Determine if the child is homozygous or heterozygous for this genotyped sequence at each SNP?  SNP 1 [genotype1] SNP 2 [genotype2] SNP 3 [genotype3]

A woman in her mid-30’s is hoping to get pregnant with her first child. Her father died of Huntington’s disease, which is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means you only need one mutant copy of the gene to get the disease. She was recently tested and also has the Huntington’s disease allele, which means she will eventually develop Huntington’s disease. Her and her partner want to ensure that their children do not get Huntington’s disease so are willing to undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and genetic testing of the resulting fertilized embryos to select for embryos that do not have the Huntington’s disease allele. What type of genetic testing is this?

The recent cloning of the rhesus monkey used a new technique called SCNT-TR (trophoblast replacement), which increased the success rate of cloning from less than 3% to over 50% success.

Identify each of the following as an example of a potential application of cloning or an example of a drawbacks or ethical concern of cloning animals? Cloning animals with desired traits such as high milk production [1] Dolly was the only one to be born alive out of 277 cloned embryos [2] Increased birth size, defects in vital organs and immune system problems [3] Destruction of human embryos in a test tube [4] Testing new drugs and treatments on a uniform genetic background [5] Genetically modifying sheep to produce milk that contains human blood clotting proteins [6] Build populations of endangered or extinct species [7] Infringement on individual freedoms by creating a human that is genetically identical to another [8]  

How did Fortinbra’s father die?

Somatic cells are the [1] cells, while gametes are the [2] cells . Somatic cells are produced by [3] and make genetically identical daughter cells, while gametes are produced by [4], resulting in genetically distinct daughter cells. Gametes are [5], while somatic cells are [6] . The fusion of gametes to initiate the development of a new individual organism occurs during the process of  [7] , and produce a [8] .

What are some of the considerations you would now take into account before getting direct-to-consumer genetic testing done? Provide two considerations. 1.   2.
