melanogaster and the chi-squared analysis to test the hypothesis. Cross 1- Male and Female offspring virtually the same, however there are more non-recombinants than there are recombinants. (points to linkage) Cross 2- Major disproportions in phenotypes between genders, suggesting x-linkage. Also, very few recombinants. Cross 3- Male and Female offspring virtually the same, clearly follows…

expressed nearly two times higher than is IRX1(Brown). So using IRX3 as a model, shown in Figure 1C, the top 25 genes that were most related to IRX3 were the ones chosen for further analysis(Brown). Of these 25 genes, 9 were not linked to a particular phenotype, leaving 16 genes to analyze(Brown). From this groupings of genes, some had function in cellulose content, stem development, xylan deficiency, carbohydrate composition, or sugar content (Brown). This was a…

The major mythical aspect of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban not surprisingly violates the fundamental principles of science. This novel incorporates several ideas that do not have a scientific basis, for example the concept of “transfiguration”, the ability of humans to transform into animals. However, from the standpoint of evolutionary biology, Azkaban provides examples of evolution in practice, including gene expression and hybrid species. It also includes characters…

head that prevents the brain to grow normally, resulting in a deformed head (Mozer, 2001). After several studies, Drop was proven an essential gene to neural development and cell differentiation. Mutations in this gene absolutely develop a severe phenotype, as the sensorial system plays an important role in the animal body. Future researches with Drop gene could establish a treatment for craniosynostosis or relieve the severe symptoms of this disorder (Mozer, 2001). This big similarity gives…

predict your expected F2 Generation results. Show a Punnett square of the cross and determine the percentages of each phenotype that you expected to find. F f F FF Ff f Ff ff 75% of wild type is Dominant and 25% is recessive. Activity 3 – F2 Generation Observations Summarize the procedures that were conducted during this final week of this…

The knowing of these gene functions and their contribution for DS phenotype are fundamental for the understanding of the syndrome and for providing basis for the planning of therapeutic strategies to improve the quality of life of DS individuals. The first and most accepted hypothesis for DS phenotype is that the triple genes are “overexpressed” and the imbalance of genes on chromosome 21 is why there is molecular dysfunctions in DS…

is known as their phenotype, and whatever alleles the kitten has is known as their genotype. If the kitten’s genotype is two dominant alleles, then that’s what their phenotype will be. This is known as having a homozygous genotype. If a kitten’s genotype is the the two recessive alleles, then that is what their phenotype will be. This is known as a homozygous recessive genotype. However, if a kitten’s genotype is one recessive allele and one dominant allele, than their phenotype will be of the…

experiment was to learn more and be able to understand the Mendelian Genetics. We did an actual cross of fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster) such as the monohybrid, dihybrid, X-linked A, X-linked B and three points cross. Finally, we learned how the phenotype is passes from the parent of fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster) to the offspring and we are able to do the test precision of the 3:1(monohybrid) and 9:3:3:1(Dihybrid) ratios. The model of fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster) is a really…

effective for experiencing the breeding of traits in a realistic simulation and correlating these visual presentations into the Punnett Squares. The objective of this lab was to notice and explore the key differences between genotype and phenotype. Where phenotype is the physical characteristics of a trait, and genotypes are all the possible genetic combinations an organism can obtain from its parental generation. Two mice were used in this experiment, and these two mice were the parental…

occurs when two separate ova are fertilized by two sperm and produce two zygotes. 1 Discussion Question: Is the Punnett square the only way to determine offspring phenotypes? A phenotype is a noticeable attribute. In my opinion, the Punnett square is the only thing that is able to predict an offspring’s phenotype. For example, scientists want to figure out how one child has a different eye color than his three siblings, his mother, and his father. The child has green eyes and the…
