1. Simulate Mendel’s experiments using a dihybrid cross, in which he defined the law of independent assortment. Use two physical traits in dragons – Color and body covering. The color locus has two alleles: Green (G) which is dominant, and yellow (g) which is recessive. The skin locus also has two alleles: Scaled (S) is dominant to scaleless (s).…

The process of genetic inheritance can be complex and confusing to most but having a solid understanding will further help your ability to comprehend genetic disorders, predispositions to certain diseases/conditions and how traits are passed from one generation to the next. By now, you should have been exposed to the concept of Punnett squares in “predicting” the likelihood a particular trait will be passed to offspring. This lab will examine the mapping of a human pedigree in determining the…

Given the above background information, it is hypothesized that there will not be a correlation between right dominant thumbs and right-handedness and left dominant thumbs and left-handedness.…

“It is thus tolerance that is the source of peace, and intolerance that is the source of disorder and squabbling,” said the famous French philosopher Pierre Bayle. In the novel, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, the characters Sophie, Sally, and Anne worry about tribulation when it comes to being “normal” and tolerated by people. The author demonstrates the intolerance of physical deformities, mental abnormalities, and the inferior treatment of women in the town of Waknuk.…
Disclaimer: When taking a family genetic history on an actual client, it is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the person you are interviewing that they do NOT need to disclose information that they wish to keep confidential. If the adult participant decides not to share information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.”…
Upon reading the literature that the researcher found by googling, "Thumb Dominance," they discovered that almost every human being has a dominant thumb whether it be the right thumb or the left thumb on top after naturally clasping their hands together. However, if the individual tries to force their clasped hands to let the other thumb become dominant it 's most often described as feeling awkward or abnormal. In 1999, a scientist by the name of Reiss completed 18 studies of parents and their children regarding this topic. What he discovered was that this dominant thumb issue could have something to do with basic genetics between the parents and their children.…
The theory of genetics has been examined by many theorists who believe that genetics is the key contributing factor to the cause of handedness. The only genetic models that successfully explain the family incidence data are those of Annett and McManus, which share the feature of including a random component reflecting the biological occurrence of unpredictable irregularity. The models have each been modified to explain the greater incidence of left-handedness in males. The most predominant theory of handedness is Annett's (1972) right shift theory. The theory poses that a single autosomal gene labeled the right shift (rs+) gene if dominant in a person carrying at least one copy were mostly right-handed and those absent from carrying the gene would have a and fifty-fifty chance of being either right-handed or left-handed. The model allows for a strong…
There is no correlation between which thumb is on top and the hand dominance when the hands are clasped. In this hypothesis we accept that these two characteristics are genetically unrelated.…
