Document Summary

Genetics: what is determined in inheritance and what is involved. Variation, and why some things are present in some genes pertaining to one family and not to others. Discusses resistance to various diseases: early on - how does genetics and inheritance work, also involved in genetic analysis, genetic analysis- using the tools or methods of genetics to understand some systems or development. Start with a trait of interest- what are the genes or traits involved in wing development. Start with a trait or system of interest. Look for variations in that population. look to see if there are genes involved in determining wing colour or size etc. Or can generate genes, blast with x-rays and mutagens and create genetic variation and then study imperative results involved: reverse genetics- used more recently since the whole genome can be sequenced. Look through the whole sequence and dna and look for things that are part of a gene like stop codon and promoters.

Choose a current newspaper article (no older than two years before the start of your course contract) that describes a genetic study.* The article cannot be from a medical/health type of information source (such as Science Daily), or from a scientific publication. Summarize the information presented in the article in paragraph form by addressing the points below. (If you cannot address all or nearly all of these points, choose another article.) Include any other information relevant to your studies in this course, as provided in the article.

â¢ describe the phenotype of the trait.

â¢ describe the genetic basis of the trait, identifying known genes, other genes involved, and any contributing environmental factors (or other information provided) that are relevant to expression of the trait.

â¢ name the mode of inheritance if it is given or if you can deduce it.

â¢ describe the particular type of mutation, as applicable.

â¢ describe the related protein and its normal and mutant effects.

â¢ identify any genetic technologies used in the study.

â¢ does the author make any errors in use of terminology?

Q6. Identify 2 scientific (genetic) reasons why scientists can justify working with model organisms when the ârealâ interest is in the genetics of other organisms.

7. The things that are True about animal breeding areâ¦(check all that are correct)

___a. animal breeders need to select the parents carefully

___b. breeding can only be done between 2 animals of the same species.

___c. animal breeders have a goal of improving a trait or traits in their breed or species of animal

___d. they all have the same traits they want to improve, no matter what the animal species or breed.

___e. animal breeders are only interested in traits for which selection is obvious and the genetic control or inheritance is easy to predict

___f. animal breeding is only done on domestic animals not wild animals

___g. animal breeding would be much easier if there was no variation within a species in the genes that control their traits.

___h. although slightly more difficult, breeding between 2 different species (ex. cat and dogs) can be done just as breeding within the same species.

Q8. Describe two differences and two similarities between plant breeding and animal breeding.
