certain physical features of Turner syndrome, which may
include
short stature ,
"webbing" of the skin of the neck (extra folds of skin
extending from the tops of the shoulders to the sides of
the neck),
a low hairline at the back of the head ,
low-set ears ,
abnormal eye features, including drooping of the eyelids
abnormal bone development, especially the bones of the
hands and elbows ,
a lack of breast development at the expected age (usually
by age 13) ,
an absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) ,
a larger than usual number of moles on the skin ,
People who have Turner syndrome may vary widely in their
characteristics or symptoms of the disorder. Some may have
many features or symptoms, whereas others may experience
only a few.
A special blood test that looks at a person's chromosomes -
called a karyotype - is used to diagnose Turner syndrome.
Several physical characteristics may be noted at birth,
which can alert your child's doctor to the possibility of
TS and cause him or her to order a karyotype. A karyotype
test that indicates Turner syndrome reveals 45 chromosomes
(only one X chromosome), instead of the normal 44 autosomes
and 2 X chromosomes (XX) typically found in females. In
some girls with TS, two X chromosomes are present, but one
is misshapen or missing a piece.

Explain steps involved in transcription?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs with a frequency of about 1/2500 Caucasian newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive. A woman had an older sister die from complications of this disease. CF is not present among relatives of her husband. Both the woman and her husband have normal phenotypes. What is the chance this couple will have a CF child?

what is the connection between a chromatid and a replicated DNA molecule?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?
