I already know how to search the internet; I just need to know if my answers are correct.

For question 10, the correct answer is a. solitary alleles.

For question 11, the correct answer is d. none of the above.

For question 12, the correct answer is c. It uses family pedigree to track family issues.

So the correct answers are:
10. a
11. d
12. c

10. To answer this question, we need to understand the different patterns of heredity and identify the one that is not included. The patterns of heredity mentioned are solitary alleles, incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic inheritance.

To find the answer, we can first eliminate options that are included in the list. Solitary alleles, incomplete dominance, and codominance are all examples of complex patterns of heredity. This leaves us with option d, polygenic inheritance, which is not mentioned in the list. Therefore, the correct answer is d.

11. To answer this question, we need to determine the characteristics of sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia.

First, we need to recognize that both sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia are genetic disorders. Next, we can eliminate option c, as gastrointestinal system disorders are not associated with either condition.

Now, we need to consider options a and b. Sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia are both caused by genetic mutations that result in the production of defective proteins. This means that option a is correct.

Finally, we can eliminate option b, as sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia are not seen in homozygous dominant individuals. In fact, both conditions are recessive disorders. Therefore, the correct answer is d, none of the above.

12. To determine the answer to this question, we need to understand the purpose and benefits of genetic counseling.

Genetic counseling is a process that helps individuals or couples understand and assess their risk of having a child with a genetic disorder. It involves not only assessing the individual's or couple's medical history but may also include analyzing the family pedigree to track the occurrence of genetic issues. The ultimate goal of genetic counseling is to provide information and support in making informed decisions about family planning and reproductive choices.

Now, let's evaluate the options. Option a correctly identifies that genetic counseling helps identify parents at risk for having children with genetic defects. Option b also correctly states that genetic counseling assists parents in deciding whether or not to have children. Option c mentions the use of family pedigree, which is a component of genetic counseling.

Therefore, the option that is NOT a benefit of genetic counseling is d, as genetic counseling primarily focuses on identifying risk and providing information, rather than identifying and treating existing infants with genetic disorders.

MC -- if you can't ascertain whether your answers are correct from your text materials, then you can confirm their accuracy by finding internet sources that support or negate your answers.

Much of the time we tutors do just that -- find answers on the internet.
