Week7+Three+questions

As we are reaching the end of our genetic unit, plus the end of our project, let's clarify a a few things: Please answer the following three questions:

1. a. When is a certain phenotype called a "disorder"? b. If we have two alleles for a certain gene, what determines which allele we call "mutant" and which "normal"? Hint: Tricky question.

2. From the test review guide, a. Question 21: If a trait ‘__skipped a generation’__ – is the trait carried by the recessive or dominant allele? Explain. b. Choose any other question in the test review that you would like me to explain. Remember - that there will be no review class, since we will use that time for presentations.

3. It looks like we will do the presentations without powerpoint, for lack of time.

How do you think the presentations should be done without powerpoint?
