what happens in Dislexia, genetic or brain damage ?
Answer Posted / swapna
Dyslexia is an unexpected impairment in reading and
spelling despite a normal intellect.
Dyslexia results from a disfunction in visual memory and
visual perception due to a delayment in maturation. Most
dyslexics also display poor writing ability.
Dyslexia is a classical primary reading disorder and should
be differentiated from secondary disorders such as mental
retardation, educational or environmental deprivation, or
physical/organic diseases.
The disorder results as a combination of genetic and
environmental causes, which can induce variations in the
behavioral, cognitive, and physiological measures related
to reading disability. Dyslexia was previously called
congenital word blindness.

In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
Explain in terms of gene product function how a mutant allele can be dominant? recessive?
A base deletion occurs in the regulator gene of the LAC operon. Describe how the operation of the LAC operon might be affected?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?

Promoters of housekeeping genes contain variable numbers of GC boxes, but neither TATA nor CCAAT boxes.Inwhat way these properties of housekeeping promoters are helpful?
A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?

In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.
