first two beads that are touched. This represents the first random mating. Repeat this procedure 25 times. Each time putting the beads back into the container. 6. Calculate the genotype frequencies, expressed as fractions or decimals, using Punnett squares 7. Add the numbers for each of the possible genotypes produced by the matings in columns 8–10 of Table 2. 8. Calculate the frequency of p and q based on the values obtained for the random mating of the…
unit’s purpose is to make students aware of the concepts of genetics and inheritance and other related concepts. Students will learn about inheritance patterns, genetic disorders, and they will predict genetic outcomes and probability using Punnett squares and pedigrees. Students will also examine the various genetics tests to determine if certain genetic diseases will be inherited.…
What would a world be like if the most basic human freedoms were stripped away from us? For example, what if the act of entering a romantic relationship with another human being was made impossible? Or perhaps reproduction becomes heavily regulated and any hopes of starting a regular family are shattered? Luckily, reality is free of dystopian-esque problems like these. The modern era has lead to advances far beyond computers and smartphones; Science has discovered ways to unlock the secrets of…
Gas Exchange + Transport Pulmonary circulation: circulation from heart to lungs Systemic circulation: circulation from lungs to organs Gas exchange is the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs in the capillaries, which are microscopic vessels in the lungs. In humans, nutrients and oxygen are transferred through the bloodstream. Cells can’t rely solely on diffusion, so this transport system is important…
Rationale Individuals have different preference for the use of the hand. These hand preferences are right-handedness, left-handedness and ambidextrous which is the ability to do use the both hands in doing different tasks. The handedness of a person can be determined if the specific hand can do the task comfortably in situations like writing and throwing. The right-handedness of the people has approximately 85% in the society (Porac, 2016). Statistically, the right-handed are more dominant and…
Maple Syrup Urine Disease Hannah Gentry , 13SK , 8/21/2014 Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare genetic disorder where an aminoacidopathy secondary to an enzyme defect in the catabolic pathway of the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, which are required in order to metabolize certain amino acids in the human body. In other words, it is a metabolism disorder, where the infant is unable to break down the amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Build up of these…
