In Drosophila, a cross was made between females expressing the three X-linked recessive traits: scute (sc) bristles, sable (s) body and vermillion (v) eyes, and wild-type (+) males. In the F1, all females were wild-type, while all males expressed all three recessive traits. The cross was carried to the F2 generation and 1000 off
An organism of genotype AaBb is testcrossed. 1000 offspring are counted and the numbers in the four genotypic categories are as follows: AaBb 450 Aabb 42 aaBb 38 aabb 470 1.What can you say about these genes and what is the distance in map unit between 2 genes? 2.Rf between 2 genes is 0.5. What are 2 likely loc
Does the following agree with Mendel's Law of Segregation, (in respect to alleles for the gene of fur color)? Also, calculate the Chi-Square and explain the purpose of the calculation. A breeder crosses white dogs with black dogs. F1 generation were all black dogs. The progeny were crossed to produce a F2 generation of; 71 wh
Eukayotic cells can divide by mitosis or meiosis. In humans, mitosis produces new cells for growth and repair; meiosis produes sex cells (gametes) called sperm and eggs. How do both meiosis and sexual reproduction produce offspring that differ genetically form the parents? Explain which steps in meiosis increase variabilit
When doing the Punnett Square, C= normal allele; and c= allele for cystic fibrosis. Based on the Punnett square, calculate changes (percentage) for having a healthy child (not a carrier), a child that is a carrier for the cystic fibrosis trait and a child with cystic fibrosis.
1. What are the major differences between mitosis and meiosis? Why is it necessary to have a meiotic cell division? Explain the difference between the C value and the n number. What phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur in? 2. How many chromosomes are found in a normal human cell? Define the terms "auto
Questions 1. A. When mating/crossing a white pure-breeding elephant, with a black pure-breeding elephant, Jen expected offspring that were entirely white. Why? B. Explain by showing genotypes of parents and progeny. C. If, instead, the progeny were gray, give a possible explanation. D. If, instead, Jen mated two
Bob and Sally recently married. Upon deciding to plan a family, both Sally and Bob find out that they are both heterozygous for cystic fibrosis, but neither of them has symptons of the disorder. Set up and complete a Punnett Square for cystic fibrosis for this couple; turn in the Punnett square. When doing the Punnett Square,
Biotechnology allow us to use living organisms or their processes for human needs or purposes. Currently this topic includes such general examples as cloning, stem cells (adult, umbilical cord, and embroyonic),DNA fingerprinting, biological warefare, bioremediation, genetically modified organisms, vaccines, and transgenic plants
If color is the interpretation by the brain of a wavelength of light, then where does the issue of colorblindness come in? Is it a problem due to the cones being defective, or is it a processing problem with the brain?
I need help in answering the following question: Why is an understanding of genetics so important to an overall understanding of evolution?

In Web searching (on Google, or Hotbot, or some such search engine) on the topic "Nature vs. Nurture.? find an interesting discussion or article related to it. Share the article and URL and a brief explanation of the general points of the article or debate in an outline form or as bullet points. Finally, share your own perspecti
Suppose a gene in a chromosome is of type A or type B. Assume that the probability that a gene of type A will mutate to type B in one generation is 10^-4 and that a gene of type B will mutate to type A is 10^-6. (A) What is the transition matrix? (B) After how many generations, what is the probability that the gene will be o
Explain the various ways heredity and environment may combine to influence complex traits.
How Do Meiosis And Sexual Reproduction (fertilization) Produce Offspring That Differ Genetically From The Parents? Talk About Meiosis And Fertilization. I think I understand this part of the question but I am trying to do research on the second part below about human disorders that are inherited by I do not understand the sec
Part 1: Genetics: From Genes to Proteins Convert the following DNA sequence into its RNA equivalent and then using the genetic code, convert that RNA sequence into the amino acid sequence. 5'-TACTTCTTCAAGACT-3' For this above DNA sequence, what information is contained in the genetic code for the first and last codon? B
Using a Punnett Square, show how you would determine the probability that couple who were both carriers of an automsomal recessive disorder would have a child that would exihibit that disorder. Be sure that you define the letters that you use to present the alleles.
1. A cattle rancher discovers that one of his bulls has a great deal of muscle mass but little fat, and wishes to create a pure-breeding stock with that trait. When he breeds the bull with wild-type cows, all of the offspring are wild-type. How can the rancher create his pure stock if the allele for lean muscle is autosomal?
In reference to biotechnology, what are some ethical or moral implications when we begin to shape or reshape human nature to our own design (i.e., choosing gender, eye color)? What is the role of religion in healthcare decision-making?
Unattached earlobes are a dominant trait. If A denotes the allele for unattached earlobes, and a denotes the allele for attached earlobes, what is (are) the possible genotype(s) of a person who has unattached earlobes? Could both parents of a person with unattached earlobes have attached earlobes? Why or why not?
Frame-shift mutations occur when a nucleotide is accidentally omitted or added to DNA. Would a frame-shift mutation be more harmful if it occurred at the start of a gene or near the end of the gene? Why?
In fruit flies, vestigial wings (v) are recessive to normal wings (V). In a breeding study, 6,000 flies homozygous for vestigial wings mate at random with 4,000 flies homozygous for the normal allele. a. What is the frequency of each genotype in the F1 generation? b. What would the proportion of phenotypes be? c. What is the
Completed Punnett Squares and Answers to all Quest Details: Part 1: Genetics Problem - Human Blood Types Mendel is the father of modern genetics, but there are some genetic characteristics that cannot be explained by simple Mendelian genetics. Such is the case with the human blood types in which there are 3 alleles for the
According to Thomas Szasz, the idea of mental illness, including schizophrenia, is a myth. Szasz believes that schizophrenia should be properly regarded as problems of living in a society that mistreats individuals who are different. Discuss the pros and cons of this proposition.
