... In this case, since p1 is pheA– pheB+ and p2 is pheA– pheB+ the genotype of the diploid is: pheA – pheB + pheA – pheB + There are no good copies of the pheA gene, so no pheA protein will be produced, so the resulting diploid will be unable to synthesize phenylalanine (phe–). 2. Suppose that you co ...

Genetic counselling is one instance, as applied to those thought likely to have such disorders as Huntington's chorea. This is a particular ...
