Dihybirds involve the inheritance of two traits, two pairs of alleles.

In humans, brown eye color (B) is dominant to blue eyes color (b) and dark hair color (D) is dominant to blond hair color (d).

1. What is the genotype of a person heterozygous for both traits?

2. What are the possible genotypes of a blue-eye, dark haired individual?

3. What are the possible genotypes of a blue-eye, dark haired individual?

4. What is the genotype of a blue-eyed blond?

5. For an individual who is heterozygous for both traits, what would be the genotypes for the FOUR possible gametes they can produce?

Construct a Punnett square for two parents who are heterozygous for both traits: BbDd x BbDd to do this, place the possible gametes of each parent on the left side and top side, above column and row, and fill in the boxes with the offspring genotypes.

Sample Random Mating Lab Drosophilla

P generation was 2 males and 2 females of dumpy, vesitgal, Black Body, Sepia eyed, Irregular facets, and white eyed.

1) In the F1 generation, the most common phenotype is usually wild type for all traits. Based on allele frequencies, why, even though no true breeding wild type flies were present in the P generation does the F1 generation usually have a majority of wild type?

After reading the following prompt, propose a scientific study to determine whether or not evolution is occurring. In your answer, include the type of data you will need to collect, and the calculations you will use to figure out if the mechanism at work is natural selection or genetic drift. Is this population genetics research or quantitative genetics research?


Case #2: In elephants, trunks comes in a variety of lengths such that this trait exhibits a continuously variable phenotype: long, short, and everything in between. The size of an elephant’s trunk is determined by several genes, but it can also be influenced by environmental factors. The average trunk length in a population of elephants 20 years ago was 1.4 meters.

A nurse is reviewing the urinalysis of a patient admitted to the hospital with a urinary tract infection, nausea and vomiting. The following urine and blood results were obtained:

Urine

Urine specific gravity              1.030

Color                                       Dark Amber

Protein                                     2+

Blood trace

Blood

BUN                                       40

Creatinine 1.2

A human hemoglobin variant occurs in certain populations. The variant hemoglobin is slightly defective in its oxygen carrying function, causing a mild anemia. Normal alpha-hemoglobin has 141 amino acids, while the variant α-polypeptide is 150 amino acids long.

Beginning with the final amino acid coding codon (CGU Arg) the 3' region of the normal α-globin mRNA has the sequence:

5’ ...CGU UAA CCU UCG GUA GCA UGU GAU CCU CAC UAG GCC UCC GGG... 3’

a) Based on this information, explain how the variant α-hemoglobin is likely generated.

b) What is the sequence of the four C terminal amino acids of the variant α-hemoglobin.

Alex has a single mom who became pregnant when she was 18. The pregnancy was unplanned and Tara never married the father. Tara had to work during the entire pregnancy and was ostracized from her friend group for becoming pregnant during high school. The father also was abusive emotionally and physically until Tara cut off contact with him during her third trimester. She has minimal support from her parents but did graduate high school. She does take some community college courses while working at Lowe’s as a cashier and at a diner on the weekends as a waitress. She wants to improve her life and give her child the best life she can. She visits the library often to check out books for her daughter and herself. While she was pregnant, Tara did not have insurance but did visit the free clinic during her pregnancy. She lives on her own and occasionally her parents will babysit Alex if there is a problem with daycare. Alex usually spends 8-9 hours 5-6 days a week in daycare.

Obstacle/Challenge: Alex's family home has sustained terrible damage from a hurricane. Alex's mother and family are experiencing major trauma from the hurricane that has leveled their house. How does a stressor in utero impact the development of the 3 domains?

You will do some research using the article provided below along with your other course materials. Then write at least 3 paragraphs that explain how the obstacle impacts each developmental domain of the child/person. You need to include both the life scenario you have been assigned to and the obstacle presented.

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the physical development of Alex in utero

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the cognitive development of Alex in utero

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the socio-emotional development of Alex in utero
