Part 1: Lab Photos
Students are required to include lab photos in the lab reports to verify the authenticity and
originality of the experiments.
The required photographs need to include a handwritten note on paper that contains your name, the course (BIOL 1011K) and your section number. Please insert the photos in the photo holders under each question. Make sure they are sized properly and all the necessary components can be seen clearly by the instructor for grading).
- Attach a photo of Table 1: Emoji Genetics.
- Attach the image of the emoji that you created in your graphics program.
- Attach a photo of Table 3 with your personal phenotype and possible genotypes filled in from the human characteristics lab activity.
The photos of your Punnett squares (photos 4-8) must include the parental and offspring information above and below the squares themselves as shown in the ‘lab activities’ file Punnett square pages. Just the square by itself is insufficient. So either photograph filled in pages provided in that file and be sure your image includes that additional information or write out your own squares with that additional information added exactly as diagrammed on the provided examples in the lab activities file.
- Attach a photo of a Punnett square you completed that was a homozygous recessive trait crossed with a homozygous dominant trait. (Put the number of this question on that page and include the photos in order.)
- Include a photo of a Punnett square you completed that was a homozygous recessive trait crossed with another homozygous recessive trait OR a homozygous dominant trait crossed with another homozygous dominant trait. (Put the number of this question on that page and include the photos in order.)
- Include a photo of a Punnett square you completed that was a heterozygous trait crossed with a homozygous recessive trait. (Put the number of this question on that page and include the photos in order.)
- Include a photo of a Punnett square you completed that was a heterozygous trait crossed with a homozygous dominant trait. (Put the number of this question on that page and include the photos in order.)
- Include a photo of a Punnett square you completed that was a heterozygous trait crossed with another heterozygous trait. (Put the number of this question on that page and include the photos in order.)
Part 2: Lab Questions
- In your own words, explain homozygous recessive trait and homozygous dominant.
- In your own words, explain heterozygous trait.
- What action allowed you to determine the genotypes of your emoji?
- What characteristic of chromosome assortment during meiosis did this process emulate?
- The green colored emoji is an example of what condition and why was green chosen to represent this condition?
- Give one example of a genotype and its corresponding phenotype from the emoji lab.
- Why is inheritance of eye color more complex than just having either blue or brown eyes? (Hint: You will need to refer to your textbook to answer this question.)
- Give one example of a genotype and its corresponding phenotype from the human characteristics lab.
