Concept explainers

Violence

Violence is defined as a physical act that causes or is intended to cause harm. Violence can cause physical, emotional, or both types of harm. Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as the intended use of physical force and power that causes threat or harm against oneself, another person, or against a community or group, and has the potential to cause damage, death, mental distress, maldevelopment, or poverty.

Notation: D = disease allele at gene d = wild-type allele at gene Let’s provide some information about each MOI. AD: Each of the F1 parents is heterozygous for the D allele. SLR: The observed F2 data are the offspring from an F1 cross where the father is affected (disease) and the mother is an unaffected carrier (wild-type, or WT). That is, the mother’s genotype has one disease allele and one WT allele in it. In Table 1, I provide the observed data counts (in dark blue). Notice that I stratify by gender.

A dark-red strain and a white strain of wheat are crossed andproduce an intermediate, medium-red F1. When the F1 plants areinterbred, an F2 generation is produced in a ratio of 1 dark-red:4 medium-dark-red: 6 medium-red: 4 light-red: 1 white. Furthercrosses reveal that the dark-red and white F2 plants are truebreeding. How many additive alleles are needed to produce each possiblephenotype?
In rabbits, the color of body fat is controlled by a single genewith two alleles, designated Y and y. The outcome of this traitis affected by the diet of the rabbit. When raised on a standardvegetarian diet, the dominant Y allele confers white body fat,and the y allele confers yellow body fat. However, when raisedon a xanthophyll-free diet, a homozygote yy rabbit has whitebody fat. If a heterozygous rabbit is crossed to a rabbit withyellow body fat, what are the proportions of offspring withwhite and yellow body fat when raised on a standard vegetariandiet? How do the proportions change if the offspring are raisedon a xanthophyll-free diet?
In rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c); heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted. Consider a cross between a heterozygous black-coated rabbit and a homozygous white-coated rabbit.
