Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Cross a heterozygous female and a color-blind male. Would it be possible for these individuals to have a color-blind daughter? Justify your answer.  Show work on your scrap paper and submit it after the exam to the Dropbox. 

During the cell cycle there are 3 check points (G1, G2, and M). Briefly describe what the cell is checking for at these check points.   

An individual who is heterozygous for Type A blood and an individual who has Type O blood wants to know the likelihood that they will have an offspring with Type O blood. Provide the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring of these parents. Show work on your scrap paper and submit it after the exam to the Dropbox.
