Textbook Question
Chapter A, Problem 2P
Go online to the Mendelian Index of Man (OMIM) website. Look up the following genetic conditions and answer the questions posted about them.
a. Look up Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), OMIM number
b. Go to the “Population Genetics” section discussing the TSD gene. In few sentences, summarize the human population in which TSD is most frequently found and give the approximate frequency of heterozygous carriers for the TSD mutation in North America Jews.
c. Look up cystic fibrosis (CF), OMIM
d. Go to the “Molecular Genetics” section and describe the most common mutation of the CF gene.

Pedigree 1: What is the most likely mode of inheritance of this disease given its
pattern on the pedigree?
Autosomal Dominant
Autosomal Recessive
O X-Linked Dominant
O X-Linked Recessive
The purpose of this assignment is to understand the principles of Mendelian and human genetics and the structure of DNA and how genetic code is converted to protein.
After completing the three Unit 6 Labs on Connect (above), apply critical thinking to answer the following:1. Fruit Flies and Genetics Research: Imagine you are working in a genetics lab with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism for genetics research. You want to determine whether a trait you have discovered in fruit flies is dominant or recessive.• Explain how you would design an experiment to answer this question.• Predict what types of outcomes are possible. Which would indicate that the trait is dominant? Which would indicate that it is recessive?2. Model Genetic Organisms: Why are fruit flies considered a model genetic organism? Would humans fit this description?

Instructions: Before Mendel and his results were fully accepted, there were many
theories that were proposed that tried to explain how traits were passed on from one
generation to another. In the space provided, list down the important points of each theory.

Include a brief 1-2 sentence caption below each image that gives a description of the image and explains its relevance to your chosen disorder. The two images should NOT convey the same exact information. Ideas of images to use include: karyotypes, pedigrees, DNA sequences, etc. Please note: the images should be specific to your chosen disorder. The 2 required images must be related to cause and/or inheritance pattern. Images of an individual with the disorder will not count toward your 2 required images as they do not contribute to the audience's understanding of cause and/or inheritance pattern.arrow_forward
