Question
1. Given that there's a science to back you up and you actually have the capability of producing an offspring with your desired traits, would you do it? What should the limitations be if you have to put a limit on this?
2. On the other hand, give some reasons why you will not choose to do it even if there's a science to back you up and you actually have the capability of producing an offspring with your desired traits.

- 2. A survey was conducted for a certain trait (the ability to roll tongue or inability to roll the tongue) in a population. The result shows that 215 of the respondents can roll their tongue and 85 cannot roll their tongue. The picture below shows a person rolling his tongue. Rolling the tongue into a tube shape is often described as a dominant trait. If the dominant allele is represented by R (can roll tongue) and r represents the recessive allele, calculate the phenotypic frequencies, allele frequencies, the expected numbers of the three genotypic classes and the expected numbers of the two phenotypic classes (assuming random mating). Using chi-square test, determine whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. REMEMBER: Phenotype RR and Rr Can roll tongue Cannot roll tongue Genotype HWE term p2 and 2pq q? rr Again, follow the format below for your answers. Regarding letter "F" on the format, you will show the computations on how you arrive to the chi-square value…arrow_forward5.

- 1.What does a male cricket need to be able to reproduce? 2. Is calling good or bad for a cricket's fitness? 3. Give some examples of selection at work in this cricket story. 4. How does selection favor calling? (When is calling a good thing?) a) How does selection favor not calling? (When is not calling a good thing?)arrow_forward5. The gene controlling the human ABO blood group system has three alleles that determine the nature of the antigens on the membranes of red cells. Allele lª codes for the production of antigen A on the surface of red blood cells. Allele IB codes for the production of antigen B on the surface of red blood cells. Allele lº does not code for any antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Alleles IA and IB are co-dominant and both alleles are dominant over lº a. Use this information to determine the possible genotypes, antigens and blood group phenotypes within a population. Genotype Antigen(s) Blood Group Phenotypearrow_forwardThink about a population of 50 individuals. In this population there are 6 individuals that have a homozygous recessive genotype and 9 individuals have a heterozygous genotype. The gene exhibits complete dominance. What proportion of individuals exhibit a dominant phenotype? Check both your the way that you think of this and how you calculate this one. Write it out.arrow_forward

Hello, Can you please help me with the next question (if references are posible I will apreciate it a lot): - Barriers to delegation include underdelegation, overdelegation, and improper delegation. Define each of these and give at least 1 example of each. Thank you in advance!arrow_forward3. How do different types of traits differ in how quickly they respond and how easily they can be reversed? MESSAGEarrow_forward4. In celery the leaves can be curly (Dominant; L) or straight (recessive; l). Another trait is spots on the leaves. Dark green spots (G) are dominant over white spots (g). Create a Punnett square that shows all of the possible offspring that could occur from breeding the following: 1. Plant 1: Heterozygous dominant for both traits 2. Plant 2: Recessive for both traits 3. Include the percentage/ratio of occurrence for each phenotyarrow_forward
