Question

PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING LETTERS: a,b,c, and d

Examine the pedigree of the McGraw family shown below.  Certain individuals in this family are affected by a brain condition that makes them more susceptible to vertigo.  As a genetic counselor, you interview the family and draw DNA samples.  You discover that the condition is caused by a mutation that changes the sequence 5’GCATTC3’ to 5’GAATTC3’ introducing an EcoRI cut site.  You decide to amplify a 1200bp fragment from the DNA that spans this mutation and then digest it with EcoRI.  You run the results on a gel next to a marker that shows bands at 2000bp, 1200bp, 900bp, 800bp, and 400bp.  Some individuals from the pedigree are identified on the gel.
