If a centromere probe is used in FISH analysis how many spots will light up in the cells of an individual with trisomy 21?

Biology
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

There will be three spots that will light up.

Explanation:

There is a research paper published which demonstrated the trisomy of 21 chromosome. They found out that there are total three spots that light up in Trisomy 21 (down's syndrome's fetus). I have attached picture from research paper and provided the reference below.

Reference

(Davies, A. F., Barber, L., Murer-Orlando, M., Bobrow, M., & Adinolfi, M. (1994). FISH detection of trisomy 21 in interphase by the simultaneous use of two differentially labelled cosmid contigs. Journal of medical genetics, 31(9), 679-685)

When you a red bird mates with a white bird mate all the offspring have pink feathers. What can best explain this observation?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of non-mendelian inheritance pattern in which one allele of a gene is not dominant or recessive to the other allele, hence, both alleles combine to form a third intermediate phenotype, which is a blending of both parental phenotypes.

In this case, a red bird (RR) mates with a white bird (WW) to produce offsprings that have pink feathers (RW). This shows that the allele for red coloration is incompletely dominant to the allele for white coloration, hence, both combines to produce a PINK (RW) intermediate phenotype. This portrays incomplete dominance.

A study is done on a group of families in Sweden that are segregating a genetic disorder. A statistical estimate of whether two
sammy [17]

Answer:

This disorder is caused by mutations in either of two different genes; one of these genes is linked to the DNA marker locus and the other gene is not.

Explanation:

A gene marker (also known as a molecular marker) is defined as a particular DNA sequence that has a specific physical location on a given chromosome. The gene markers are always physically linked with genes of interest, thereby they are useful for identifying patients affected by a given disease and/or a particular phenotypic trait. In this case, in the first study, genetic variation of the marker has been shown to be useful to map one <em>locus</em> that is associated with the disease phenotype. However, in the second study, a second <em>locus</em> that is not linked to the marker can segregate independently, thereby showing different results from the first study (in this case, it is imperative to develop a new genetic linkage analysis to discover genetic markers linked to the second gene, which is also responsible for the disease phenotype).

A. What is the diploid number of the species shown in Figure 1?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

I hope this helps you

Explanation:

1)This number is abbreviated as 2n where n stands for the number of chromosomes. For humans, the diploid chromosome number equation is 2n = 46 because humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes (22 sets of two autosomal or non-sex chromosomes and one set of two sex chromosomes).

2)Under normal conditions, the haploid number is exactly half the total number of chromosomes present in the organism's somatic cells. For diploid organisms, the monoploid number and haploid number are equal; in humans, both are equal to 23.
