Genetics Test on Monday, March 5th!

This is what will be on the Genetics Test.  Make sure that you study these concepts and come in for help during FLEX this week if you need it.

• Part I:  20 or so multiple choice questions on all kinds of topics.  We will play some Kahoot to help identify the types of questions
• Part II:  a) Chi-Squared Problem.  You will be given the equation and critical value chart, but you will need to know how to calculate expected values, do the math for the equation, and interpret the results.  
• b)  Dihybrid cross that will involve identifying the gametes, filling in the Punnett Grid, and listing the ratios of the results 
•  c)  Describe the genetic cause, symptoms, treatment, and interesting facts for a genetic disorder.  Out of hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington's.  We will draw 3 of these from a "hat" and you will write about one.  The University of Utah site (Learn Genetics) linked on my website has good info on all of them except hemophilia, and hemophilia is written up in the book (pp 180-181). 
• d)  A short question on a pedigree problem
