Human Genetics questions?

That's 16 questions ... I should do all that work for only 2 points?



And what is this from? If your teacher typed it, they gotta work on their spelling. If you did the typing, wouldn't it just have been easier to look through your book for the answers?



I'll answer a few off the top of my head:



56. F



58. This is a bad question because "lack of pigment in the eyes" is not specific enough.



60. T



62. F



66. T



69. F



But really, these should be pretty answerable by paging through the chapter looking for the key words. 68 and 70, for example, should be really easy.
