Biology - November 2007

With genetic disorders and diseases ever increasing---from 1400 to 12,000 in the 33 years from 1966 to 1999 and projected to increase further, are we doomed to extinction by the end of this century as some researchers have stated?
Quote "By 2031, it is estimated (R2 = 0.995) there will be 100,000 human genetic disorders and by 2096 1,000,000 (see Figure 3). “At least one clinical disorder has been related to 1,318 of the mapped loci (roughly 30%)” (McKusick, 1998, Vol. 1, xiii - xviii). That suggests genetic disorder saturation of each locus by 2031 and supersaturation by 2096. These data confirm human devolution and suggest imminent permanent genetic extinction in this century."

In cocker spaniels, black is a dominant trait (B), red is recessive (b). Solid color is dominant (D) and white spotting is recessive (s). A red male was mated to a black-and-white female. They had five puppies as follows: 1 black, 1 red, 1 black-and-white, and 2 red-and-white. What are the genotypes of the parents?

I was reading this and i tried solving it. I attempted to use a punnett square (4x4) and place the traits there.. but i kind of got lost. I was wondering if you could help me solve this problem-- i'd greatly appreciate it!

Through the bone structure and everything scientists/archaelogists have found and preserved, i read/heard that dinosaurs can be brought back by the government,but are not doiing so because they fear the dinosaur could go on a killing spree? With all the technology we have,stemcell research and all,scientists creating animals through ismple egg cells and even body cells,hard to believe we cant revive prehistoric creatures,including mammoths,dinosaurs,sabre toothed tigers,and others.
