and loss of coordination. The allele for DMD is represented by Xd and the normal allele is represented by XD . Neither parent has DMD, but both of their sons express the trait. What are the genotypes of the parents?

Answer:

The correct answer is - XDXd and XD Y

Explanation:

Sex-linked disorders are the disorders that are expressed only when there is two copy of the mutated allele or have not masked by the dominant allele of the gene. In DMD, the dominant allele is XD and the mutated allele is Xd. To express it there are the following genotype possible-

in women XdXd, and in men XdY, so these two genotypes are not possible for the parents in this case. If a mutated allele is present with the dominant allele it will be considered as carrier women but diseased will not be found in them.

So the correct genotype would be

mother: XDXd ( a carrier woman)

father : XDY (normal man)

Maslowich

Option A, The pressures of a hatchery environment and of the wild environment select for different traits.


The various pressures in wild environment include the competition for food and survival, threat of prey etc. The effect of domestication on salmon can also be a reason for its low productivity in wild environment. Some other factors that might have affected the regular productivity of salmon in wild environment include- captive rearing, inbreeding among close relatives and ability of some fish to adapt to the unique hatchery environment.
