Question

Please Help! I can't figure out the following things for this lab project.
Objective(s): What was the main purpose of the lab or what question(s) are you trying to answer?

Introduction: What background information is necessary to know before completing this lab? What scientific concepts are being examined? Include any preliminary observations about the subject.

Hypothesis: Write a possible solution for the question or problem being investigated. The hypothesis statement should be testable and is often in an if-then-because format to illustrate the manipulated variable, the expected re

Answer 1

It would be helpful if you gave some indication of what sort of lab you're talking about...

Answer 2

I am having trouble figuring out those things about both parts of this lab

Answer 3

This is quite a funky lab. Depending on how smart it wants you to be, there might not be any tidy answer to it ~ it starts with the assumption that there are no complicated relationships between the alleles. Like incomplete dominance, for example. So for background info, I would start by stating that you need to be told that F is strictly dominant to f...

Answer 4

Are you already thinking about the Castle Hardy Weinburg equation to solve this...?

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

I am just having trouble figuring out things like the objectives

Answer 7

The objectives are by no means clear.

For concepts to access the problem, I would discuss the basic ideas of Mendelian genetics, as in dominance-recessive relationships between the alleles. You'd need to understand about the difference between phenotype and genotype to understand that the Ff members are going to show a dominant phenotype. The scientific concepts being examined are allele frequency and allele frequency changes, so I'd also discuss the assumptions underlying the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium, which you need before you can use the HW equation...
