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 pregnant mouse is exposed to high levels of a chemical. Many of the mice in her litter are deformed, but when they are interbr
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are- a) In the deformed mice, somatic cells but not germ cells were mutated and  d) The toxic chemical affects development but is not mutagenic.

Explanation:

Mutation in the somatic cells do not pass in the offsprings and the only mutation in the germ cells can pass to the offspring because offspring are produced by the fertilization between different germ cells. Somatic cell mutation can only cause deformation in individuals but their offspring will be like normal offsprings.

The other cause may be that the toxic chemical used don't cause any mutation but just affect the development of mice so in this case genetic material will remain in normal state in deformed mouse and they will able to produce normal offsprings. So the right answer is a and d.
