A woman and man have approached you for genetic counseling and are concerned about a hereditary form of deafness in their family

. Both have normal hearing and there are no children. The woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness. Assume he is heterozygous. This hearing impairment displays onset at about age 10, and penetrance appears to be about 70%. There is no family history of deafness among the man's relatives. What is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Answer:

35% is the probability that the woman is a carrier of the deafness allele

Explanation:

Both man and woman have normal hearing

Woman's father has autosomal dominant sensory-neural deafness - Dd

Genotype of heterozygous Woman's father = Dd

Let us assume that woman’s mother has normal hearing = dd

Dd * dd

Dd, Dd, dd, dd

Two deaf and two normal offspring.  

Since the penetration is of 70%, the probability of woman being a carrier is  

½ * 70% = 0.35

The Phylogeny chart shows the evolution of camels. Camelus is the modern day cameo based on this chart which three statements ar
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

  1. Modern camels are more related to Camelops than to Aepycamelus.
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus may share similar feautres.
  3. Procamelus and Stenomylous may share similar features.

Explanation:

The chart given explains how the camels are evolved between Eocene (33 myo) and Pleistocene.

  1. According to the chart, modern-day camels (Camelus) are a closer phylogenetic relative of Camelops because they are clustered together in the Pleistocene age section. However, Aepycamelus is last recorded in the Upper Miocene and later became extinct (or no record is found in Pliocene and Pleistocene).
  2. Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus have a single ancestor "Protylopus" which can be seen in the Eocene age. Although Protylopus were branched to two species in upper Miocene, it is not difficult to believe that they share many genetic similarities (features) in both lineages.
  3. Similarly, Procamelus and Stenomylous are the descendants of Poebrotherium and got apart at the end of the Oligocene, therefore, they will also share several features similar to each other.
