that are expressed in organisms due to genes passed down to them by their parents. The genes can be carried on either the autosomes or the sex chromosomes. The traits themselves can be either dominant or recessive‚ and are referred to physically as phenotypes and genetically as genotypes.

Simulated ABO and Rh Blood Typing Background information: Science Kit and Boreal Laboratories Protocol (Materials and Methods): NeoSci ABO-Rh Typing Using Neo/BLOOD Introduction Around 1900‚ Karl Landsteiner discovered that there are at least four different kinds of human blood based on the presences or absence of specific agglutinogens (agglutinating antigens) on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs‚ also known as erythrocytes). These antigens have been designated as A and B. Antibodies

Pervious studies focused on natural selection by predation being a strong contributing factor of polymorphic color distribution in a population. While there is some truth in this model‚ it may overlook the importance that sexual selection plays‚ as will be depicted in the following examples. Many examples demonstrate that animals in a particular species tend to mate with individuals that share similar color patterns‚ in fact it is rare to see individuals with dissimilar color patterns mate.

The tawny owl‚ otherwise known by its scientific name‚ Strix Aluco‚ or simply the brown owl‚ is a bird native to much of Eurasia. The tawny owl is known for it’s small‚ compact body‚ as well as its brown colorations as it is named for. This specific breed of owl is known in folklore to have an uncanny sense of sight during the night time‚ however this has been disproven through the work of Selig Hecht and Maurice Pirenne (Hecht and Pirenne‚ 1940). It was actually proven through their work that the

any of several forms of a gene‚ usually arising through mutation‚ that are responsible for hereditary variation. Our experiment was formed to study the allele frequency in a single trait caused by a single gene. We conducted a survey to review the phenotype population of people at Southwest CTA. The research was organized to find the allele and genotype frequency of people who use their right hand versus their left hand. The data showed that the dominant allele was more frequent than the recessive‚

First-degree relatives of children with autism are at raised risk not only of autism itself‚ but also of a lesser variant (or broader phenotype) of autism (Baron-Cohen & Hammer‚ 1997; Bolton et al.‚ 1994). One model proposes that the broader phenotype might be characterised as involving deficits in ‘folk psychology’ (social understanding) in the presence of intact or superior abilities in ‘folk physics’ (understanding inanimate objects) (Baron-Cohen
