I need some help completing this fill-in-the-blank. Each answer option is bolded and bracketed.
1. The purpose of the AMEL locus is [identification of ethnicity, determination of age, identification of gender], it is located in the [autosomes, sx chromosomes]. Females have only one peak originating from their [X only, Y only, X and Y] chromosomes and males have two peaks originating from their [X only, Y only, X and Y] chromosomes.
2. In the D8S1179 locus, Sophie is [homozygous, heterozygous] for allele with 13 copies. One copy of this allele came from her mother and the other copy came from [Sam or Bill, Sam or Harry, Bill or Harry, Sam Bill or Harry(Either 3)]
3. In the D21S11 locus, Sophie's allele [28, 30] came from the mother and her other allele, 28, came from [Sam only, Bill only, Harry only].
4. In the D18S51 locus, Sophie's paternal allele came from [Bill only, Bill and Harry, Sam Bill or Harry (Either 3)].
5. You already know Sam, Bill and Harry are related to one another. Two of them are brothers and the other is a cousin. Knowing that DYS391 is located on the Y chromosome, can you figure out who are the two brothers and who is the son of their father's sister? Keep in mind that Y chromosome is passed virtually unchanged from father to all of his sons. [Sam and Bill, Sam and Harry, Bill and Harry] are brothers and [Sam, Bill, Harry] is the cousin.
