Why might it be difficult to perform genetic analysis in humans?
It takes many generations for humans to mature, grow, and die making them not the ideal subject for genetic analysis because there lifetimes are so long.
What would be would be the least satisfactory organism for genetic research?
humans
Which statement concerning the concept of sex linkage in humans is correct?
Hemophilia and color blindness are examples of recessive sex-linked traits
What are the arguments for genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering can cause side affects unknown to humans. And it is messing with nature and the way of human life
In humans the risk of passing on a genetic disorder to offspring can be assessed by?
You could make a pedigree which could identify carriers of a genetic disorder and individuals with the disorder. You could do blood tests to determine whether a person carries a gene for a particular genetic disorder. You could make a karyotype to determine whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.
2 How many linkage groups are there in humans?
A LINKAGE GROUP IS FORMED OF ALL THE GENES ON ONE CHROMOSOME. THERE ARE 23 PAIRS OF CHROMOSOMES IN HUMANS. HENCE 23 LINKAGE GROUPS.
Why do humans not have the same genetic information as someone else?
the genetic coding of humans is different. thats why chimpanzee is different from humans. as simple as that.
What is the new technology that humans use to alter the genetic instructions in organisms?
genetic engineering
What sugars can't be digested by humans?
Lactose- we can not digest the B(1-4) linkage
What is an Orangutans organism?
Same as humans. Orangutans share about 97% of their genetic information with humans.
Describe how the chemical composition and the genetic information of humans resembles the chemical and genetic information of other organisms?
Humans share about 95% genetic similarity with mice. http://www.bookrags.com/research/model-organisms-gen-03/

What factor is as important as population in determining the environmental impact of humans?
comsuption
Why is human Y chromosome a marker for only the paternal and not the maternal human genetic lineage?
Because XY denotes male. The SRY region is on the Y chromosome. This is the sex determining region, males are made and females are the default condition in humans.
What would occur if humans reproduced by parthenogenesis?
Humans are produced via sexual reproduction. That gives genetic diversity. You do not get such genetic diversity in case of the parthenogenesis. It is poor mode of reproduction.
To what degree are all humans identical at the genetic level?
97%
It is believed that genetic drift was a factor in the diversity of humans?
true
