The Case for Analysis
Human being as a biological system is programmed based on the principles of genetics. Characteristics traits are inherited from the ancestor, three-quarter of the traits, and from parents comprised about a quarter of the traits both pleasant and unpleasant traits. Children as progenies are not the exact copies of their parents instead mirror image of their parents. There are similarities and differences called variation. The environment plays vital role in the behavioral attributes of an individual in addition to past experiences. The interplay of genes (structures and expression), environment (diversity, cellular reproduction and ecology) tends to influence the biological program which constitute YOU.
Based on your understanding of this case, the new and derived knowledge on the learned concepts and principles, answer the following WITHOUT USING ANY REFERENCE.
(1) Construct a phylogenetic tree showing your lines of descent. Explain every details
(2) Use a method to show and express the inheritance of at least five dominant and five recessive traits. Discuss each in details.
(3) Are there genetically inherited disorders in your family? If YES, give specific examples. If NO, cite specific examples.
3.1. In which chromosomes number the genetic disorder(s) is/are located? Characterize the chromosome.
3.2. What are the possible factors which contribute to the identified genetic disorders? Show the influence(s) of the identified factors.
3.3. Show the DNA sequences relating to the identified genetic disorders.
3.4. Trace the generation-to-generation inheritance of the diseased alleles. Explain in details.
(4) With all of these, construct your family tree.
