You are presented with a patient, named Gerry, who has Down syndrome (trisomy 21). You determine that the nondisjunction event occurred in his mother, named Mary, during meiosis I. You are interested in the TPTE gene, which is near the centromere of chromosome 21. Virtually no recombination occurs between the centromere and the TPTE gene. Mary has two different alleles of the TPTE gene. Would Gerry\'s two chromosome 21s from his mother have the same or different alleles of the TPTE gene? Or do you not have enough information to decide? Explain your answer by drawing meiosis I and II for Mary\'s chromosome 21. Use \"A\" for one allele and \"a\" for the other allele of the TPTE gene. Only draw the chromosomes relevant to this question (Do not draw all 46 chromosomes). Solution a. Nondisjunction produces abnormal gametes. Nondisjunction in meiosis I occurs during anaphase I when one pair of homologous chromosomes fails to separate.Trisomy is the condition of having 3 copies of one chromosome type. It is designated as 2n + 1 because the cell has the normal two sets of each 23 types of chromosomes plus an extra copy of one chromosome. I think Gerrys two chromosome 21s from his mother have different alleles (A and a) of the TPTE gene. But more information could be needed to explain and understand this in a much better way..

What is Mill\'s response to the problem posed by some people\'s desire for virtue for its own sake?Tthis is except from Utilitarianism. Solution John Stuart Mill wrote his moral treatise, Utilitarianism, in a period in intellectual history dominated by Aristotelian virtue and Kantian deontology, as well as the intensely conservative political and social climate of Victorian England.Utilitarianism was intended to convince the public of Mill’s first principle. Mill responds to preexisting ethical frameworks, namely virtue ethics, deontology, Christian ethics, and egoism. Except for egoism, Mill invariably shows how other moral theories and values are actually or can become part of his first principle. The most prominent response in the text is his amalgamation of virtue ethics, which spans all of Chapter 4. Mill is successful in his synthesis of virtue ethics, despite philosophical sloppiness and logical fallacies. In his success, Mill crafted an impartial standard which the moral claims of other theories can by compared against. It is in Chapter 4 of Utilitarianism that Mill addresses virtue the most directly. He begins his argument by stating that virtue can actually be an end to human action besides happiness. Mill agrees with his opponents that there are people who desire or approve of acts according to virtue and absence of vice instead of the pleasure and the absence of pain. The reason this is significant is because if this is a descriptive fact, a truth, then it would pose a problem for Mill’s inductive proof of Utility, which hinges on the observation that happiness is desired and therefore desirable. If there are people who genuinely value virtue as the criteria of right and wrong, of how one should act, then, at very least, happiness is not the only first principle, which is what the Utilitarian claims. The solution to this problem for utilitarianism is to either swallow the intuitively unsavory conclusion that virtue is without value, or show that virtue actually has value belonging to, part of, or from happiness. Mill states that where opponents make their mistake is in believing that utility is incompatible with virtue. Mill holds that virtue is not only valuable as a means to pleasure, but in fact as an end in itself. Virtue and happiness are perceived to be different, but Mill attempts to show that this is superficial. It is by seeking virtue disinterestedly and for its own sake that virtue can become part of pleasure, Mill claims. So not only is Mill successful in bringing virtue ethics into utilitarianism, but he’s successful in creating a template by which other theories can be synthesized with utility. Mill’s claim is that all moral sentiments stem from a first principle that does not admit of proof, and that that first principle is the concept of utility. By providing one specific example, virtue, and showing how it actually admits of his general concept, utility, Mill is successful crafting an argument which allows people .
