Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants is caused by mutation in the mitochondrial genome. CMS can be restored by a nuclear gene, restorer of fertility (Rf), which is a dominant character.

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 IV 2 will be affected with Becker muscular dystrophy?

A panel of cell lines was created by human—mouse somatic-cell hybridization. Each cell line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of three enzymes. The following results were obtained: 

On the basis of these results, give the chromosomal locations of the genes encoding enzyme 1, enzyme 2, and enzyme 3.

The following is a schematic representation of region of the chromosome of fly along with extent of six deletions (Del 1 to Del 6); 

When flies homozygous for the recessive mutations are crossed with flies heterozygous for the deletions, the following results are obtained, in which "m" represents a mutant phenotype and a plus sign (+) represents the wild type. On the basis of these data, determine the relative order of the seven mutant eenes on the chromosome.
