Pink-eye and albino are two recessive traits found in the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus. In pink-eyed mice, the eye is devoid of color and appears pink because of the blood vessels within it. Albino mice are completely lacking color, both in their fur and in their eyes. F. H. Clark crossed pink-eyed mice with albino mice; the resulting F1 had normal coloration in their fur and eyes. He then crossed these F1 mice with mice that were pink eyed and albino and obtained the following progeny. It is hard to distinguish between mice that are albino and mice that are both pink eyed and albino, so he combined these two phenotypes. Match the expected numbers of progeny with each phenotype if the genes for pink-eye and albinism assort independently. Phenotype Observed Expected
wild type, wild type 12 38
wild type, pink eyes 62 38
albino, wild type or pink eyes 78 76
Total 152 152

Required:
Use a chi-square test to determine if the observed numbers of progeny fit the number expected with independent assortment.

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.
