certain physical features of Turner syndrome, which may
include
short stature ,
"webbing" of the skin of the neck (extra folds of skin
extending from the tops of the shoulders to the sides of
the neck),
a low hairline at the back of the head ,
low-set ears ,
abnormal eye features, including drooping of the eyelids
abnormal bone development, especially the bones of the
hands and elbows ,
a lack of breast development at the expected age (usually
by age 13) ,
an absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) ,
a larger than usual number of moles on the skin ,
People who have Turner syndrome may vary widely in their
characteristics or symptoms of the disorder. Some may have
many features or symptoms, whereas others may experience
only a few.
A special blood test that looks at a person's chromosomes -
called a karyotype - is used to diagnose Turner syndrome.
Several physical characteristics may be noted at birth,
which can alert your child's doctor to the possibility of
TS and cause him or her to order a karyotype. A karyotype
test that indicates Turner syndrome reveals 45 chromosomes
(only one X chromosome), instead of the normal 44 autosomes
and 2 X chromosomes (XX) typically found in females. In
some girls with TS, two X chromosomes are present, but one
is misshapen or missing a piece.

A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?

In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?

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?
