Genetics Review

 

This assignment will make up for the two genetic labs that we would of done if we were meeting face to face. I will have you do various things to help you grasp the material. We would of done A LOT of Punnett squares in lab. If you are having trouble please contact me.

 

1. Match the correct definition to the term in the table below. Type the letter in the table.

 

A. Alternative form of a gene, located at a specific point on chromosome. (DNA coding that will determine distinct traits)

B. Having two identical alleles for a given gene

C. A unit of hereditary information with a specific sequence in DNA.

D. Having two different alleles for a given gene.

E. Breeding an organism of an unknown genotype with an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype. The offspring phenotype will determine the unknown genotype.

F. The genetic makeup or set of alleles of an organism

G. Allele’s phenotypic effect is not observed in a heterozygote

H. Allele’s phenotypic effect is fully expressed in a heterozygote

I. A cross done to determine if a gene is located on an autosome or sex-chromosome.

J. The physical traits of an organism determined by genetic makeup.

Star Wars Genetics – Monohybrid Crosses

 

Watch the following video to review on Monohybrid crosses.

Geneticists at Endor have been investigating the genetic makeup of the organisms in this community. You will work through a few problems to help them out.

 

2. Brown body color (B) is dominant to red (b). Chewbacca recently met Susiebacca at a dance. They don’t have to worry about social distancing there right now. Chewbacca is heterozygous for his brown hair, but Susiebacca has red hair. Fill in the Punnett square below to see the possibilities if the night went well and they were to have children.

 

On the table below type in your answers. The black square will be left open. The parental gametes will be in the gray squares. There should only be one letter in each of these squares. The white squares are the possible kids. There will be two letters in those squares. Use this info for each time you see this type of table. Be sure to answer all of the questions. Some have two parts.

 

     
     
     

 

 

a. What are the possible genotypes for their children? What is the ratio?

 

b. What are the possible phenotypes for their children? What is the ratio?

 

 

3. Everyone in Anakin Skywalker’s family has “The Force” (A) which is determined by the amount of metacholorian in the body. Having “The Force” is a dominant trait. His family brags that they are a “purebred” line. He recently married a nice girl, Amidala, who does not possess “The Force” (a). Create a punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Anakin and his new bride had children.

 

     
     
     

 

 

a. What are the chances of a child with “The Force”?

 

b. What are the chances of a child without “The Force”?

 

c. Would Anakin’s children still be considered purebreds? Explain.

 

 

4. Wicket W. Warrick, general of the Ewoks and his wife recently had a Lil’ Ewok. However… this has not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs. Warrick has been upset since she first saw her new baby who has stripes. She claims the hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby. Mr. Warrick is homozygous for his solid-colored fur, while his wife is heterozygous for her solid-colored fur. Solid (A) is dominant to stripes (a) in fur. Do the Punnett square to see if the hospital messed up.

 

     
     
     

 

 

a. List the possible genotypes of their kids. What is the ratio?

 

b. List the possible phenotypes of their kids. What is the ratio?

 

c. Did the hospital mess this one up or is it possible that it is their kid? Explain.

 

 

Dihybrid Problem (only one I promise)

 

Watch this video to remind yourself about dihybrid crosses.

5. In horses, the coat color black is dominant (B) over chestnut (b). The trotting gait is dominant (A) over the pacing gait (a). If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut, heterozygous trotter.

 

In this table you will not have anything in the black square. The parental genotypes will be in the gray squares. You will have two letters in each gray square. The potential babies are going to be in the white squares. There will be four letters in those squares.

 

         
         
         
         
         

 

 

 

a. What are the parental genotypes?

a.

b.

 

b. What are the gamete combinations you got from the FOIL method for both parents?

a.

b.

 

c. What are the genotypes of the offspring and the ratio?

 

d. What are the phenotypes of the offspring and the ratio?

 

 

Sex-Linked Problems

 

Watch the following video to review yourself on sex-linked traits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2xufrHWG3E

 

Be careful when answering these questions. They will be asking things specific to gender. Remember that Sex-linked problems tell us both the gender and the genotype/phenotype.

 

6. In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait on the X chromosome. If a female who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a male with normal blood clotting, answer the following questions.

 

     
     
     

 

 

a. What fraction of the female children will have hemophilia?

 

b. What fraction of the female children will be carriers?

 

c. What fraction of the male children will have normal blood clotting?

 

d. What fraction of the male children will have hemophilia?

 

 

7. Color-blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait on the X chromosome. Two normal vision parents have a color-blind son.

 

     
     
     

 

 

a. What are the genotypes of the parents?

 

b. What fraction of the male children will be color-blind?

 

c. What fraction of the female children be carriers?

 

d. What fraction of the female children will be color-blind?

 

 

Blood Typing Problems

 

Watch the video to review yourself on blood typing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O5JQqlngFY

 

8. Suppose a father and mother claim they have been given the wrong baby at the hospital. They must have been at the same hospital the Ewoks were at. Both parents are blood type A. The baby they have been given is blood type O.

 

     
     
     

 

 

Is it possible it is their kid? Work out the Punnett square and explain your reasoning.

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

/in /by

1

 

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

Write a brief introduction (2 to 3 sentences) to your proposal that outlines the issue you are attempting to solve, the part of the organization in which the plan would be carried out, and the desired outcome. This will set the stage for the sections below.

Objective

Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or patient outcomes. For example:

Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project managers with the goal of reducing the number of new products that fail to launch. This objective is aligned to the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient taking products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste.

Questions and Predictions

For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Make a prediction for each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.

For example:

1. How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s workload?

a. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that percentage will decrease.

Change Theories and Leadership Strategies

For this section, you may wish to draw upon the research you did regarding change theories and leadership for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. The focus of this section is how those best practices will create buy-in for the project from an interdisciplinary team, improve their collaboration, and/or foster the team’s ability to implement the plan. Be sure that you are including at least one change theory and at least one leadership strategy in your explanation. Always remember to cite your sources; direct quotes require quotation marks and a page or paragraph number to be included in the citation.

Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:

· What is the theory or strategy?

· How will it likely help an interdisciplinary team to collaborate, implement, and/or buy in to the project plan?

· Make sure to frame this explanation within the organizational context of the proposed plan, that is, your interviewee’s organization.

Team Collaboration Strategy

In this section, begin by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy to defining this is to take a “who, what, where, and when” approach for each team member.

For example:

· Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for a single quarter.

· Project Manager B will apply the double-loop feedback model on all new product projects for a quarter.

Vice President A will review the workloads of project managers using the double-loop feedback model every Thursday for one quarter.

After you have roughly outlined the roles and responsibilities of team members, you will explain one or more collaborative approaches that will enable the team to work efficiently to achieve the plan’s objective. As with the change theories and leadership strategies, you may draw on the research you conducted for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. However, you are being asked to give a more in-depth explanation of the collaboration approaches and look at how they will help the theoretical interdisciplinary team in your plan proposal.

Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:

· What is the collaboration approach?

· What types of collaboration and teamwork will best help the interdisciplinary team be successful?

· How is the collaboration approach relevant to the team’s needs and will it help drive success?

· Make sure to frame this explanation in terms of the subject of the plan proposal; that is, your interviewee’s organization.

Required Organizational Resources

For this section, you will be making rough estimates of the resources needed for your plan proposal to be successful. This section does not have to be exact but the estimates should be realistic for the chosen organization.

Items you should include or address in this section:

· What are the staffing needs for your plan proposal?

· What equipment or supplies are needed for your plan proposal?

· Does the organization already have these?

· If so, what is the cost associated with using these resources?

· If not, what is the cost of acquiring these resources?

· What access (to patients, departments, and so forth) is needed?

· Are there any costs associated with these?

· What is the overall financial budget request for the plan proposal?

· Staff time, resource use, resource acquisition, and access charged?

· Remember to include a specific dollar amount in your request.

After you have detailed your budget, make sure that you explain any impacts on organizational resources that could happen if your plan is not undertaken and successful. In other words, if the issue you are try to solve through your plan proposal persists or gets worse, what will be the potential costs to the organization?
