Acurious polymorphism in human populations has to do with the ability to curl up the sides of the tongue to make a trough ("tongue rolling"). some people can do this trick, and others simply cannot. hence it is an example of a dimorphism. its significance is a complete mystery. in one family, a boy was unable to roll his tongue, but, to his great chagrin, his sister could. furthermore, both his parents were rollers, and so were both grandfathers, one paternal uncle, and one paternal aunt. one paternal aunt, one paternal uncle, and one maternal uncle could not. a.draw the pedigree for this family, defining your symbols clearly, and deduce the genotypes of as many individual members as possible. b.the pedigree that you drew is typical of the inheritance of tongue rolling and led geneticists to come up with the inheritance mechanism that no doubt you came up with. however, in a study of 33 pairs of identical twins, both members of 18 pairs could roll, neither member of 8 pairs could roll, and one of the twins in 7 pairs could roll but the other could not. because identical twins are derived from the splitting of one fertilized egg into two embryos, the members of a pair must be genetically identical. how can the existence of the seven discordant pairs be reconciled with your genetic explanation of the pedigree?

Zoe decided to measure the hand length of each of her classmates. first she marked a line across each student's wrist and lined up a ruler from this mark to the top of the middle finger to measure the length. then she recorded the measurements in the table below. marla did this the same way for each classmate, and then zoe used this ruler to measure each straight line and record the data below. this data is invalid. what is the most likely reason why it is invalid? the ruler is marked in centimeters, but zoe recorded data in inches. the range of lengths is too wide, so zoe must have misread the ruler. marla’s complicated measuring procedure was overly confusing. marla could have been inconsistent while drawing outlines of fingers.
