1. How does polygenic inheritance differ from Mendelian inheritance?
2. The gene for color blindness in humans is found on the X chromosome. A boy has a color blind father. Will the boy be color blind? Explain.
3. Discuss how fingerprinting DNA works in crime analysis.
Use the passage below to solve the following problem.
Some biology students wanted to determine whether a pair of brown mice purchased at a pet store was homozygous dominant or heterozygous for fur color. They let the mice mate and examines the offspring. Six mice were born. All six had brown fur.
Some of the students felt that this evidence was enough to prove that the mice were homozygous for brown fur color. Other students did not, so another experiment was planned.
4. Describe the next experiment the students could conduct to determine whether the parent mice are homozygous brown or heterozygous. Explain your answer.
I'm horrible in biology but getting better, I've searched through my book, past tests and everything and still can't find a good answer for any of these questions.
I would really appreciate any help at all. And I've already tried googling it, and didn't find anything that really helped.
