A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The plausibility of the conclusion that the first born has a greater chance of inheriting the mutant allele based on Mendel’s laws.

Concept introduction: Pedigree analysis is an approach that is used to study about the inheritance of genes in humans. This approach is of great importance as it can be used to construct a pedigree based on a family history and also to evaluate the given information in the pedigree by applying the laws of inheritance (law of segregation, law of dominance, and the law of independent assortment).

B.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The probability of obtaining the gene by chance.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.
