Which of the following statements concerning the administration of an estate is (are) correct? (1) Some matters, such as funeral arrangements and emergency actions to preserve estate assets, will typically take place before an executor or administrator is appointed. (2) Even though the executor is named in the Will, formal court appointment of the executor is generally required before they will receive letters testamentary. (3) In Texas, the court appoints an administrator instead of an executor if the decedent died intestate.

Tony owned the following property at the time of his death. (1) $500,000 Personal residence titled in fee simple in Tony’s name. (2) $500,000 life insurance policy on Tony’s life. Primary beneficiary is Tony’s brother, Pepe (died 2 years before Tony), contingent beneficiary is “My Estate”. (3) $17,000 car titled JTWROS with Tony’s sister, Gia, who survived him. (4) $400,000 IRA, Primary beneficiary: Gia, survives. What is the value of Tony’s probate estate? (Assume he was not married on his date of death.)

Label each of the following changes as:  i) a synonymous mutation, ii) a non-synonymous substitution, iii) a stop-loss mutation, iv) a nonsense (stop-gain) mutation. (A genetic code table is below).   A) UGA –> UCA [A]  B) UAC –> UAA [B]  C) AGA –> AAA [C]  D) AGA –> CGA [D]   

The images below represent the possible meiotic products produced in the woman’s  (from the Q above) germline.  Which of the four gametes, when fertilized by a normal sperm, would give rise to a zygote that has partial trisomy 21?  (white = chromosome 3, black = chromosome 21)

Colorblind 1 Your next project is to genetically map the locus for color blindness, an X-linked recessive trait, with respect to simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Like many X-linked recessive traits, colorblindness is usually found in males. However, the mutant allele frequency is sufficiently high that colorblind females do occur. In this problem, + is the allele that leads to normal vision, and clr is the allele associated with color-blindness. Assume complete penetrance and no new mutations. The family below has been genotyped for two SSR markers – there are 2 alleles for SSR 72 (Z&W) and 3 alleles for SSR 73 (a,b, & c).  The mother is deceased; thus, her DNA has not been analyzed.  Below the pedigree are the results from the DNA analysis – the heavier bands indicate more DNA.    A) What is the (deceased) mother’s genotype at SSR72? [A]   B) What is the (deceased) mother’s genotype at SSR73? [B]   C) What is the most likely phase relationship between the alleles at SSR72 and the color blindness locus in the mother. [C] D) What is the most likely phase relationship between the alleles at SSR73 and the color blindness locus in the mother.   [D]
