The Genetics &IVF Institute developed its XSORT method to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. Among 574 women using that method, 525 had baby girls. Assuming that the method has no effect so that boys and girls are equally likely, find the probability of getting at least 525 girls among 574 babies. Does the result suggest that the XSORT method is effective ? Why? Or why not?

Single gene Mendelian inheritance patterns: if you are told the phenotype of the parents and whether the trait is dominant or recessive etc, be able to predict the genotype of the children. If you are told the phenotype of the parent as well as the inheritance pattern, be able to predict the parent’s genotype. Be able to set up and use a Punnett square to solve problems and make predictions. Be able to explain the major steps in how information from our genes is used to make proteins. Or to show it in a labeled diagram. Be able to explain whatis transcription, translation. Where in the cell do these processes occur? In what order? What type of molecules are being made [DNA, RNA, protein]? What are their building blocks? What is a mutation? How can a mutation in DNA cause a change in a protein? (use the following terms to answer: codon, transcription, translation, mRNA). What is gene expression? Why is regulation of gene expression important for normal…
I'm confused about how I would figure out these two questions as I don't really understand the difference or where to start. What would genotypic frequencies be for Wildrose at pt-8 if it were in equilibrium? and How many individuals (to 2 decimal places) of each genotype would there be from Wildrose at pt-8 if it were in equilibrium?

How do the methods employed in Assisted Reproductive Technology (e.g. IVF) contribute to the impairment of genomic imprinting? Cite specific examples of imprinting-related birth defects arising from ART that will prove your point.
Please do this for me!! I would gladly appreciate it. Write one results sentences that describe what the boxplot shows (discuss variation, median, mean, and the statistical significance). Include important information about how the data was generated. Write one discussion sentences that interpret what the boxplot shows. What do you think the biological significance of the result is?
Below is a histogram showing the results from a previous class’s dataset. Some trials resulted (ended) with the white allele fixing (reaching 100%), some resulted with the white allele going extinct (0%), and some fell somewhere in between. What phenomenon most likely drove this pattern?
Pure breeding red fleshed tomatoes crossed with pure breeding yellow fleshed tomatoes produced all red fleshed tomatoes in the F1 generation. Among the 400 F2 plants, 90 were yellow. It is hypothesized that a single pair of alleles is involved and that red is dominant to yellow. Is the hypothesis consistent with the data?

Based on Standard NGSS MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. In reference to the attached image, can you create a model that shows how it is possible that the twins ended up with such different traits yet have the same parents? Keeping in mind that the twins are a set of fraternal twins. Note:Required a cause-and-effect relationship between parents and offspring with the appropriate mechanism, and Diagram shows genetic recombination as well as inheritance
Imagine that genetic technology advances to the point where the genetic profile of an individual can be easily obtained, and that we have a full understanding of how genes interact to influence our health. Based on this genetic information alone, how reliably do you think we would be able to predict a person's chance of getting a specific disease? Where do you think this type of genetic profiling would lead with respect to selection of offspring or genetic superiority?
