What are our motives in Genetic Engineering? (Humanitarian,
improve mankind or national interests)
Answer / ekwemuka michael
hink the motive behind genetic engineering is to improve
breeding of animalkinds in different forms like; heredity
mechanism, gene reshuffling
e.tc.
In hereditery mechanism, it brings about variation
in the population, thereby ensuring the masked differences
in individual species. This then leads to having breeds
that are susceptible or resistance to diverse attacks; thus
ensuring the survival of the fittest.

Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the phenotype associated with a particular allele?
In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?
