A male with gigantism (due to paternal duplication of the Igf2 locus on the same chromosome) married a normal individual. He worries about having children since they may also have gigantism. What would you tell him?

Question 2 options:

They will be all healthy.

Only sons have 50% chance of developing gigantism.

Children have 50% chance of having gigantism.

Only daughters have 50% chance of developing gigantism.

Is everyone's paternal gene silenced because of imprinting in that section of chromosome 15 that causes angelman syndrome? (when the other parents gene is silenced and now there is no back up because of imprinting caused by methylation) I'm asking if every typical person has this imprinting for angelman syndrome and vice versa maternally for Prader-willie syndrome I'm getting confused while writing a report. (I need help as soon as possible because I'm writing a report for tomorrow). Thank you!...

There are three traits in mice that are found on the same chromosome (they are linked). Gray fur is dominant to brown fur, long tails are dominant to short tails, and notched ears are dominant to unnotched ears.

Bar is a dominant mutation on the Drosophila X-chromosome. A Bar male crossed to a wildtype female giving the following results:             Bar females                 998 wild type males           1021 wild type female               1 Remember: in Drosophila two X-chromosomes make a female fly and one X-chromosome makes a male; the Y is irrelevant.   XXX is lethal.

In humans, the RH factor and elliptocytosis genes are located on the same chromosome at 3% from each other. The color blindness gene and the night blindness gene are located 40% apart on the X chromosome. Rhesus positivity and elliptocytes - dominant alleles, and night and color blindness are recessive. А) A woman who was heterozygous in all her genes and whose ancestors had no crossing over was married to a man who suffered from night blindness and color blindness,...

Genes A, B, and C are located on the same chromosome with following order. Linkage map distances among them are 11cM between A and B and 34cM between B and C. 1. When two parental genotypes were ABC/abc and abc/abc and there were 500 offspring, what would be the possible/expected genotypes and their numbers among the offspring? Assume there was no interference.
