1. a) If you were at risk of a fatal disease such as Huntington’s disease and only the 95% accurate preliminary genetic test was available, would you take the test? After all, 95% of the time the test would tell you whether you would eventually get Huntington’s disease or whether you did not have to worry about getting this disease. b) The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?

20. 20.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A. Codominance is evident when a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring that exhibits both parental traits because the alleles for each trait are neither completely dominant nor recessive B. Incomplete dominance is evident when a cross between a white carnation and a red carnation results in a pink carnation flower. C. Law of dominance state that if the alleles of a specific gene differ from each other, only one phenotype will be expressed while the other is masked D. The inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of the other trait especially if the allele of the other trait is located in a different chromosome
