In a comparison of plant and animal development, it is found that:

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

  1. Animals evolved from plants, and animal developmental strategies are derived from those of plants

  2. Fully differentiated cells of plants are still totipotent, and will readily form a complete fertile plant whereas the differentiated state of animal cells is difficult to reverse

  3. Gene regulation evolved later than the split between plants and animals, and is executed differently in the two kingdoms

  4. Basic metabolic pathways and intracellular structures evolved separately in plants and animals and are fundamentally different

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree II 3 and III 1 are affected with an X-linked recessive disorder which is tightly linked to a marker locus with alleles A and B, with a recombination fraction of 0 between the disease and marker loci. Analysis of the linked marker results indicates that the disease must be segregating with:

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree I 1 and II 2 have Becker muscular dystrophy which shows X-linked recessive inheritance. III 2 has oculocutaneous albinism which shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence in the general population of 1 in 10 000. The disease status for both Becker muscular dystrophy and oculocutaneous albinism is unknown for IV 1 and IV 2.
What is the probability that III 3 is a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy?
