If I were hired as a genetic counselor to advise a couple about the odds of the couple having a baby with a genetic disorder and I wanted to order lab tests to be done on the pregnant mother to determine if the baby has a genetic disorder (amniocentesis)-what kind of test would be done? How would the test determine if the baby has a genetic disorder or not? If it is determined that the couple's baby has a genetic disorder, then what advice should I provide to that couple? Why? What if the couple went against my advice? Whose advice (mine-the genetic counselor representing science or the couple representing society) should be considered?

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Population dynamics can be described as the size of a particular population and the environmental and biological factors which influence it.

For human populations, a population which is greater than the resources can be controlled by decreasing the number of births in that population. It can be controlled by people migrating from the place due to less resources available.

For animals, the population can be controlled by increasing the amount of predators for the particular population so that they decline in number. Or shifting of the organisms can be done to places where there are enough resources available.

) When predicting the phenotype of the offspring from a dihybrid cross, why is it so important that each gene is located in a di
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) The genes present on separate chromosomes exhibit indepedent assortment.

b) The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp

Explanation:

a) In a dihybrid cross, if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they will not exhibit independent assortment. The genes present on the same chromosome are called linked genes. Linked genes are inherited together. The absence of independent assortment of a linked gene gives more of parental types in F2 progeny. Therefore, if genes are not present on a separate chromosome, Mendel’s ratios deviate.

b) Alleles for tallness and purple flower are dominant. In the progeny, all the plants are tall. This means that the dominant tall plant is homozygous. With respect to flower color, the trait exhibits segregation of dominant and recessive alleles and both purple and white flower progeny are obtained. This makes both the plants heterozygous for the flower color gene.  

The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp
