Lab Exercise 6: Pedigree Tasting

Instructions: Using complete sentences, respond to the following questions from lab exercise 6. For more information about each question, see the lab manual.

1. Send in the three pedigree charts you have developed. On each chart, indicate the genotype of one taster and one nontaster. Be specific about whether the trait is dominant or recessive. Did you see any sex-linkage of these traits?

2. In your analysis of the three charts together, did you decide the genes were linked or unlinked? What observations support your decision?
