Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2MC
Imagine you are looking at a DNA profile that shows an STR pattern of a mother's DNA and her child's DNA. Will all of the bands of the child's DNA match those of the mother?
a. Yes, because the mother's DNA and her child's DNA are identical.
b. Yes, because the child developed from her mother's egg.
c. No, because half of the child's DNA is inherited from its father.
d. No, because the child's DNA is a random sampling of its mother's.

(short answer)
Imagine you’ve been offered a deal from a genomics company. You can get a free genome sequence – an analysis of all of your DNA that includes a report of your ancestry, traits and a medical profile. The medical profile tells you about diseases for which you have a low risk of getting, and also those you have a high risk of getting. Are you interested? Why or why not?
Gene mapping is often used to predict genetic traits that can be passed on, but what exactly does it map?
A. Genes on a chromosome
B.Genes in the brain
C. Genes in the cell
D. Genes in the nucleus
