    Genetic traits which are derived from the rules of inheritance proposed by Gregor Mendel are referred to as Mendelian. After a series of experiments in his garden with pea plants he came to discover the basic principles of heredity which have now formed the foundation to genetics; he noted certain traits appeared within offspring in predictable patterns. These principles include the law of segregation which states offspring receives an allele coding for the same trait from both parents and the law

    10. Errors and Redesign. Throughout this experiment a number of random and procedural errors were apparent; these errors could have affected the results of the experiment in a number of ways. One experimental error that occurred during the experiment was that some flies became stuck in the food source and died. The main cause of this was the fact that the fly vials were stood up (vertically) before the flies had fully recovered from the anaesthetic. This could be overcome in future experiments by

    Birth defects, or congenital malformations, are the faulty formation of structures or body parts present at birth. Sporadic, hereditary, or acquired defects may be immediately observed or may become manifest later in life; they may be visible on the body surface or present internally. Birth defects may be life threatening and require surgical correction, or they may interfere with function or appearance. It is estimated that about 3% of all children are born with major defects; minor defects or variations

    Congenital hearing loss is described as hearing loss that exists at birth. Factors responsible for this condition include those present during pregnancy (such as hereditary factors), as well as factors present after pregnancy. An inherited congenital hearing loss could be conductive, sensorineural, or even a combination of both. The amount or progression of this type of hearing loss varies according to each individual’s case. According to Richard Smith, congenital hearing loss is “syndromic (associated

    RESULTS Table 1: Phenotypes of F1 flies produced by crossing wild-type females and no-winged males. Females Males Total Wild-Type 47 53 100 No -winged Mutant 0 0 0 Table 1 shows the phenotypes of the F1 flies produced by crossing P1 wild-type females and P1 no-winged mutant males. The results of that cross was that there were forty seven wild-type females and fifty three wild-type males. Therefore there was a total of one hundred wild-type flies that were produced. The observed phenotypic ratio

    and the variability, such as the age of onset of the disease. The research community has further investigated the disorder for decades. In 1983, the Venezuelan collaborative research project estimated the location of the HD gene using genetic linkage analysis. It was the first autosomal dominant gene to be discovered using this particular method and found that the gene is situated at 4p16.3. In 1996, modeling the disease in transgenic mice opened the door to new experiments. Sine these mice

    The process of nondisjunction can occur in human development during phases in meiosis and mitosis. The irregularity results in an abnormal amount of chromosomes in the produced cells and causes alterations in those who are affected. Nondisjunctional consequences can be seen in these five examples of genetic inheritance conditions discussed in this paper: Down syndrome, Patau’s syndrome, Edward’s syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Turner’s syndrome. The Mendelian principles of genetics developed

    1. Autosomal dominant genes are modified copies of the gene in a given cell. This is enough for someone to become affected by an autosomal dominant disorder. The person that inherits the given disorder would do so from a parent that is also affected by the same gene. Some disorders that fit into this classification are Huntingtons disease and Marfan syndrome. When a person is affected by an autosomal recessive disorder, both copies will be mutated in these genes. When a person has been diagnoses

    genetic level of variation of important morphological traits related to high productivity of Chinese cabbage. Marker information was gathered from high density integrated linkage map which covers the whole genome of B. rapa organism. We found the existence of useful genetic diversity within 192 B. rapa accessions. Significant linkage disequilibrium (LD) threshold level (r2≥0.01), and a genome-wide average of LD declines within the genetic distance at < 0.001). The negative correlation between HW and
