Questions & Discussion
Use your experience from the project and the previous data
tables to answer and discuss the questions listed on the next
several slides.
Law of Probability
Probabilityis a statistical
measure used to express
the chances and risks in
real life happenings.
Something that
demonstrated probability
in the pet projects was the
amount of certain traits,
such as eye color or nose
shape.
Pet Karyotyping
formation of random
combinations of
chromosomes in meiosis
and of genes on different
pairs of homologous
chromosomes
Independent assortment
was shown in the project
when the pet was created
and its traits were found This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
Refer to Tables 1 & 2 for the following
information.
Males: .48
Females: .54
Find out how many generations following the first appearance of a dark-
colored mutation it would take for 95% of the mice to express the
dominant dark-colored phenotype, given a 1% advantage (s = 0.01).
Rock pocket mice have approximately one litter of pups a year, so the
number of generations will be equal to the number of years. You will not
be able to use the graph on the Main Page tab since it only goes up to
100 generations. So, you will need to look at column D of the worksheet
called Main Worksheet. Scroll down until the value is greater than 0.95.
It would take about __936__ generations.
What would the selection coefficient need to be for 95% of the mice to
have the dominant phenotype in just 50 years? Record your answer
below.
The coefficient would need to be about ______________22%_______________________.
Genetics Research

following genetic disorders)
Chromosome/genetics
Loci

When the egg or sperm
cell is forming. It may
cause it to have an extra
chromosome #18 or #13
inside. If this egg or sperm
cell contributes the extra
chromosome 18, then
trisomy 18 will happen.
Edwards Syndrome
