For the given situation above, I'm afraid I cannot answer your question since a pedigree chart isn't provided along with the question. You can resubmit your question together with the chart and we'll analyze it. Thank you for posting though. Here is what pedigree analysis is about.
Scientists have devised an approach, called pedigree analysis<span>, to study the inheritance of genes in humans. Pedigree analysis is also useful when studying any population when progeny data from several generations is limited. Pedigree analysis is also useful when studying species with a long generation time.</span>
Answer:
Some of these proteins serve to transport materials into or out of the cell. Carbohydrates are attached to some of the proteins and lipids on the outward-facing surface of the membrane. These form complexes that function to identify the cell to other cells.
If I were hired as a genetic counselor to advise a couple about the odds of the couple having a baby with a genetic disorder and I wanted to order lab tests to be done on the pregnant mother to determine if the baby has a genetic disorder (amniocentesis)-what kind of test would be done? How would the test determine if the baby has a genetic disorder or not? If it is determined that the couple's baby has a genetic disorder, then what advice should I provide to that couple? Why? What if the couple went against my advice? Whose advice (mine-the genetic counselor representing science or the couple representing society) should be considered?
