TEXT ANSWER
The inheritance patterns for some traits in guinea pigs are listed in the table below.
1. Identify the phenotype of a guinea pig with the genotype HhBBrr.
2. Using the allele symbols in the table, identify the genotype of a guinea pig that is
recessive for hair length, heterozygous for hair color, and homozygous dominant for
hair texture.

DNA fingerprinting and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis are often used to test for paternity. A child inherits chromosomes from both mother and father, so DNA from a child displays restriction fragments derived from each parent. In the gel shown below, which child, if any, can be excluded as being the biological offspring of the putative father? Lane M is the sample from the mother, F from the putative father, and C1, C2, and C3 from the children
Answer the following questions.
1. Explain the steps associated with DNA profiling and state its advantages and disadvantages,
2. Describe how mutations are linked to DNA polymorphism.
GUIDELINES:
Each answer should be 250 words in length.
Content should not be copied.
