DM 1 Yоu аre аttempting tо find а gene that causes autоsomal dominant dysmelodia (this is a real condition -- tone deafness). You have chosen to label this gene D&M. You have found a marker that segregates with the D&M phenotype and have performed 2-point linkage analysis in 5 families (1-5 in red on the left); LOD scores are shown in the figure below. (PS. This is data from a European group and they use commas instead of periods for the decimal point. So, 0,1 = 0.1; SUMA is the column total (ie SUM)) What is the most likely recombination fraction between the marker and the D&M gene? Explain.

HeаdSpаce, Inc. is а cоmpany incоrpоrated in Delaware and headquartered in Austin, Texas. HeadSpace is a leading social media company, with its stock publicly traded on the NASDAQ. Its success has made its founder and majority stockholder Luke Tucker one of the wealthiest people in the world. In 2015, Tucker publicly took the “Giving Pledge”—a philanthropic movement championed by fellow billionaire Lilah Bridges—committing himself to donating the majority of his wealth to philanthropic causes at an early age. In 2017, Tucker stepped down as CEO (while remaining Chair of the Board) to dedicate more attention to his philanthropic activities. In 2020, Tucker began working on a plan to fulfill his pledge by making annual donations of $3 billion worth of HeadSpace stock, primarily to the Bridges Foundation, a charitable organization started by Bridges. Giving away so much stock, however, would quickly cause Tucker to lose majority control of HeadSpace, something he was loathe to do. So Tucker proposed to the board a “Reclassification Plan" whereby the company would issue two new classes of shares—one with full voting rights but no economic rights, and one with full economic rights but no voting rights—and allow him to exchange each share of his old common stock for one of each of the newly issued types of shares. The Plan was intended to allow Tucker to sell his non-voting stock without losing control of the company. In response, the board established a special committee, composed of three directors: Anderson, Brolin, and Hallman. The special committee retained Craven, Swine & Moore (“Craven”)—a major law-firm—to advise them. Craven reached out to Tucker’s personal lawyers, who made it clear that several concessions Craven thought necessary—such as a “stapling” provision requiring Tucker to sell a voting share every time he sold a non-voting share, and a “true-up” payment from Tucker designed to compensate the company’s other stockholders for the dilution of their voting power—were non-starters. By the time Craven first met with the special committee, the key contours of the Plan had already taken shape, and the committee anticipated that it would be approved. As a result, the special committee never considered any alternatives to the Plan, never demanded any meaningful concessions from Tucker, and never threatened to reject the Plan. Instead, Anderson and Brolin told Tucker they were “proud” of him for taking the Giving Pledge and were glad he was taking steps to fulfill the Pledge. Throughout the process, Hallman—who also serves as CEO of the Bridges Foundation—exchanged text messages with Tucker strategizing on how to pitch the Plan to the full board. Rather than negotiate over the Plan, the special committee—concerned that Tucker would step away from the company entirely—focused entirely on giving him enticements to remain engaged at the company. As a result, they added to the Plan a schedule of stock option grants that would pay Tucker a total of several billion dollars if the company performed well in the future. These grants were not contingent on any actual commitments or services from Tucker. On October 1, 2020, the special committee recommended that the full board approve the Plan. The next day, the full board unanimously voted to approve the Plan. Upon the plan’s announcement, the stock price of HeadSpace dropped sharply, representing a loss of value of several billion dollars. At the time the Plan was approved, the board consisted of seven people: 1) Tucker; 2) Ellison, HeadSpace’s CEO since Tucker stepped down in 2017; 3) Anderson; 4) Brolin; 5) Hallman; 6) Teal, HeadSpace’s first outside investor, now a famous private equity investor due to his association with HeadSpace; and 7) Bosworth, CEO of a large entertainment streaming service that buys significant advertising on HeadSpace. In January of 2021, Bosworth left the board and was replaced by Renault, who had no prior connection to the company. You are a junior partner at a major firm. A large stockholder has approached your firm to discuss the possibility of bringing a lawsuit over adoption of the Plan and the accompanying stock option grant to Tucker. A senior partner has asked you to draft a memo analyzing potential claims and how they could be brought. Your initial research finds that HeadSpace’s certificate of incorporation includes an exculpation provision under 102(b)(7) and otherwise uses typical default rules. Be sure to address both the substantive and procedural aspects of any claims, and address what additional facts you may need and how you might go about finding them out. WORD LIMIT: 1,500 words
