Summary Introduction
To complete: The given map showing some key concepts of genetics.
Introduction: Genetics forms the basis of heredity. It is the study of genes, inheritance patterns, and their expression leading to various traits in living beings.
Answer to Problem 1CC

Fig.1:Key concepts of genetics
Explanation of Solution
(a)
Correct answer: Alleles
Explanation: Genes have alternate forms known as alleles. The two alleles of a gene segregate into different gametes and are transmitted to offspring. Hence, the correct answer is alleles.
(b)
Correct answer: Loci
Explanation: Genes are DNA sequences that code for specific traits. The specific position of a gene on a chromosome is known as locus. The plural of locus is loci. Hence, the correct answer is loci.
(c)
Correct answer: Homozygous
Explanation: The alleles of a gene segregate into gametes and transmitted to offspring. They are dominant and recessive alleles. When the two alleles are same in an individual(either dominant or recessive), its genotype is homozygous. Hence, the correct answer is homozygous.
(d)
Correct answer: Dominant
Explanation: Dominance in alleles of a gene occurs when a phenotypic effect of one allele suppresses the phenotypic effect of a second allele. If the two alleles are different in an individual, then the dominant allele out of the two alleles expresses itself and determines the phenotype. Hence, the correct answer is dominant.
(e)
Correct answer: Recessive
Explanation: A dominant allele masks the expression of a second allele. The masked allele is known as recessive because its phenotypic effect is suppressed. Hence, the correct answer is recessive.
(f)
Correct answer: Incomplete dominance
Explanation: Dominance explains how different alleles of a gene express themselves. Some genes show incomplete dominance, which means that individuals with homozygous alleles produce offspring that is intermediate of the two parent alleles. Hence, the correct answer is incomplete dominance.

The world can be a scary place. There are many disease causing organisms and genetic disorders that can make life difficult. As you read the chapter, be thinking about your family history of genetic disorders, how these disorders are passed on through generations, and what types of testing can be done to look for these alleles. In this exercise you will reflect on the pros and cons of genetic testing and how it may affect you.
Please remember to add a question to engage your classmates in the discussion.
What might the consequences be of having this information (e.g. health insurance coverage, privacy, etc.)?

This gene allele is found almost exclusively in African Americans. This was a problem because a large number of these cell lines, excluding HeLa cells, were established from Caucasian individuals. He suggested that these lines were in fact contaminated with HeLa cells, which proliferate at extreme rates and were used in labs all over the world. What would you expect was the response of those scientists using the “contaminated” cell lines? Do you think this marker is enough to establish this contamination?arrow_forwardChromosomes and Heredity Multiple Choice: Write the CAPITAL letter of your answer choice in the blank AND circle the letter. 1.
