There are two types of diabetes: insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) caused by a recessive trait. Although both types appear to have
a genetic component, the genetic role in non-insulin-dependent diabetes is much greater

Debbie is a 40 year old Jamaican whose grandmother and grandfather on her mother’s side both have
diabetes. The Grandfather is overweight and has (IDDM) while her grandmother is in shape and has
(NIDDM). Debbie’s mother Laura and her two brothers Leighton and Lance do not have (NIDDM) or
(IDDM) Debbie married Allan and have three children Alana, Alexia, and Devin who was born with
(NIDDM) she is also pregnant with her fourth child.
A. What is the percentage probability that:
i. Debbie’s fourth child will be a girl
ii. That the fourth child will have NIDDM

Explanation:

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
