Leigh's disease is a mitochondrially inherited disease with symptoms that include seizures, fatigue, impaired reflexes, breathing problems, and ataxia. The pedigree shows the presence of Leigh's disease in three generations. Individual 4 had two daughters and one son, and individual 6 had one daughter and two sons. Which of the individuals indicated are affected by Leigh's disease

About the question:

You will find the pedigree in the attached files

Answer:

Explanation:      

Mitochondrial inheritance is the transmission of a disease or a trait from the maternal line.

Most of the DNI is in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly transfer mitochondrial genes to the progeny, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this mitochondrial DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother genotype carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if an affected man is carrying a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.

Before answering the question, let us remember the pedigree symbols.

In the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease (individual number 2), so all her children are also affected (individuals 4, 5, and 6) because the disease is mitochondrially inherited.

Individual 3 is a healthy man, so individual 4 must be an affected woman (Black circle). As she is the one affected, then all her children will also be affected. This couple had one boy and two girls. Individuals 8 and 9 are girls (circle), so individual 10 must be the affected boy (black square).  

On the other hand, individual 6 is an affected man (black square), son of individuals 1 and 2. This man couples with a woman, and they have all healthy children. So this woman (individual 7) must be healthy. Even though the man is affected, all their children are not because their mother (7) is not. Remember that sperm cells do not transmit the mitochondrial genes to the progeny.      

And finally, individual number 5 might be either a man or a woman. In any case, this person is also affected by Leigh's disease.

g Sickle-cell anemia arises from a mutation in the gene for the beta chain of human hemoglobin. The change from a GAG to a GTG in the mutant eliminates a cleavage site for the restriction enzyme MstII, which recognizes the target sequence CCTGAGG.

In a flock of birds, parents can raise small clutches on their own but can increase their clutch size if they have a helper. You want to see if altruistic behavior is likely to spread. To do this you observed a male bird that stayed at his birth nest for a year to help raise the offspring of his father and his stepmother (the original mother died) and then built his own nest the following year. You calculated direct fitness (cost) for the male bird by counting the number of offspring he produced in one year and multiplied it by ½ due to the relatedness between parents and offspring. To calculate his indirect fitness (benefit), you took the total number of offspring produced in his birth nest by his father and stepmother when he assisted them and multiplied it by ½. To determine if this altruistic behavior would spread you subtracted the cost from the benefit to determine whether it was greater than 1. What did you do wrong
