Pop Culture Punnett SquaresScientists around the world have been investigating couples' genetic makeup. They were hoping to use them as exampleswhen gathering information from the entire population. Below they have gathered the couple's traits it's up to you to usegenetics and math to solve each problem.1. Miguel wants to know if his musical talent comes from his great-great grandfather Hector. When looking at oldfamily pictures, Miguel found a note written on the back. The note said: "Hector is heterozygous for musical talent(M) and Imelda is homozygous for no musical talent (m)."

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill broke up because Nicki Minaj thinks if they were to have kids they would not havedimples like she does.

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are newly married and are still deciding how many children hey want. They come to you, their favorite geneticist, to help them figure out how likely certain numbers of daughters and sons are. Assume the probability of having a boy is equal to the probability of having a girl. What is the probability that a family with 9 children will consist of: 9 daughters
Red hair in humans is inherited as a recessive trait. Bill and Sarah both have black hair. They marry and have four children, three of whom have red hair. Bill says it isn’t genetically possible for two black haired people to have 34 red-haired children, and he accuses Sarah of infidelity. Sarah says Bill is a homozygous dominant idiot and knows nothing about genetics. Who is correct and why?

Imagine you are a genetic counselor and a couple has come to you to learn more about their genetics and the effects genetic inheritance will have on their baby. Describe which traits are inherited from parents and an explanation of how they are received from genes. What are common dominant traits in a family?
This exercise is designed to give you some practice with Punnett squares and Mendel's principals of inheritance. Melanin is a chemical pigment produced in our body that contributes greatly to our skin, eye, and hair pigmentation -it also relates to color of fur, feathers, and such in animals. In general, the more melanin that is produced, the darker the color. A few genes contribute to the type and amount of melanin that is produced. Most people produce melanin in their skin, because it helps protect against the damages caused by the sun. This is why people tan. There is, however, a particular set of recessive alleles that cause a person to produce little or no melanin, and we refer to this as albinism. An animal or person who has little or no melanin is referred to as albino, and this can manifest in hair, skin, and eyes. For humans, this can be a rather dangerous condition as albinos are far more susceptible to sun damage, particularly cancer. In this exercise, the alleles are as…
Draw a pedigree of either your family OR a famous family such as the Weasley’s, the Skywalker’s, the Targaryans, the Karkashian’s.... Track one trait in the family - attached earlobes/free earlobes. (This was the trait tracked in the second video you watched). What I will be looking for in your pedigree is that the genotypes and phenotypes make sense in terms of complete dominance (Mendelian Inheritance), and that your pedigree follows the guidelines of pedigree drawing presented . make sure that your pedigree is clean, neat, and legible.
Francis Galton, a geneticist of the pre-Mendelian era, devised the principle that half of our genetic makeup is derived from each parent, one-quarter from each grandparent, one-eighth from each great-grandparent, and soforth. Was he right? Explai
The part that is missing is where the traits for things like colorblindness and hemophilia exist. This meansthat if you have XY chromosomes, you are missing alleles on one of the chromosomes. So whatever alleleis on your X is expressed regardless of if being dominant or recessive. These X-Linked Traits have a specialway to note the alleles.X-Linked alleles use X and Y as their base and then the allele that notates the trait is in the top, rightcorner. For instance: Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) XY with Hemophilia XhY XX withouth Hemophilia XHXh Notice that the female has two X’s so has 2 alleles. She is not a hemophiliac, but is carrying the trait.That means she can pass the trait to her offspring.Why don’t you cross those two parents here and find the outcome:Parents: Offspring: Genotypes:Phenotypes: Is there a chance of producing an XY offspring with hemophilia? Explain your answer Will…
Imagine that you are a doctor in a maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait, written with a letter. For this activity B =brown eyes b= blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Considering the possible genotypes you listed in question 3, what traits would the parents of brown-eyed and blue-eyed children have to have?
PKU is a recessive disorder based on a single mutant gene. Consider that Noor is a carrier, but her partner Hamza has never had an incidence of PKU show up in his family history, which dates back to four generations. What is the likelihood their first child might develop PKU according to their genetics counselor? a) 100%! b) 50% c) 25% d) 0%
The average U.S. male weight is 195.7 pounds and the average U.S. female weight is 168.5 pounds. There are many U.S. men and women that are both well above and below those values. Would human weight be a Mendelian character? If not, what kind of inheritance pattern do you think it is? Briefly explain/defend your answer either way.
