You are a researcher who is interested in three genes in drosophila: The a gene, the b gene and the c gene. You think the genes may be linked, so you decide to do a cross using a true-breeding a+/b+/c+ fly and an a/b/c fly. The F1 generation is all a+/b+/c+. However, when the F1 generation is bred to a true-breeding a/b/c fly, it yields the following offspring phenotypes: 589 a+/b+/c+ ; 603 a/b/c ; 183 a+/b/c ; 176 a/b+/c+ ; 92 a/b+/c ; 95 a+/b/c+ ; 4 a+/b+/c ; 6 a/b/c+. Is this the expected ratio for unlinked genes (hint: the critical chi-squared value is 7.815)?

Stephen Jay Gould and others have argued that the evolution of a self-conscious, intelligent species (i.e., humans) was historically contingent, or it would not have occurred had any of a great many historical events been different. The philosopher Daniel Dennett and others have disagreed, arguing that convergent evolution is so common that if humans had not evolved, some other lineage would probably have given rise to a species with similar mental abilities. Based on what you have learned concerning Evolutionary Theory, which of these ideas do you think are correct – and why? If Gould’s position is right, what philosophical implications does his reasoning suggest – and why?

Genetics

What are some causes of cancer?

Cancer can arise spontaneously, but can also be induced as a result of environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking. If you were in charge of allocating resources for cancer prevention, would you emphasize research on curing cancer, or education about cancer prevention? Explain your answer.

Although tobacco smoking is responsible for a large number of human cancers, not all smokers develop cancer. Why is this?

Pick a specific tumor suppressor gene or oncogene and explain how this gene can lead to or prevent cancer. Be sure to focus on the mechanism of how your chosen gene impacts the cell cycle. You can alternatively pick a virus that has been associated with cancer and explain how that virus impacts the cell cycle and ultimately leads to cancer.
