Assume that there is complete dominance and complete penetrance at each locus and that epistasis does not occur. (These are the same conditions we used in class). Write your answers in numeric form (not in words). Referring to the cross DdFfGgHhRrTT x DDffGgHhRRTt:

a. How many different gametes does the DdFfGgHhRrTT parent produce?
b. How many different genotypes are found among the progeny of thiscross?
c. How many different phenotypes are found among the progeny of thiscross?
d. What is the probability that the first offspring from this crosswill show the dominant phenotype for all loci?
e. What is the probability that the first offspring from this crosswill be heterozygous for all loci?
f. What is the probability that the first offspring from this crosswill be a son with genotype DDFfGghhRrTt?

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

idk why hjggjhjkhj

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
