3.4 2 What Is The Probability
Question: Sickle Cell Anemia
Answer: An inherited recessive disorder.
Question: Chromosome
Answer: Each parents has two copies so there is a 50% chance of their chromosome being passed to a child.
Question: Genetics
Answer: The science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms.
Question: Punnett
Answer: A simple graphical way of discovering all of the potential combinations of genotypes, given the genotypes of the parents.
Question: LAB Part 1: Predicted Results
Answer: We first set up a Punnett square and complete one. We then determine the phenotypes associated with each genotype. After, we determine the chance for a child to be born with sickle cell anemia based on the Punnet Square. We then determine the genotypes for the parents in Activity 3.3.1.
Question: Phenotypes and Genotypes
Answer: SS: Normal
Ss: Carrier
ss: Sickle Cell
Question: Calculation for Punnett Square
Answer: # of Boxes Containing the Phenotype you want divided by 4 and multiplied by 100.
Question: Genotypes for the Parents in 3.3.1
Answer: Father: Sickle Cell
Mother: Carrier
Question: LAB Part 2: Experimental Results
Answer: We then use the data table from 3.3.1 to determine the different percentages for the children that have diseases or are carriers.
Question: Percent of Children with Sickle Cell Anemia
Answer: 16%
