Q1. A fruitfly with red eyes and leg bristles (genotype RrBb) was mated with a white-eyed fly lacking bristles (rrbb). Five hundred offspring were counted, with the follow results- 58 Rrbb offspring; 62 rrBb offspring; 200 RrBb offspring; 180 rrbb offspring. Based on these results, how much distance is between […]

Mendel is known as the father of modern genetics, however there are some genetic characteristics which cannot be described by simple Mendelian genetics. Such is the case with human blood types where there are 3 alleles for same gene, A B, and o. A parent can pass allele A, B, […]

Assinment 1.. A certain large population is found to exhibit a frequency of 3% for an autosomal recessive trait, i.e. 3 people out of 100, on average, have the trait (assume 100% penetrance). Assuming the alleles are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the expected carrier frequency. When actually tested, it was […]

Question: Discuss genetic factors and genes are involved in making a human embryonic stem cell differentiate into a cardiomyocyte. Also what miRNA are involved in the regulation of this process of the proteins that do so. So basically I want to know what exactly happens from start to finish in the […]
