With the help of DNA fingerprinting which can be used to determine paternity. There are three babies (Baby A, Baby B and Baby C) in a maternity ward, and three sets of confused and worried parents. (Father and Mother #1 are a couple, as are Father and Mother #2, and Father and Mother #3.) 
You do each PCR reaction on chromosome 15 and load each one into a separate well of an agarose gel, and then run the gel.

 
 
Why is it that some people only have one band?

#Unit 14. Methods in Biology
  1. They are homozygotes for the allele that can be cut.
  2. They are homozygotes for the allele that cannot be cut.
  3. They are heterozygotes, and possess one allele that can be cut and one allele that cannot be cut.
  4. The more repeats you have, the longer your DNA fragment.

In a maternity ward, four babies become accidentally mixed up. The ABO types of the three babies are known to be A, B, and AB. The ABO types of the four sets of parents that are clamed are determined.

(A) AB X O  (B) A X O, (C) A X AB, (D) B  X O.

Following some statement is given

A. A blood group baby must be child of Parent B

B. B blood group baby must be child of Parent A

C. AB blood group baby must be child of Parent A

D. AB blood group baby must be child of Parent C

In the pearl millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and Rp3 (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 >Rp2 >Rp3). Which of the following parental cross would produce ½ had red, ¼ purple, ¼ green?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?
