Abalone is a protected seafood. Fisherpeople are only supposed to fish for Abalone in specific places. You are an environmental protection officer. Your job is to search for the sale of illegally caught abalone from protected areas (where is it illegal to fish) in local markets. The gel below compares the DNA of abalone from a protected area and abalone caught in a legal fishing area to abalone sold at 3 local markets. Which of the following statements is consistent with the results? A. Market 2 has illegally caught abalone B. Market 3 has legally caught abalone C. We cannot determine where any of the abalone in market 2 comes from D. Only market 3 has legally caught abalone Select the most likely option above. Explain what the image below is and what the bands in the image represent in terms of the abalone genome and how they are able to tell us about the where the abalone was caught. As well the laboratory techniques needed to produce the image below.

In 1967, a couple accused a hospital of switching their baby with another. DNA interpretation did not exist at this time so the hospital traced the blood types of the family in order to determine if a mistake was made. The mother had Type A blood, the father had Type AB blood, and the baby had Type O blood. Use the Punnett square to defend your answer to the following question: Did the hospital make a mistake and switch the baby? ____________

Many organisms are studied by geneticists. Do you think each ofthe following species would be more likely to be studied by atransmission geneticist, a molecular geneticist, or a populationgeneticist? Explain your answer. Note: More than one answer maybe possible for a given species.A. DogsB. E. coliC. Fruit fliesD. LeopardsE. Corn
DNA samples are taken from inside the cheeks of people arrested on suspicion of having committed serious crimes. Only a small portion of the genome information is recorded (13 repeated sequences that do not encode proteins; and the DNA itself is discarded. Explain why sampling this part of the genome does not indicate anything about the person’s health, ancestry, or traits.
A survey was conducted in 500 Filipinos belonging to the very low to low income generating familieswith at most a high school diploma. The study found out that 95% of the participants believed thatconsuming GMOs lead to unwanted mutations. Among the most common fear listed was thedevelopment of unwanted phenotypes for their children and grandchildren because of eating GM crops.Based on your knowledge in genetics and on how GMOs are produced, explain why theclaim is impossible to happen. Use one specific example of GMO to justify your

DNA fingerprinting involves using restriction enzymes to cut DNA at a specific sequence, resulting in many fragments of different lengths. Gel electrophoresis then separates the fragments according to size. DNA fingerprints produced from four different individuals is shown below.The DNA for Individuals 3 and 4 could NOT be Select one: a. mitochondrial DNA from two people who have the same maternal grandmother (both their mothers had the same mother) b. mitochondrial DNA from two people who have the same paternal grandmother (both their fathers had the same mother) c. nuclear DNA from identical twins d. nuclear DNA isolated from a hair left at a crime scene and a buccal swab from a suspect who was present at the crime
What is the only genetically modified meat available to purchase? You can purchase a variety of organic meats but this refers to their feed. Only one is truly genetically modified - a lot of debate around this, is it safe to eat?
You are examining evidence from an old crime scene. You have a blood sample, but you believe that the sample may be too degraded to get DNA from. You decide to try to retrieve mtDNA from the sample and compare it to a sample from your suspect. What information could this sample give you? That the blood at the crime scene belonged to your suspect That the suspect has blond hair and blue eyes That there is a maternal relation between the two people That the person from the crime scene has been near the suspect
Human geneticists have found the Finnish populationto be very useful for studies of a variety of conditions.The population is small; Finns have extensive churchrecords documenting lineages; and few people havemigrated into Finland. The frequency of some recessive disorders is higher in the Finnish population thanelsewhere in the world, and diseases such as PKU andcystic fibrosis that are common elsewhere do not occur in the Finnish population.a. How would a population geneticist explain thesevariations in disease occurrence?b. The Finnish population is also a source ofinformation for the study of quantitative traits. Thegenetic basis of schizophrenia is one question that canbe explored in this population. What advantage(s) anddisadvantage(s) can you imagine for studying complex traits based on the Finnish population structure?
