This questiоn is extrа credit, wоrth up tо 20 points. I recommend you only work on this question if you аre comfortаble with your answers on all the other questions. There is a hypothetical isolated tribe in Africa which has exhibited a unique condition that confers different levels of resistance to malaria. Malarial infection in this area has a very high incidence level (~90%) among tribes in surrounding areas. The research indicated that the certain males (about 20%) in the tribe never show any symptoms of malarial infection while other males with malarial infections show typical symptoms. In the same tribe, some females also show no symptoms (about 5%) while some other females (about 15%) exhibit mild malarial symptoms. Further research has shown that resistance to malaria is a trait that is passed on within specific families. An example of a family has the father being resistant and the mother being partially resistant with 50% of their male progeny being totally resistant (all of the other males were not resistant at all), while 50% of their female progeny being totally resistant whereas the other females are partially resistant. In another family a malaria resistant father and a non-resistant female had all non-resistant males and all partially resistant females. What is the genetic explanation (dominant or semi-dominant or recessive; autosomal or sex-linked) for this particular trait with an explanation for the designation, and what kind of molecular diagnostic test can be developed to identify individuals with the mutation? Please justify your selected type of test. Also, it is acceptable to be able to send samples to a regional lab rather than doing the test at the location of where the patients live though cost should be a consideration since this is being done in a financially poor country.
