If A= normal allele, a = albino allele, then genotypes of father and mother are respectively

A

Aa and Aa

B

AA and Aa

C

Aa and AA

D

Aa and aa

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Albinism is hereditary lack of pigmentation in an organism. It is an autosomal recessive disorder. Albino humans lack dark pigment melanin in their skin, hair or eyes. The allele responsible is recessive to allele for normal pigmentation. Father's and mother's genotype should be Aa. They both are carriers of the disease

The chances of this couple'f fifth child being an albino are 1 in 4.

Three copies of chromosome-21 in a child with Down's syndrome have been analysed using molecular biology technology to detect any possible DNA polymorphism with reference to different alleles located onchromosome-2 1. Results showed that out of 3 copies 2 of the chromosomes of the child contain the same alleles ,as one of the mother's alleles. Based on this when did the non-disjunction event most likely occur?

On a long horizontally moving belt (Fig.), a child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h^(-1) (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h^(-1) . For an observer on a stationary platform outside, what is the (a) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt ?. (b) speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt ? (c ) time taken by the child in (a) and (b) ? Which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents ?
