A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was six

feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal color vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes?

Answer:

1/4.

Explanation:

The autosomal dominant trait means that the trait is visible in homozygous dominant and in heterozygous condition. The X linked recessive trait will be pass down from mothers to their sons and daughters will show the trait in homozygous recessive condition only.

The man is achandroplastic dwarf ( Aa) with normal vision (XY ) is married with woman that has normal height (aa) with color blind (XhXh). They have a daughter who is dwarf ( Aa). The probability of being dwarf can be calculated by the cross Aa × aa. The offspring are Aa, Aa, aa, aa. Means 1/2 are the probability of being hetterozygous for achondroplastic . The vision probability is calculated by cross XY and XhXHh. The probability that female is heterozygous is 1/2.

So, the heterozygous probability for both trait is 1/2× 1/2 = 1/4.

Genes located on mitochondrial dna are usually inherited. True or False
docker41 [41]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Mitochondria is present in almost all the eukaryotes and it contains its own DNA as its genetic material which is double-stranded and circular. The gene located on mitochondrial DNA are inherited only by mothers to their offspring.

As the mitochondrial DNA is transported from the female ovum therefore only mother can transfer the mitochondrial DNA to their children however some theories say that even the paternal mitochondrial gene can be transferred to offspring under some specialized condition.

Therefore it is true that genes located on mitochondrial DNA are usually inherited by mothers in their offsprings.

Ian waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his _____ pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb posi
ANEK [815]
<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his lemniscus pathway. </span>

The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).
