Chapter 9: Patterns of Inheritance What pattern will inheritance follow? Why is it important? Always follow patterns? Rule of Probability In tossing a coin the odds of either a head or tail is always 50%. The outcome is unaffected by the previous attempt. If 2 coins are tossed‚ each will be dependent of the other HH‚ HT‚ TH‚ TT (Probability is 25% or ¼) The rules also hold true for genetics due to the law of independent assortment. Each alternative type of outcome in a gene acts independently

Mendel on Patterns of Inheritance Mendel was the first to see that traits in each person were passed down‚ not just from the parents‚ but also from grandparents‚ great-grandparents‚ great-great-grandparents‚ etc. He also figured out that not every person is the same as his or her own parents. Some of these traits can come from other family members that are no longer living. Mendel is the first to also describe these traits as passages through the generations. There are at least three reasons

It is always funny when you hear someone say your child looks more like you than your spouse or vice versa. While they always are saying things like that‚ it is interesting to see if they are really thinking about why they are saying that. What traits have been carried onto a child to make them resemble one parent more than the other or maybe a grandfather or grandmother? What controls the traits that a person exhibits and the traits that are hidden deep down‚ sometimes for generations at a time

There are four subsistence strategies foraging‚ pastoralism‚ horticulture‚ and agriculture. Subsistence patterns are methods of obtaining food using available land‚ resources‚ labor and energy‚ and technology. Foraging are people whose subsistence pattern is hunting and gathering. Food foraging societies are people who are primarily nomadic and spend most of their time gathering plants and hunting animals for subsistence. One example of such of a society would be the Ju/’hoansi people. The roles

Mendel’s approach to answering scientific questions was highly focused. He chose just a handful of traits to study‚ seven to be exact‚ and by doing so was able to more easily keep an accurate mathematical record of each of the traits and how they carried to subsequent generations. The approach that he took‚ looking at a lesser quantity of traits‚ gave him an advantage because he was able to realize a higher quality of information from his research. The simplicity of it gave him more control over

Mr. John was a 70 year old male‚ 170 lbs‚ 5’4" with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He had a smoking history. He was transferred from the hospital to the Nursing home before six months. He had a history of congestive heart disease and osteoarthritis. When I assessed him‚ he had a weak but persistent cough‚ and midsternal chest pain from coughing. He had an elevated temperature and Oxygen saturation was 89%. Other vital signs were stable. He had a dry skin‚ redness‚ and irritation of

This article is about the pattern of knowing and understanding of knowing in nursing. The knowledge is can be arbitrary and artificial‚ therefore‚ the critical thinking and understanding about the knowledge is necessary. The four patterns of knowledge are distinguished. The first is empirics of the science of nursing. The knowledge of nursing science has to be systematically organized in order to apply general law and theories. Thus‚ it can be described and explained. The systematically organized

After taking the type A behavior pattern test I scored a total of 57 points. Since this is a score that exceeds 53 points it means I have a type A personality and can be considered more susceptible to stress and its effects. I honestly agree with my score because I’m very susceptible to the effects of stress. When I’m confronted with serious changes to my regular schedule‚ I tend to become anxious and irritable. I find myself out of my element and start to doubt whether or not I can overcome the
