Alkaptonuria is an infrequent autosomal recessive condition. It is first noticed in newborns when the urine in their diapers turns black upon exposure to air. The condition is caused by the defective transport of the amino acid phenylalanine through the intestinal walls during digestion. About 4 people per 1000 are carriers of alkaptonuria. Sara and James had never heard of alkaptonuria and were shocked to discover that their first child had the condition. Sara's sister Mary and her husband Frank are planning to have a family and are concerned about the possibility of alkaptonuria in one of their children.

The four adults (Sara, James, Mary, and Frank) seek information from a neighbor who is a retired physician.After discussing their family histories, the neighbor says, " I never took genetics, but I know from my many years in practice that Sara and James are both carriers of this recessive condition. Since their first child had the condition, there is a very low chance that the next child will also have it, because the odds of having two children with a recessive condition are very low. Mary and Frank have no chance of having a child with alkaptonuria because Frank has no family history of the condition."The two couples each have babies and both babies have alkaptonuria.

Required:
a. What is the probability that the second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria?
b. What is the chance that the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition?
c.The couples are worried that one of their grandchildren will inherit alkaptonuria.
d. What is the chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history?
e.The couples are worried that one of their grandchildren will inherit alkaptonuria.
f. What is the chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.

Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.

Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.

                    Aa     x     Aa

Progeny:    AA    2Aa    aa

Probability of being affected = 1/4

Probability of being a carrier = 1/2

Probability of not being affected = 3/4

(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2

(b) The chance that  the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4

(c)

(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.

                 AA     x     aa

                        4 Aa

The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history = 0

(e)

(f) The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history = 0

Answer 2

Assuming a single diallelic gene that express complete dominance is coding for the condition, A) 1/4 = 25% / B) 3/4 = 75% / C) 100% or 50% depending on the mates genotype.

---------------------------

Available data:

Alkaptonuria is an infrequent autosomal recessive conditionSara and James have no Alkaptonuria, but had a child expresing  the condition.Mary and Frank had a child expressing  the condition.The two couples each have babies and both babies have alkaptonuria

We will assume that the gene coding for this trait is diallelic, and that expresses complete dominance, following the Mendelian inheritance pattern. So, let us say that

Allele A is dominant over a and expresses normal phenotypeAllele a is the recessive one and expresses alkaptonuria

                   Genotype                           Phenotype                                    

                       AA                                     Normal

                       Aa                                      Normal carrier

                       aa                                      Alkaptonuria                              

Since Sara and James had an affected child, we can assume they are both heter0zyg0us for the trait. The child inherited one recessive allele from Sara and one recessive allele from James.

We know that Frank has no family history of the condition. However, the allele could be present in his family, hidden by dominant alleles in heter0zyg0us state.

And because Mary and Frank also had an affected child, we can also assume they are heter0zyg0us for the trait, providing each one recessive allele to the baby.

So both crosses would be the same, between two heter0zyg0us individuals.

So let us analyze the crosses and the probabilities of getting affected and healthy children.

Cross)    Mother    x      Father

Parentals)    Aa      x        Aa

Gametes)    A     a         A      a

Punnett square)      A              a

                  A         AA            Aa

                   a         Aa             aa

F1)  Genotypes

1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zygous dominant, AA1/2 = 50% of the progey is expected to be heter0zyg0us, Aa1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive, aa.

      Phenotypes

3/4 = 75% of the progeny is expected to express normal phenotype (AA + Aa)1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to express alkaptonuria (aa)

a. What is the probability that the second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria?

The probabilities of having an affected child is always 1/4 = 25%.

This means that every time they are having a baby, the chances for that child to express the condition is 25%.

The genotype is this child will be aa.

                                                       ****

b. What is the chance that the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition?

The probabilities of having a normal child is always 3/4 = 75%.

This means that every time they are having a baby, the chances for that child to express the normal phenotype is 75%.

This child could be either AA or Aa.

                                                       ****

The couples are worried that one of their grandchildren will inherit alkaptonuria.

d. What is the chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history?

There are two options.

Option 1

The genotype of the affected child is aa.

If this person's mate is h0m0zyg0us dominant, AA, the probabilities of having an affected child is 0%.

Cross:  affected child   x   h0m0zyg0us dominant unaffected mate

Parentals)   aa   x   AA

F2) 100% Aa ⇒ 100% healthy children and carriers

Option 2

The genotype of the affected child is aa.

If this person's mate is heter0zyg0us Aa, the probabilities of having an affected child is 50%.

Cross:  affected child   x   heter0zyg0us unaffected mate

Parentals)   aa   x   Aa

F2)  50% Aa ⇒ healthy children and carryiers

       50% aa ⇒ affected children

So, the chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate is normal, depends on the mates genotype,

h0m0zyg0us dominant ⇒ 100% normal childrenheter0zyg0us ⇒ 50% normal children and 50% affected children

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food(in form of sugar) using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. This is possible because of the presence of  chlorophyll which creates a medium to absorb the sun's energy. The Light energy formed then converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and  sugars.

The chemical equation to represent the process is as follows

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Which amino acids have side chains that fit into the specificity pocket of chymotrypsin?

Answers

Answer:

The aromatic amino acids; Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine

Amino acids with bulky side chains; Leucine and Methionine

Explanation:

Chymotrypsin is a member of the serine proteases, which is family of enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds through the action of an active site serine.

Chymotrypsin cleaves peptide bonds on the C-terminal of aromatic amino acids or amino acids with bulky hydrophobic sides chains such as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, leucine and methionine. This specificity for aromatic amino acids is due to its large hydrophobic pocket and due to the complementary nature of these amino acids when they bind to the pocket.

Nucleic Acids make up DNA. DNA, in turn, is used as a blueprint to make RNA.

What is DNA?

Humans and nearly all other species carry their genetic information in DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid.

The DNA of an individual can be found in almost all of their cells. DNA contains the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) (T).

All biological cells contain ribonucleic acid (RNA), a crucial biological macromolecule.

It plays a major role in the production of proteins by acting as a messenger for DNA, which in turn carries the genetic instructions necessary for life's growth and maintenance.

The DNA blueprint is first transcribed into RNA, another large macromolecule, to generate proteins.

To create proteins, ribosomes receive the exported RNA from the cell nucleus. The RNA sequence is read by ribosomes, which then use it as a template to make new protein molecules.

Thus, RNA is the molecule made from the blueprint of DNA.
