White pelts are preferred to other colours (brown, black and grey) on the market (Campbell 2007) because they can be dyed to any desired colour to make coats and other fashion products. Production of white pelt is however hampered by a sub-vital factor that affects some of the pure white ...

This reduction is achieved by two consecutive rounds of chromosome segregation, which follow a single round of DNA replication. The first (reductional) ...

Genome-wide scan of bipolar disorder in 65 pedigrees: supportive evidence for linkage at 8q24, 18q22, 4q32, 2p12, and 13q12.

... The purpose of this study was to assess 65 pedigrees ascertained through a Bipolar I (BPI) proband for evidence of linkage, using nonparametric methods in a genome-wide scan and for possible parent of origin effect using several analytical methods. We identified 15 loci with nominally significant ev ...

The F8 gene is located on the X chromosome, and the hemophilia allele is recessive. Thus, the pattern of inheritance is X-Linked recessive. This can be identified from the pedigree becaus ...

Y chromosome



The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes (allosomes) in mammals, including humans, and many other animals. The other is the X chromosome. Y is the sex-determining chromosome in many species, since it is the presence or absence of Y that determines the male or female sex of offspring produced in sexual reproduction. In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the gene SRY, which triggers testis development. The DNA in the human Y chromosome is composed of about 59 million base pairs. The Y chromosome is passed only from father to son. With a 30% difference between humans and chimpanzees, the Y chromosome is one of the fastest evolving parts of the human genome. To date, over 200 Y-linked genes have been identified. All Y-linked genes are expressed and (apart from duplicated genes) hemizygous (present on only one chromosome) except in the cases of aneuploidy such as XYY syndrome or XXYY syndrome. (See Y linkage.)
