The Hemoglobin gene has two very common alleles: HbS and HbA. Bob’s professor asks him to draw the chromosomes for an individual that is HbSHbA and label the alleles. Bob draws this (below). Explain why Bob is wrong and then draw it correctly.FOXP2 is a gene in humans; humans that have mutated copies of FOXP2 often have trouble speaking. It is on Chromosome 7, which is about 160 million base pairs long. FOXP2 is at position 115 million base pairs. Which of the drawings below appropriately diagrams the location of FOXP2? Why?

If you had the ability to do gene editing with ONE gene for the betterment of human kind, which one would you choose, and why? Assume you could either change an abnormal allele associated with a disease, such as the cystin gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis to its normal wild type, or add a pre-existing human allele to a genome.
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? ____________
