Frieda is studying an example of a human karyotype. She makes the following claim about the karyotype.
“I can determine which sex chromosome was donated by the male parent, and which sex chromosome was donated by the female parent.”
Frieda’s claim is accurate under which of these conditions?

Horace is using a computer model to study the relationship between the genes and phenotype of an individual. In one experiment, Horace alters the nucleotide sequence in one of the model genes. In response, the computer shows that the eye color of the individual changes from brown to blue.
How did the change in the gene cause the change in phenotype?

Refer to the passage and diagram to answer the next 3 questions.
A team of scientists is studying the inheritance of eyelash length in humans. Eyelash length is either long or short, and is controlled by a single autosomal gene.
The eyelash lengths of the members of one family are shown in the pedigree below. The pedigree labels the generations I, II, and III. The male and female in Generation I are the parents of the three males shown in Generation II, and are the grandparents of the three females shown in Generation III.

Three family members each have short eyelashes. These family members include one male and two females.
Which statement accurately compares the genotypes for eyelash length among the three family members?

Use the information from question 5 to help answer this question.
Some of the family members must be heterozygous for the trait of eyelash length, meaning their genotypes include one allele for long eyelashes and one allele for short eyelashes. In which generation are these family members?
