5.) A man and a woman living in a tropical area where malaria is prevalent and health care is not accessible have seven children during their lifetime. The genotypes of their children are: ss, Ss, SS, ss, Ss, Ss, and SS. What must the genotypes of both parents be? Your answer should include a Punnett square to illustrate your work, and list all the genotypes and phenotypes.
True or false? All traits are inherited in a Mendelian pattern.
Describe natural selection and give an example of natural selection at work in a population.
Discuss Concepts Many human diseases are caused by recessive alleles that are not expressed in heterozygotes. Some people think that eugenicsthe selective breeding of humans to eliminate undesirable genetic traitsprovides a way for us to rid our populations of such harmful alleles. Explain why eugenics cannot eliminate such genetic traits from human populations.
With ______, one species evolves to look like another.
Fast forward 10 years, and you are working as a dermatologist specializing on hands. You notice almost all your patients who have nail patella syndrome (N: disease; n: wild-type) are also O blood type (genotype at the ABO gene: OO). Seems like a weird coincidence, until you remember that the genes causing these two traits are linked and 10 cM apart. If someone who is NBnO has children with someone who is NBnO, what is the probability they would have a kid without nail patella syndrome who is also B-blood type (genotype: BB). a. What is heritability, and what does it measure? b. Would you do a GWAS on a trait with heritability of 0? Why or why not? c. The effect sizes for the SNPs linked to performance on IQ tests are very very small. Why does that make it unlikely that we can genetically engineer humans with super high IQ?
1. Which is more important, nature or nurture? 2. All genetic characteristics are not inherited. Explain this. 3. In family, how did similarities and differences develop? What do you think caused them?
Activity 9GENES SEGREGATION BY BEAN-O TYPE Materials: Colored beans to represent the gene for a certain trait of garden pea. (60 pieces of the same size and shape; 30 pieces of which are of different colors from rest) Procedures: 1. Place the 30 pieces beans (one color) to one container and the other 30 pieces to the other container. Assign which color of beans will represent dominant and recessive genes of a specific trait of garden pea 2. Label the paper container as First Parent P1, male and other P1 female 3. At random, segregate the beans on the Lab table. Assume fertilization occurs and First filial generations (F1) are formed 4. Categorize the formed First filial generations 5. Put all the beans in one container. Assume that all the first filial generations undergo self-fertilization 6. Pick up the beans by two from the container without looking at it and collect the second Filial generation (F2) 7. Categorize the formed Second filial generations into two (2) phenotype, and…
1. The frequency of a recessive disease is 9%. What is the frequency of the allele that causes s the disease? a) What is the frequency of the dominant allele? b) What is the frequency of the carriers (heterozygotes) of the disease?
Written Response 1a) Identify the genotypes of individuals ii-1, ii-4, iii-4, and IV-1. b) If individual III-9 and individual III-10 have another child, what is the probability that this child will have normal colour vision? Sketch a punnett square to support your answer (be creative -- you can type this up on the computer) c) Determine the frequency of the achromatopsia allele in the population illustrated in the pedigree. Round your answer to three decimal places. Show your work.
1. Is there a correlation between survival, reproduction and environment color? Explain. 2. Are there any other factors besides color important in determining survival in the simulation? 3. Why did we set the rate of reproduction at 2/survivor? What would happen if one color always had more offspring than other colors? 4. Suppose that a mutation occurs and a white, “albino” bead is born. How well would it survive in your environment? Please answer all questions please
2. Anyone who inherits a single copy of the Huntington’s allele will get Huntington’s disease, if they live long enough. The age of onset of Huntington’s symptoms for those who inherit the disease allele can vary, starting in the patients’ 40s, 50s, or 60s. What is the genetic term for this variation in symptoms and in their time of appearance?
