Question
Chapter 17.5, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To create: A pair of models that depict the key difference between the forms of glycosyltransferase encoded by the IA and IB alleles.
Introduction: Blood type is determined by a gene that has three different alleles. This gene codes for an enzyme called glycosyltransferase, this enzyme is useful for the synthesis of a specific polysaccharide on the surface of red blood cells.

Exercise Ill:
For this lab exercise, you will evaluate a human pedigree for a particular disease, Huntington disease.
Huntington disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is inherited in an autosomal
dominant pattern. The disease presents around the age of 40, although there are juvenile onset
forms of the disease. Suppose that there is a SNP closely linked to the Huntington gene, so close that
there is little crossing over between the SNP and the Huntington gene.
Consider the following family:
Velma's father, now deceased, had Huntington Disease, but neither of his parents had the disease;
therefore, it was a new mutation that caused his disease. Velma's mother does not have the disease.
Before his death, Velma's father was genotyped for the SNP marker that is linked to the Huntington
gene, and it was determined that he has alleles A1 and A2. Velma's mother was also genotyped and
has alleles A1 and A3. Velma has one brother (age 45) who has Huntington Disease, and…

There are two types of melanin produced by melanocytes. One is eumelanin, which is responsible for black (homozygous), brown (heterozygous), and blond (recessive) hair colors. The other is pheomelanin, which is responsible for red hair color. During melanin synthesis, MCR1gene converts pheomelanin to eumelanin. However, a variant of the MCR1 gene (MCR1variant), prevents this conversion. A cross between a blond-haired mother and a red-haired father produced 100% brown-haired children. When they came of age, one child married a double heterozygote, and both were blessed with 7 children; 2 with black hair, 2 with brown hair, 1 with blond hair, and 2 with red hair.
