Lab: Who’s your Daddy? Objectives Identify and explain the concepts of evolution, the scientific method, and the role of genetics within evolution. Use the principles of genetics and evolution to help explain/analyze evolutionary change and variability. Create written assignments that follow assigned rubric requirements, and demonstrate college-level writing skills. Instructions Download the “Who’s Your Daddy?” […]
Write an essay that discusses your own risk factors for each type of cancer and steps you might take to decrease those risk factors.
Unit II Assignment—Genetics Worksheet Solving Punnett Squares Reginald Punnett was a British geneticist who developed the Punnett square to explain how the chromosomes of parents cross and produce offspring. To solve genetics problems using a Punnett square, it is necessary to a) understand the associated vocabulary and b) understand some of the rules for solving […]
Complete a Punnett Square of a cross of two plants that are heterozygous for this trait. What is the resulting genotype ratio of this cross?
ASSIGNMENT In pea plants, there is a gene that controls the size of the pea plant. The plant can be tall or dwarf (short). Tall plants (T) are dominant to dwarf plants (t). Complete a Punnett Square of a cross of two plants that are heterozygous for this trait. What is the resulting genotype ratio […]
Are there any other possible genotypes your parent flies could be? Do you get different results from the two different reciprocal matings when the trait is sex-linked?
Drosophila Lab—Patterns of Heredity Objective: Learn and apply the principles of Mendelian inheritance by experimentation with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Make hypotheses for 2 Experiments: 1. Monohybrid crosses, 2. Sex– linked crosses, and test hypotheses by selecting fruit flies with different mutations, mating them, recording observations, and analyzing the phenotypic ratios of the offspring. […]
If these two individuals had offspring, what would be the ratio of the F 1 generation genotypes? What would be the ratio of the F 1 phenotype?
In-Class Assignment #13: Punnett Square Practice Answer the following questions and show your work! In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. You capture two black rabbits, one male and one female, and determine each genotype. The male is homozygous for the black fur allele, and the female is heterozygous for the black fur […]
