The major features of
schizoaffective disorder which clearly delineate it from schizophrenia are marked
symptoms of schizophrenia coupled with major depressive episode or manic
episode. Both schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia are primary psychotic
disorders.
Approximately 50% of human genome is composed of repetitive sequences. It contains approximately 3 billion of these base pairs that reside with 23 pairs of chromosome within the nucleus or our cells or called nucleotides. Genes in the genomes of invertebrates such as Drosophila is not like the human genes because the human genes contain more and larger introns than the genes in the genomes. The human genes are larger than the genes in the genomes. The genome sequence is ~99.9% similar in individuals of all nationalities. Complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid of a single cell of an organism or sequence for humans (Homo sapiens) is called Genome. It includes both protein-coding deoxyribonucleic acid genes and noncoding deoxyribonucleic acid.
Answer:
A. Grandmother.
B. 0
Explanation:
A. If there is no history of the disease in the family, there were only female unaffected genetic carriers. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disease linked to the X chromosome, all man with the mutation will display the disease, since they have only one X chromosome (XY). Women have XX, so, if they inherit an abnormal dystrophin gene, but they have a normal allele on the other X chromosome, they won´t develop the muscular dystrophy.
B. The problem does not state that the woman is a carrier, so, the probability of having a child affected is zero. The disease is linked to the X chromosome, so, sons will not be affected, and daughters would have a copy of the mutated gene, but will not display the symptoms.
