Part A

Hollywood is a buzz with news about Hollywood's hottest couple, Angelina and Brad! Rumours of Angelina being pregnant has resulted in a modelling agency offering the couple a contract for the child as long as it doesn’t have a widow’s peak.Use punnet square (s) to determine the odds of the child getting the modelling contract.

How can I have a widow’s peak I have no hair!

Widow’s Peak No Widow’s Peak

Punnet Square (s)

The child has a _____ % chance of getting a modelling contract 6 Marks (US)

Part C

From photo of your face, label your traits and determine your phenotype and genotype using the booklet to assist you.

(If you can’t tell if you are homozygous dominant or heterozygous then flip two coins. Heads = dominant allele talis = recessive allele…so two heads gives homozygous dominant, head and tail gives heterozygous.)

Fill in the alleles for the appropriate genes on your chromosome sheet.

Choose a celebrity of the opposite sex and repeat the process to fill out their chromosome sheet.

Present results of Part C as a poster that should include:

-A photo of yourself with traits labelled.

-A photo of your celebrity with traits labelled.

-Display the chromosomes of the baby.

-Draw the face of the baby when its an adolescent and label all the traits.

If you have an X and Y chromosome, then the baby is a

boy!

If you have two X chromosomes, then the baby is a

girl!

Face Shape

Chromosome #1 contains the genetic information in a gene we will call “R”. This information determines the general shape of the face.

Chin Prominence

Chromosome #2 contains the chin prominence gin, “L”. The genotype “ll” prevents the expression of the next two pairs of genes. This control of another gene’s expression is called epistasis. If you have the genotype “ll” skip the next two and start at skin colour.

Very prominent (LL, Ll) Less prominent (ll)

Chin Shape

Chromosome #3 contains the “S” gene. This controls the shape of the chin, round or square.

Chin Cleft

Chromosome #5 carries the “C” gene responsible for the development of a chin cleft.

Round (SS, Ss) Square (ss)

Absent (CC, Cc) Present (cc)

Skin ColourSkin colour is determined by three sets of genes on chromosomes # 1, 2 and 4. The dominant genetic code, gene A makes a protein called melanin ( a dark pigment that assists in blocking UV light).

The greater number of dominant alleles “A” the darker the skin. Count the number of dominant alleles “A” and use the table below to determine the skin colour.

6 Dominant alleles (“A”) Very dark brown, nearly black skin

5 Dominant alleles (“A”) Dark brown skin

4 Dominant alleles (“A”) Brown skin

3 Dominant alleles (“A”) Light brown skin

2 Dominant alleles (“A”) Tan skin

1 Dominant alleles (“A”) Light tan / pink skin

0 Dominant alleles (“A”) Cream, nearly white skin

Hair colour like skin colour is polygenic, with the same gene found on more than one chromosome (3, 6 and 10). The dominant allele encodes for a dark pigment, the greater number of dominant alleles the darker the hair.

Red Hair Colour

Red hair is encoded by another gene on a different chromosome (4). It blends with other hair colours. The darker hair colours mask the red pigment.

GG = Heavy red pigment

Gg = Medium red pigment

gg = No red pigment

If you have blonde or white hair and have GG you will have flaming red hair!

Types of hair

Chromosome #7 contains the gene for hair type. The dominant allele encodes for amino acids containing a sulphur atom which causes cross linking between the amino acids in the hair….giving you curls. Straight hair lacks these cross links.

Curly (WW) Wavy (Ww) Straight (ww)

Eye Size

Chromosome #12 besides carrying the gene for eye colour it also carries the gene for eye size. % indicates a recessive allele while % indicates a dominant allele.

Eye Shape

Chromosome #13 has the gene for eye shape.

Eyelashes

Movie star eyelashes are found on chromosome #15. The dominant allele gives you long eyelashes.

Eye ColourChromosomes #11 and 12 contain the eye colour genes. Dark eyes are produced in the presence of more active alleles. In this case dominant alleles F and B are active in depositing dark pigments. Alleles f and b deposit little pigment.

Two pairs of genes are involved, one for pigment deposit at the front of the iris, the other at the back.
