Genetics Answers

Apply Mendel’s laws of inheritance to the results of genetic crosses.

Some discussion on the use of technologies in industry/medicine is made. To improve and complete this part, you need to refer with examples to the science behind each technology and to benefits, cost and success of each technology.

Structure that attaches animal cells together to form tissues

The parents are brown-eyed, rhesus-positive, with II group of 

blood. They are heterozygotic by all three traits. How many and 

what types of gametes form of this parents? Brown eyes is 

autosomal.

Four main differences between the meiotic and mitotic cell division.

All gametes of the male contain a dominant allele, while all gametes of the female contain a recessive allele (P generation). Determine the genotypes and phenotypes (dominant / recessive trait) of the parental generation, possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 and F2 generations.

The man's mother is colorblind and the woman's father is colorblind. a. Determine the genotypes of men and women. b. Identify the possibilities of giving birth to their children (given color blindness).

Polydactyly (increased number of fingers) in humans is determined by the dominant allele P. In the marriage of a six-fingered woman and a normal man, two six-fingered and one normal five-fingered child were born. Determine the genotypes of the parents.

analyse the use of genetic technologies in relation to industry and/or medicine. The analysis will take into account the reasons and science behind the technologies, benefits to the relevant sector of industry or medicine, and include an appreciation  of efficacy and cost. This may be achieved effectively through the detailed examination of one  real-life example for each technology in detail

explain the genetic engineering technologies as listed in the unit content in terms of their relevance to industry and medicine, in addition to the basic principles behind how the technologies work.
