Question
Single gene
Be able to set up and use a Punnett square to solve problems and make predictions.
- Be able to explain the major steps in how information from our genes is used to make proteins. Or to show it in a labeled diagram.
- Be able to explain whatis transcription, translation. Where in the cell do these processes occur? In what order? What type of molecules are being made [DNA, RNA, protein]? What are their building blocks?
- What is a mutation? How can a mutation in DNA cause a change in a protein? (use the following terms to answer: codon, transcription, translation, mRNA).
- What is gene expression? Why is regulation of gene expression important for normal development? In cancer?
- What are the building blocks of DNA? Of RNA? Of proteins?

- identify Mendelian inheritance patterns and pedigree analysis.arrow_forwardHelp with the following fill in the blanks and highlight your answers in bold :)arrow_forwardCANDY GENETICS: A college student studying genetics has hypothesized that Tavorite type of candy is a genetically inherited trait and thus, 75% of people will prefer Hershey's; 10% Twix; 10% Nerds; and 5% Sour Patch Kids. After tabulating his findings, his data is as follows... 720 prefer Hershey's: 98 prefer Twix; 112 prefer Nerds; and 70 prefer Sour Patch Kids. Statistically, you want to know if his data supports his hypothesis (A) State the null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Mendel's Eggs Predict the Inheritance Patterns of the offspring by observing the parent's Egg color. dominant to Pink (p). Egg 1: Looking at Egg 1 the Parents are homozygous Purple (PP) and Pink (pp). Purple (P) is Before opening the egg, predict the color of their 4 offspring. Prediction : Actual Offspring: Number and color of predicted offspring: Egg 2: Looking at Egg 2 the Parents are heterozygous (Pp) and are both Blue (P)Blue, p green Before opening the egg, predict the color of their 4 offspring. Prediction : Actual Offspring: Number and color of predicted offspring:arrow_forwardFor each example of gene expression, match the most likely pattern of inheritance. In summer squash fruit color may be white, yellow or green. Yellow is dominant over green. White hides the effect of yellow or green and is produced by ww. In rabbits coat color (full, chinchilla, Himalayan, albino) is determined by four different alleles. In sweat pea plants red coloration of flower is due to interaction of two genes, C and R. The white flower color is due to being either cc or rr regardless of the genotype for the other gene.…arrow_forwardTraits are are controlled by a single gene, such as corn color, can be used fo predictability of trait in inheritance in humans also. This is especially import for parents who may carry alleles that code for diseases. Parents can predic probabilities that their child might inherit a disease if they know their own genotype. Parents that are carriers (heterozygous) may not show disease, bu can still pass on a disease allele. Read the scenario below (in bold). Using a separate piece of paper and draw out a Punnett square, with required information (questions 1-5). The letter D will be used to represent the domina (healthy) allele. Tom and his wife Julie are both carriers for cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disease. Draw a Punnett square and be sure to include the following information for full credit: 1. Place the parents alleles at the top and on the left side. 2. Write in the allele crosses inside the Punnett squares. 3. Write out the genotypes probabilities for an offspring. 4.…arrow_forward
