In humans alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in whichaffected persons produce black urine. Alkapotonuria results from anallele

(a) that is recessive to the allele for normal metabolism(A). Sally has a normal metabolism, but her brother hasalcaptonuria. Sally's father has alcoptonuria, and her mother hasnormal metabolism.
a) Give the genotype of Sally,her mother,father and herbrother.
b) If Sally's parents have another child what is theprobabilty that this child will have alkaptonuria?
c) If Sally marries a man with alkaptonuria, what is theprobability that their child will have alkaptonuria?

Answer:

a) The genotype of her father = "aa".

The genotype of her mother = "Aa".

The genotype of Sally is "Aa".  

b) 1/2

c) 1/2

Explanation:

a) Sally's father has alkaptonuria. So, the genotype of her father is "aa". Her mother is normal. Since her brother is affected by the disease, he should be homozygous recessive (aa). This means that the mother also has one copy of "a" allele and is heterozygous dominant (Aa). A cross between Aa (mother) and aa (father) would give 50% affected progeny with "Aa" genotype. So, the genotype of Sally is "Aa".  

b) The genotype of her mother= Aa

The genotype of her father = aa

Aa x aa = 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)

So, if Sally's parents have another child, there is a 1/2 probability that this child will have alkaptonuria.  

c) The genotype of Sally = Aa

Genotype of the man Sally marries= aa (since he is affected with alkaptonuria)

Aa x aa= 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)

There is a 1/2 probability that their child will have alkaptonuria.

Ugo [173]
The answer to this question would be: electron microscope

Cilia is a part of the paramecium membrane that looks like hairy projection. The size of cilia is too small to be examined closely using the light microscope. In this case, the electron microscope can provide a bigger magnification.

There are 2,000 mice living in a field. If 1,000 mice are born each month and 200 mice die each month, what is the per capita gr
Ivan

For 2,000 mice living in a field,  the per capita growth rate  is mathematically given as

NT=0.4

<h3>What is the per capita growth rate (rmax) of mice over a month?</h3>

Generally,  the birth and death rate  is mathematically given as

BT=1000/2000

BT=0.5

Where

DT=200/2000

DT=0.1

In conclusion, per capita growth rate

NT=0.5-0.1

NT=0.4
