🗑
Uses for a pedigree include   if the trait can be inherited and which allele is dominant and which is recessive  
🗑
It is most unlikely to see this on a pedigree.   All symbols half-shaded; everyone's a carrier and no one has the trait.  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Recombinant DNA technology combines   genetic material from different sources into one DNA molecule  
🗑
they can study specific genes   when researchers know the organism's DNA sequence  
🗑
The father of a colorblind boy may be colorblind.   True  
🗑
