We were recently given the challenging task of figuring out who the parents of Morgan Koops are. Mrs. Koops was adopted at a young age, and her birth parents were never known by herself. Recently, the U.S. Adoption Agency contacted us to find out who the birth parents are. The parents of Mrs. Koops were narrowed down to five couples to start. All five of these couples are Russian. These couples included Nickoli and Svetlana, Igor and Yana, Vlad and Anna, Dimitry and Olga, and Boris and Natasha. We were given the various phenotypes for the couples in blood type, color blindness, eye color, hair color, hair line, chin shape, dimples, and earlobes. We were also given the family history on all of these various human characteristics. Then, …show more content…
We did this by using punnett squares and pedigrees. We would use the pedigrees because they were very similar to a family tree, but they would display who carried the dominant trait and who carried the recessive trait. We could also reveal whether the trait was heterozygous dominant or homozygous dominant. This would be decided by the parents of this individual. If one parent of the individual held the recessive form of the characteristic and the other parent held the dominant form, the individual would be heterozygous dominant. This could also be known as a hybrid form with their allele. If there was an instance where the majority if not all had the dominant trait in the pedigree, then it was a simple answer. If you had two parents that held the dominant trait and their parents held the dominant trait. Then, when deciding if the offspring of the first two parents would be homozygous or heterozygous, it would be homozygous. This would be because of the heredity unlikeliness of the possible heterozygous in these alleles of the relatives coming all the way down through the generations. You would then imply that this offspring would be a homozygous purebred. After finding the genotypes of the two individuals you want to have
Genetic Family History Assessment All nurses, no matter where they practice, need to have proper training in genomics and genetics to provide the best information to clients regarding recognition, prevention, and/or treatment of diseases (Thompson & Brooks, 2011). Genetic family history can help clients discover the unique patterns of health and illness within their family. In this paper, I will complete a Genetic/Genomic Nursing Assessment using the information found in Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson’s text (2015) in Box 7-7 (p. 198). I will identify three generations of a family, analyze the genetic health risks, and consider nursing strategies for this family. The woman featured in my genetic assessment will be referred to as LG.

The case study on Kevin Miller is very challenging. Kevin Miller is White 5th grade student, and his parent are very supportive. Kevin has a problem with attention span; consequently, he I has been identified as a candidate for Greentree Elementary School Gifted and Talented Program. I will attempt to describe the issues related to Kevin’s moral judgement and self-concept; furthermore, I will make recommendations on his part.
A genetic family history assessment contains information about family structure and relationships. A typical nurse will use a three-generation family pedigree to gather the information. By doing so, nurses can be aware of which family members are at risk for disorders from a genetic component. Therefore, they can be provided with lifestyle advice, recommendations, and referrals to appropriate specialists (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco & Hanson, 2015). A genetic family history assessment will be provided about my family.

We have known for centuries that traits are passed from parents to offspring. What has not always been understood is how traits are determined. One explanation that appealed to scientist for many centuries was that traits of parents were blended, or mixed in offspring. The blending hypothesis accounted for many observable traits and was widely accepted for many years. However, the idea of blending could not account for the appearance of unexpected traits in some offspring. It was not until scientist discovered the cellular basis of life that the inheritance of traits was better understood.
Anthocyanin is a purple colored pigment in plants that protect tissue from stressful light conditions (Glover and Martin 2012). This experiment utilized monohybrid crosses of the Wisconsin Fast Plant variety of B. rapa with the F_1 generation having one dominant allele for anthocyanin (ANL) and one recessive allele (anl) (Kinds Plants 2014), to complete their life cycle and produce offspring that were observed for their phenotype. By utilizing the genotype of each parent a prediction for the outcome of these genetic crosses was formulated with a Punnett square (Brooker et al. 2014). Since two alleles need to be existent for a recessive trait to be conveyed, and only one allele for a dominant trait (Morgan and Carter 2008), the offspri...
middle of paper ... ... avour of "purity of the race" idea, but they understand how it worked. Blond hair and blue eyes are recessive genes. Two brown-eyed people can give birth to a blue-eyed child, but two blue-eyed people cannot give birth to a brown-eyed child. Dark skin and dark hair are also dominant genes, so because of evolution, it must mean that the ancestors of humanity had dominant genes.
The desire to have a "normal" child is held by every parent and only now are we beginning to have the ability to select for that child. In preparation to receiving genetic testing, the parents are required to meet with a genetic counselor. A detailed description of the testing methods are reviewed with the couple as well as the risks which are involved with each. Upon an understanding of the procedures, the counselor discusses the many possible outcomes which could be the result of the diagnosis. Finally, before any tests are performed, anxieties from either of the parents are addressed as well as the psychological well-being of the parents.
Genes are expected to give offspring hereditary similarities to the parent. However, this was not known and Gregory Mendel asked himself what was passed on by parents to their offspring that is the basis for similarity. Mendel would go on through experiments with pea plants to answer short questions. The answers were short as well as to say that the passing of characteristics from parents to the offspring is throug...
German construction industry had an extremely succesful period form 1988-1995 increasing elevator sales from 8000 units per year to 15500 units. This growth has to come to stagnancy and even decline as the elevator market is projected to contract by about 15% in 2000. The market can be broadly divided into 2 segments: new equipment and service with new equipment provider garnering upto 80% of the service contracts. Competion was intense in new equipment with intense price wars leading to negative margins. Profitability came from the servicing business. Servicing also saw steady demand.
AJ Hackett has an induction process for their business, their induction starts before their new employees have started at AJ Hackett. AJ Hackett will send out the paperwork such as the job description and the crew hand book, this handbook is updated every year. In the first few weeks the new employee will sign up and get their uniform, and then they will have the chance to go on a variety of site visits to be the customer and experience what is like to be a customer on the AJ Hackett sites. They will then be introduced into their department and have an induction day and training. Every 30 days the new employee will have another induction to make sure they know all the procedures and policies and health and safety
The word “family” is often used in connection with a person’s ancestry. Most families are based on kinship. Members belong to the family through birth, marriage, or adoption. Family plays the most vital role in our daily life and family is the finest thing that you can ever desire for. It’s the family who assists their child in hardships of life and give affection no matter what happens. Human personality reflects on what his /her family status is and what their families have taught them.
