Genetics Problems 1. Brown eyes are dominant over blue. What are the chances that the first child of a marriage of two hybrid (heterozygous) brown-eyed parents will be blue-eyed? What are the chances of the second child being blue-eyed? BB Bb Bb bb There is a 25% chance that the first child will be blue-eyed and a 75% chance the child will be brown-eyed. There is a 50% chance that the trait for brown eyes will overpower the recessive trait for blue eyes. 2.In humans‚ color-blindness

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the correlation between the ability to taste the bitterness of phenylthiocarbamide‚ an organic compound used in genetics‚ and the ability and response of the tasting sodium benzoate paper‚ a food preservative. It is claimed that there is a direct relationship between the genes that control the tasting abilities of these two substances‚ primarily that if you had the ability to taste PTC‚ you would have a specific taste response for sodium

SIMULATION OF NATURAL SELECTION MATERIALS Plastic or paper bag containing 100 beads of two colours additional beads as needed. AIM To prove that both allele and genotype frequencies in a population would not remain constant if natural selection occurs. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. INTRODUCTION Natural selection‚ the differential survival and reproduction of individuals was first proposed by

Africans was previously unknown. We conducted a genotypephenotype association study in 470 Tanzanians‚ Kenyans and Sudanese and identified three SNPs (G/C-14010‚ T/G-13915 and C/G-13907) that are associated with lactase persistence and that have derived alleles that significantly enhance transcription from the LCT promoter in vitro. These SNPs originated on different haplotype backgrounds from the European C/T-13910 SNP and from each other. Genotyping across a 3-Mb region demonstrated haplotype homozygosity

Introduction An experiment was done to determine the allele frequencies for a gene in a model population and to describe the affect of natural selection on this population. The Hardy-Weinburg theorem states that the gene pool of a non-evolving population remains constant over generation but the natural effect of Hardy-Weinburg’s equilibrium by selecting the individuals who are most fit for the environment‚ and allowing them to reproduce more of the genotype that is allowing them to survive.

homozygous for no insert. These were my observed absolute allele frequencies and I was able to calculate the observed relative frequencies by solving for p and q. The frequency of p was 2 times the 13 p alleles plus the 5 alleles from the heterozygotes divided by a total of 42 alleles in the class. The calculated p frequency is .738. The frequency of q was 2 times the 3 q alleles plus the 5 alleles from the heterozygotes divided by the total 42 alleles. The calculated q frequency is .262. The two frequencies
