Genetics Part 3

Students were given various animal pictures to observe the animal pictures, and list some characteristics they could use to classify the animals into groups such as vertebrates and invertebrates. What characteristics do all animals have in common?

The Animal Functional Genomics Laboratory conducts genetic research involving farm animals. The results can be used to genetically modify cattle. Considering the pros and cons of such a research program, those arguing against have concerns about

Where are chromosomes found in an animal cell?

Like animals, plants inherit ways of responding to their surroundings. Roots grow down toward water. Stems grow up toward the sun. Leaves grow toward light, and vines may climb up a tree trunk. These traits are passed from parents to offspring by

When gametes combine to form a zygote, the chromosomes number of the zygote is now referred to as

Farmers have been planting genetically modified crops. For example, corn that is resistant to weed-killer. This makes it so that no corn is lost due to contact with herbicide meant to kill weeds. What is a concern with this?

Scientists have been genetically modifying food crops since the mid 1990's. As a result, scientists have been able to produce crops that are more disease resistant. What could be seen as a risk associated with using genetically modified crops?

The inheritance of genetic traits from parents to children follows predictable rules. Knowing that each parent contributes genes equally to each child, what determines an inherited trait such as eye color?
