Answer:
C. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease
Explanation:
Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that means a child will acquire the phenotype or we can say disease only when both the alleles which cause disease are present in the child.
Here, in this condition neither parent has Tay-Sachs but they gave birth to a child who is suffering from the disease then it simply means that both the parents are carrier of this disease i.e. they both are heterozygous.
The cross and probability of healthy and diseased child is shown as under:
Mother Father
Parents Tt Tt
/ | | \
Off-springs TT Tt Tt tt
<u>Out of these 4 probable off-springs only 3 with genotype TT, Tt & Tt will be healthy while the 1 with genotype tt will be diseased.</u><u> </u><u>So, the probability of diseased child is 1/4 which is 25%. </u>
Also, the birth of children is an independent event so if one child has already been born with this disease then it doesn't mean that the next 3 children will be healthy for sure i.e. birth of first child cannot influence the next child. In short we can also say that in the next birth, there is still 25% chance of the child being born with this disease because previous birth has nothing to do with next birth.
Chromatid (Greek khrōmat- 'color' + -id) is one copy of a newly copied chromosome which is still joined to the original chromosome by a single centromere.
Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule. Following replication, each chromosome is composed of two DNA molecules; in other words, DNA replication itself increases the amount of DNA but does not increase the number of chromosomes. The two identical copies—each forming one half of the replicated chromosome—are called chromatids.[1]During the later stages of cell division these chromatids separate longitudinally to become individual chromosomes.[2]
Chromatid pairs are normally genetically identical, and said to be homozygous; however, if mutation(s) occur, they will present slight differences, in which case they are heterozygous. The pairing of chromatids should not be confused with the ploidy of an organism, which is the number of homologous versions of a chromosome.
Chromonema is the fibre-like structure in prophase in the primary stage of DNA condensation. In metaphase, they are called chromatids.
Two main functions of polysaccharides in living things are:
1. structural components
2. energy storage.
Those polysaccharides that are not easily broken down are used as structural components. Some of them are cellulose in plants and chitin in insects and crustacean.
On the other hand, starch and glycogen are easily broken down, so they serve as energy storage. <span>When energy is needed immediately, they break down to glucose and great amount of energy is released, </span>
Answer:
Each parent carries a gene for green (y) and a gene for yellow (Y). Place one parent's genes along the top of the Punnett square and the other parent's genes along the left side. Copy the genes down the columns and across the rows. Each of the four squares now shows a possible genotype combination
