Because the tall trait covered up the short trait the tall trait is considered dominant and the short trait is considered recessive (McClean,…
Allele frequency was calculated for each gene within the small population for each of the 9 generations (Figure 1). In regards to the can size gene, in generation 0, each of the 3 alleles; 6oz, 12oz, and 16oz, were present, but after this generation the 16oz allele never appeared again (Figure 1A). The 6oz allele was the most abundant, but in generation 6, once the 12oz allele reappeared, it began to become more common (Figure 1A). For the skin type gene, only the wet cloth and bare metal alleles were present in generation 0, but by generation 5 the insulation allele was the sole allele for skin type in the successive…
Did research on what males and females look like. We observed the frozen flies. On the first week we used fly nap as an anesthetic for the flies and waiting for them to fall asleep. We sexed the flies and put 10 male and 10 female into a tube.…
BrickLAB Genetics $875.00 If Aunt Muriel and Uncle Charles both have blue eyes, could their brand new baby have brown eyes? By the end of this 12-lesson camp, students will be equipped to answer questions like these and more as they explore the fascinating world of genetics and heredity. Using PCS Edventures BrickLAB as a hands-on tool for demonstration, build model families to explore the concepts of heredity and construct strands of DNA while diving into microscopic levels of learning. Exploring the basics of inheritance, the intricate coding of genes and the impacts of mutations in DNA transcription illustrates how each form of life is special and distinctive.…
4. Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) PAI-1 is used to evaluate the risk of thrombosis. It is a serine protease inhibitor (serpin), therefore it is also known as serpin E1. Human SERPINE1 gene encodes for PAI-1. PAI-1 inhibits Fibrinolysis through the inhibition of the serine proteases, Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), which activate plasminogen.…
For example, the eye colors in fruit flies and the color blindness for the human traits; both sex-link traits are determined by the female allele therefore most of the male are the one that carries these…
Preparing Subcultures. We obtained a stock vial with hot cheeto and a stock vial of wild type Drosophila melanogaster. We began our study of hot cheeto, a bristle mutation, by setting up subcultures of the mutant. We used the hot cheeto stock to create a new subculture to collect virgin females to be used for the genetic crosses. To reduce the chance of infection when creating subcultures, we disinfected the workplace station with a solution of 70% ethanol.…

Gregor Mendel was born 1822, and he is known as “Father of Genetics”. He initially studied the inheritance of just one pair of contrasting traits. Mendel begins his experiment with…
3. Homozygous and heterozygous both have something in common which is that…
The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the…
The pattern that CF is inherited by is called the autosomal recessive pattern. This is when the 2 copies (1 from mom and 1 from dad) of the gene have the…
F1’s genotype, which is the offspring of DD and dd had 74% wild type and 26% vestigial. F2’s genotype, which is the offspring of tr (black and sepia) and TR (tan and red) was varying from rt .08%, Rt 19%, rT 18%, and RT 55%. We then mated F1 with each other and did the same with…
Because the most significant cause of Alzheimer’s disease is age, a sufferer is likely to have inherited the disease if they develop it at a particularly young age, even though these gene mutations are rare. Alzheimer’s disease has also shown to be inherited through a more complex pattern rather than a single gene mutation. For example, the gene ‘apolipoprotein E’ (which is found in chromosome 19) transports lipoproteins, vitamins and cholesterol into the lymph system and consequently into the blood. This gene has three alleles (APOE e2, APOE e3 and APOE e4), and we each have two copies of the gene (one from each parent due to the fusion of the sperm and egg which each contain one of each chromosome due to meiosis).…
How Genetics Affect Me If you really think about your traits/genes and where they come from it's quite interesting. See you have heritable/genetic traits which of course you get from both your parents, then there is this thing called, hybrid which is two different things that are put into one. Finally you have non-heritable traits which basically means that you don’t get things from your parents. So read more if you want to know more about traits and how cool they are.…
