Genotype

the Curly Wing genetic trait is a Dominant allele trait. In genetics, recessive and dominant genes are key factors in determining the phenotypes and genotypes in the offspring. Dominant genes are the expressed trait shown in the offspring, meaning if two alleles of a pair differ, the dominant gene is the gene that determines the phenotype and genotype. The recessive gene is the masked trait, meaning if two alleles of a pair differ, the recessive gene is the trait that…

(3) Hepatitis C virus is part of Flaviviridae family which spread the virus through arthropod vectors. Moreover, hepatitis C virus consist of “six major genotypes and more than 70 subtypes” (3). Hepatitis C virus infection usually are undetected due to none significant symptoms during initial stage. Therefore, frequent infection is prevalence and it is most likely to be developed to cirrhosis and hepatocellular…

It is the evolution of a population or a species caused by random events, impossible to predict. From a genetic point of view, it is the change in frequency of an allele or genotype, within a population, regardless of mutations, natural selection and migration. Genetic drift is caused by random and unpredictable phenomena, like, the chance that sperm and eggs may encounter, in the case of sexual reproduction. The effects of…

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder. It creates a non-healthy obsession in people about what they eat. They may obsess negatively about their weight and might starve or stop eating altogether. Studies conducted in Australia and New Zealand has seen an increased surge in the number of anorexia nervosa patients identified in the youth community. It was seen that almost half of adolescent girls are seen to have practices extreme dieting. They have done induced vomiting and also smoke so as to…

called “Breeding Bunnies”. In the lab we examined a small population of wild rabbits. We put fifty red beads(represent F for fur) and fifty white beads(represents f for furless). Without looking we selected two beans at a time to show the bunnies genotype. If the bunny was recessive (ff) then the bunny would die because they can’t survive the winter. My classes average results showed that after ten generations the gene frequency went from 50% to 11%. Both of these labs…

Gender identity affects many aspects of a person’s life. Shaped by genes, physiology, socialization, and environment. Gender influences how people present themselves to others, appearance, social partners, activities, etc. Although traditionally thought to pertain to male or female, gender identity exists across a continuum and can change throughout a person’s life. Sex differentiation helps explain why traditionally, people were classified into two separate genders. Sex differentiation is…

Abstract Tafazzin, encoded by the TAZ gene, is a mitochondrial membrane-associated protein that remodels cardiolipin (CL), an important mitochondrial phospholipid. CL is essential for proper mitochondrial structure and function, ensuring proper functioning of energy production and apoptosis. TAZ mutations are associated with the X-linked metabolic disorder, Barth syndrome (BTHS). BTHS is a lipid metabolic disorder that affects mitochondria that is often fatal in infancy and early childhood, due…

The purpose of this experiment will be to explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of the lactase gene in individuals from two unique ethnic backgrounds in order to understand more regarding how ethnicity impacts the genotype of individuals. of these single nucleotide polymorphisms which would support the…

generally true/applicable, or, less usefully, 2) similarly specific circumstances, may yield the opposite results (Fig 4.1, p115-6). Examples of areas in which such apparent contradictions may arise might be anything from the embryonic development of a genotype in a small temperature range to the influence of…

Based on Mendel’s experimental observation and conclusion on pea plants, he proposed four postulates including one that each phenotypical characteristic are controlled by a pair of unit factors also known as alleles that separate independently in gametes. Although Mendel’s contribution to genetics isn’t wrong, there are some exceptions of inheritances that do not follow Mendel’s principles. Non-mendelian inheritance traits include maternal effects, epigenetics, and extranuclear genes. What makes…
