Genetics Answers

What are the different pattern of inheritance and their genotypes? Also examples for them. Such as codominance incomplete dominance multiple alleles and sex linked and blood types

Evaluate possible future uses of genetic engineering technologies

A black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig produced 12 black offspring. When albino was crossed with a second black one, 7 blacks ang 5 albinos were obtained. What is the best explanation for this genetic situation?

The regions on the rna molecule that are translated are called

The processes that lead to variation have been discussed. However, try also to criticise these processes a bit, for example are there any disadvantages to theses processes and their contribution to variation

Assume that the supplier of your primer set informs you that they delivered the wrong forward primer to you. The forward primer sent you is for a gene in another species, with no annealing sites in the human genome. What would your expected result be if you set up your PCR reaction mix using this primer set? Motivate your answer.

In squash plants, yellow fruit (Y) is dominant to white fruit (y). If two plants heterozygous for yellow fruit are crossed, what are the possible genotypes of the offspring?

Over several years, the owner of a palomino stud bred it with a palomino mare.  Of the many offspring produced, some appeared like their parents but others appeared chestnut and others still, cremello.  Explain how this is possible and use a Punnett square to support your answer

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. If two white flowers are crossed what percentage of their offspring will aslo be white?

Research the strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages of genetic technologies (DNA extraction, DNA amplification, gel electrophoresis, and transformation of cells) to speculate, in an informed manner, about specific future uses of generic engineering technologies. Your counterarguments must include discussion of the reliability and validity of the use of the technologies.

You must accurately reference your sources.
