and 50% of a chance of them inheriting the normal chromosome 1. Therefore, there is likely a 50% chance that future offspring would be affected by defects

c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In this, the couple undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF). When embryos are produced through IVF, they can then be tested for the presence of the abnormal chromosome. Embryos will only be implanted into the mother if the normal chromosome 1 is present.
