Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1PDQ
HOW DO WE KNOW? In this chapter, we focused on the Mendelian postulates, probability, and pedigree analysis. We also considered some of the methods and reasoning by which these ideas, concepts, and techniques were developed. On the basis of these discussions, what answers would you propose to the following questions:
- (a) How was Mendel able to derive postulates concerning the behavior of “unit factors” during gamete formation, when he could not directly observe them?
- (b) How do we know whether an organism expressing a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous?
- (c) In analyzing genetic data, how do we know whether deviation from the expected ratio is due to chance rather than to another, independent factor?
- (d) Since experimental crosses are not performed in humans, how do we know how traits are inherited?

The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forward
