GWAS refers to... Group of answer choices An experimental design only used in humans. A method used in genomics, not an experimental design. An experimental design comparing the genome sequence of many unrelated individuals who differ based on some trait. An experimental design comparing the genome sequence of a few related individuals who differ based on some trait.

Genetic engineering utilized to create food sources has been said to be both like and unlike traditional breeding. One way it is different is: It mixes genes from different individuals of the same or similar species It involves whole organisms living in the field It selects from combinations of genes that come together on their own It mixes genes of different organisms such as viruses and crops, or spiders and goats
What does it mean when an individual is found to be “homozygous” at a DNA profiling locus? They have three alleles at the locus They got different alleles from their mother and father They got the same alleles from their mother and father Their children got two alleles from them Their children got no alleles from them
Please help with the following: How does penetrance differ from expressivity in genetics? A. Penetrance is the percentage of individuals with a specific genotype that exhibit the expected phenotype while expressivity is the degree to which a phenotypic character is expressed. B. Penetrance is the degree of lethality of a specific genotype while expressivity is how frequently that genotype is seen in the population. C. Penetrance is the presence of more than two alleles at a locus within a group of individuals while expressivity is the influence of sex on which alleles express themselves. D. None of the above. E. Penetrance refers to the paternal effects of a gene while expressivity refers to the maternal effects of a gene.
What are the primary interests of researchers working in the following fields of genetics?A. Transmission geneticsB. Molecular geneticsC. Population genetics
Organizations that aim to protect the rights of animals have been battling leisure breeders to stop selective breeding because they view it as a form of abuse or cruelty to animals. Selective breeding or artificial selection is a mechanism that has brought a huge impact on the gene frequency of animals especially domesticated ones like dogs and cats. There are cases when breeding animals such as dogs resulted in diseases and malformation or abnormalities in the resulting offspring. Is s it proper to continue selective breeding?
