You finally get your dream job of becoming a medical geneticist at a prestigious research hospital. As a new hire, your boss gives you your first task. She presents you with two diseases (we will call them Disease A and Disease B) that result from two different forms of non-mendelian inheritance. However, both diseases are caused by alleles that code for misfolded proteins in their mitochondria! Your boss asks you to determine which disease follows codominance and which follows incomplete dominance. Use the following information to match the disease with the correct form of non-mendelian inheritance. In Disease A, homozygous dominant individuals have mitochondria with 100 micrograms of misfolded proteins. Homozygous recessive individuals with Disease A have mitochondria with 200 micrograms of misfolded proteins. Heterozygous individuals that carry Disease A have 150 micrograms of misfolded proteins in their mitochondria. In Disease B, homozygous dominant individuals have mitochondria with 200 micrograms of normal proteins. Homozygous recessive individuals with Disease B have mitochondria with 200 micrograms of misfolded proteins. Heterozygous individuals that carry Disease B have 100 micrograms of misfolded proteins and 100 micrograms of normal proteins in their mitochondria.
