Answer part a)
According to the gene map of the wild type and the mutant gene, it can be seen that the mutant
lacks a site for restriction digestion. This shows that in wild type, the restriction enzyme can
digest the DNA at any three sites and thus atleast two bands will appear after amplification. On
the contrary, the deletion of middle sequence of restriction site will lead to formation of a single
band in mutant gene. The smaller band will represnt the mutant and the larger band will
represent the normal/wild type allele. Thus, according to this information, it can be deciphered
that the mother is a heterozygous in nature and carries a mutant allele for Tay-Sachs disease
while the father does not. Thus, the lower band will be a representative of mutant or "t" and the
upper band will be a representative of normal "T" allele.
Answer part b)
Since the mother is a carrier, there are 50% chances that the mother will transmit the mutant
allele to her offspring. Thus, the couple can bear a normal heterozygous carrier female offspring
or an affected male offspring. According to the information in the image, the genotype bands of
father and offspring match which clearly suggest that the offspring is an unaffected heterozygous
carrier female.
Answer part c)
There are always 50% changes for a male to be affected by the disease. Rest 50% males will be
normal both geotypically and phenotypically. Also, all the females will be phenotypically normal
but 50% of them would be heterozygous carriers.
