Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 17PDQ
When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.
The basis for rejecting any null hypothesis is arbitrary. The researcher can set more or less stringent standards by deciding to raise or lower the critical p value. Would the use of a standard of p = 0.10 be more or less stringent in failing to reject the null hypothesis? Explain.

We also considered some of the methods and reasoning by which these ideas, concepts, and techniques were developed. On the basis of these discussions,

What does p and q represent in the equations?
Which equation do you use if I am asking for allele frequency?
If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.1, what is the frequency of the dominant allele?

- Stil confused on part 3. 3. Use the chi-squared test to determine if these data fit the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium model. The degrees of freedom for this test should be 1. Why is this appropriate? Is the hypothesis accpeted because the chi square value calulated is less than the critical value from the chart? And why do we use df=1? Is it because we're only looking at 2 alleles?arrow_forwardQuestion GROUP A: Genetics Problems In humans, red-green color blindness is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. A male with normal vision and his color-blind wife have a child. If the child is male what is the probability that he will be color-blind? The female in the previous problem has a daughter that is color-blind. The husband claims that this cannot be his child. Can you support or refute his argument?arrow_forwardQuestion 17 How do we go from a genetic association to a causal relation between a gene and a phenotype? ◇ We can use a GWAS with many different samples to identify causal alleles. O We can quantify gene expression of a gene of interest and determine the relationship with a phenotype. O We can determine how often an associated allele occurs in cases that have a disease, which will allow us to determine a causal relationship. By silencing a gene, we can study the effect of that gene on the phenotype. Question 18 What is the function of the CRISPR-Cas system in nature?

- "How to Solve Genetic Problems" Using Letters for Alleles For convenience, the genes of an allele pair are usually symbolized by a letter from the alphabet. A large letter is used for the dominant trait and a small letter for the recessive trait. When we want to describe the genotype of an organism, we use both letters to represent the alleles inherited from the parents. For example, free earlobes is a dominant allele and attached earlobes is recessive. You would use a capital "F" to indicate the dominant allele and a small “f" to indicate the recessive allele in describing an individual. 1. Write the three genotypes for earlobe attachment as it applies to the following individuals. a. Heterozygous b. Homozygous Dominant c. Homozygous Recessive 2. When it comes to symbolizing incomplete dominance with letters, it is best to use the letter "C" for one allele and "C'" for the other allele. List the three possible genotypes for hair type. a.

O A genome-wide association study is an approach that involves testing genetic variations in the genomes of many people to find genetic variations associated with a particular disease. O When DNA variations are linked to a trait through a genome-wide association study, they always exhibit an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. O Genome-wide association studies are useful because they can identify alleles that have small effects on multifactorial traits. O Genome-wide association studies only became possible in the past 5-10 years when methods such as SNP-chip and whole genome sequencing were invented.arrow_forwardPlease do this for me!!

- Required information A single-factor cross is one in which the inheritance of only one character and its associated genotypes are followed. Punnett squares are often used to predict the outcomes of simple genetic crosses. Based on Mendel's laws, the genotypes of the parents can be used to predict the genes in their gametes and the resulting progeny. A Punnett square enables you to predict the types of offspring the parents are expected to produce and in what proportions. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between two parents who are heterozygous for the gene, what are the gamete possibilities of the parer Mother's gamete possibilities Father's gamete possibilities of 19 Show All MacBook Air 田arrow_forwardQuestion: This is a normal 3 point test cross, except that instead of regular phenotypes, you are looking at DNA markers on a gel. One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.arrow_forwardQuestion 10 of 18 Attempt 10 Suppose a geneticist uses a three-point testeross to map three recessive, linked hummingbird wing-shape mutations called tk, f, and s, where tk is associated with thick wings, f is associated with flat wings, and s is associated with sharp wings. He first crosses homozygous sharp birds to homozygous thick, flat birds. Next, he testcrosses the Fi progeny to thick, flat, sharp birds. He obtained the results shown. Given this data, label the progeny phenotypic classes as either parental, single crossover (SCO), or double crossover (DCO) recombinant types. Each label may be used multiple times. Two classes have already been filled in.
