    To write the genotypes, designate the dominant red allele as CRCR
    and the recessive white allele as CWCW.

    lead to a wide range of characteristics in humans.

    Analyze the role of each item in inheritance. Give an example of a


    trait governed by each process.

    Describe the use of twin studies in the study of genetics by


    completing the paragraph.
    Scientists use twin studies to determine whether influences on a trait
    are or . If a high percentage of

    strong chance that the trait is .

    1. Describe two patterns of complex inheritance and explain how they are different
    from Mendelian patterns.

    2. Explain How is epistasis different from dominance?

    3. Determine the genotypes of the parents if the father is blood type A, the mother is
    blood type B, the daughter is blood type O, one son is blood type AB, and the other
    son is blood type B.

    4. Analyze how twin studies help to differentiate the effects of genetic and
    environmental influences.

    5. Evaluate t he influence of environmental factors on why the trait for sickle-cell
    disease might be an advantage in central Africa.

    6. What is the chance of producing a son with normal vision if the father is color blind
    and the mother is homozygous normal? Explain.
