I was with my husband and others at a NC tourist attraction called "Blowing Rock"., a rock outcrop at top of a mountain, always windy. Anyway, this report actually flew into me, wrapped around my leg. And for educational purposes, I will add here for study and discussion.
Every person has 2 numeric values at each loci - - the child gets one from each parent. I covered the names before copying the paper - - but you can see at the bottom, the man WAS the father. Sorry it isn't all neat, but I was in a hurry to get it copied.
Note how different loci have different values. (The PI) I think that is based on the purpose of that gene. Brown eyes would have a certain numerical value and that would be far less than the gene carrying something like Huntington's disease or Tay Sachs disease.
Anyway, I admit I am NO expert on DNA. It confuses the heck out of me. But I do try and thought this report rather enlightening.
