(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Analysis of pedigrees to determine the probability of someone inheriting a trait.

Introduction:

Transmission genetics is the transfer of the genetic information from one generation to another leading to the generation of progeny. Molecular genetics is the study of the function, mechanism and structure of the genes inside the cell. Population genetics is the study of the variations in genes in different populations. It includes the study of the genetic composition and traits of an organism.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Study of people in a small island to determine why a genetic form of asthma is prevalent on the island.

Introduction:

Transmission genetics is the transfer of the genetic information from one generation to another leading to the generation of progeny. Molecular genetics is the study of the function, mechanism and structure of the genes inside the cell. Population genetics is the study of the variations in genes in different populations.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Effect of non-random mating on the distribution of genotypes among a group of animals.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Study of how the inheritance of traits encoded by genes on sex-chromosomes (sex-linked traits) differs from the inheritance of traits encoded by genes on non-sex chromosomes (autosomal traits)

Did your intake of vitamin C meet or come very close to the recommended amount? yes no
Which of the following statements about hydration is true? Absence of thirst is a reliable indication that an individual is adequately hydrated. All of these statements are true. Although a popular way to monitor hydration status, weighing yourself before and after intensive physical activity is not a reliable method to monitor hydration. Urine that is the color of apple juice indicates dehydration. I don't know yet
Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
