Document Summary

Dna replication: dna replication error rate: 1 in 108 bases, a wrong dna base will be left in place, 30 mutations per genome every cell cycle. Dna repair: repair enzymes fix 99% of dna replication errors. Dna repair disorder: xeroderma pigmentosum (xp, rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, lacks the ability to repair dna damage caused by uv. Mitochondrial inheritance: phenotypes are often highly pleiotropic because, multiple copies, heteroplasmy. Gene linkage: genes that are close on the same chromosome are said linked , genetically, it is the failure of two genes to assort independently in meiosis. Linked genes, and hence the phenotypic characters, are inherited together: exception to independent assortment, for two genes on different chromosomes, the inheritance of one allele does not influence the chance or inheriting the other allele. Crossover: chromosomes recombine during prophase i of meiosis, crossing over occurs at random locations, ensures that hereditary variability is maintained.

a. Yes, a woman could be color-blind if her mother and father were both heterozygous.
b. Yes, a woman could be color-blind but only if she has an abnormal number of sex chromosomes.
c. No, women can't show sex-linked traits because they lack a Y chromosome.
d. No, women can't show sex-linked traits because they have two X chromosomes.
e. Yes, a woman could be color-blind if her father was color-blind and her mother was a carrier (heterozygous).
