NATS 1940 Study Guide - Final Guide: Mendelian Inheritance, Numeracy, Population Genetics
Document Summary
Biodiversity and conservation biology assignment #1. In this assignment, you will be doing two types of questions, most of which involve numbers. Many non- science students dislike math, and nats courses accordingly require little proficiency in math. One learning objective of nats courses is basic numeracy skills . There are two general sections in this assignment: mendelian genetics (little math) and population. Genetics (application of two formulae). In humans, albinism (lack of pigment in the skin, eyes and hair) is a recessive condition. Suppose that two normally pigmented parents have two children: an albino child and a child with normal skin pigmentation. The child has blood type a and the mother has blood type ab. Explain your answer, referring to the table below. (2 marks) In horses, the coat color black is dominant (b) over chestnut (b). The trotting gait is dominant (t) over the pacing gait (t). A particular male is a homozygous black pacer.
