Geneticists believe that compulsive selfie-taking (M) is an autosomal dominant trait over controlled selfie-taking (m). People of each genotype are invariably expressive. Compulsive homozygous and heterozygous individuals are completely penetrant, while homozygous recessive individuals are incompletely pentrant. (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) a) A person of genotype Mm can be a controlled selfie-taker. U b) A person of genotype MM is expected to show the same selfie-taking phenotype as a person of genotype Mm. c) It is possible for a man of genotype Mm and a woman of genotype MM to have a child who is a controlled selfie-taker. d) Two people of mm genotype are expected to be controlled selfie-takers in the same way as each other.

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
