- What explains how the parents in a family both have the same eye color, but some of their children have a different eye color? Assume for this example that eye color is determined by a single gene. ● One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other homozygous recessive for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait. O The parents are both heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O The parents are both homozygous dominant for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait.All of the following statements aboutinheritance are true, except one. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT ? O All genes have two alleles: one dominant and one recessive. Some phenotypes arise from the interaction of more than one gene. O Incomplete dominance is when heterozygotes express a phenotype that appears to be a blend between the phenotypes of homozygotes. O Even If you know the genotypes of both parents, you cannot always know with certainty the genotype their child will have.In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
- A sex-influenced trait is dominant in males of a certain speciesof animal and causes bushy tails. The same trait is recessive infemales. Fur color is not sex-influenced.Yellow fur is dominantto white fur. A true-breeding female with a bushy tail and yellowfur was crossed to a white male without a bushy tail (i.e., a normaltail). The F1 females were then crossed to white males withoutbushy tails. The following results were obtained: A. Conduct a chi square test to determine if these two genes arelinked.B. If the genes are linked, calculate the map distance betweenthem. Explain which data you used in your calculation.TTGG ttgg F1 TG tg F2 TtGg Which types of genotypes are represented in F1 and F2 in the above figure, respectively? heterozygous and heterozygous heterozygous and homozygous homozygous and heterozygous homozygous and homozygousIn rabbits, fur colour can be either grey, black or blotchy. Blotchy is present as grey and black spotspresent in no specific pattern. Males are almost always either grey or black, while females can begrey, black or blotchy. However, a male individual is found that shows the blotchy pattern, and youexpect a non-disjunction event might be to blame. Explain the inheritance of coat colour in rabbits,and also provide an explanation for the blotchy male.
- The coat colour of some dogs is an example of an epistatic interaction. The common alleles are black (B) and brown (b). There is a separate gene on a separate chromosome that influences coat colour; it prevents colour formation and causes a white coat. L = prevents color formation and causes a white coatl = allows colour formation to occur.If a white dog heterozygous for both traits is crossed with a black dog that is heterozygous for the color gene, which of the following represents the phenotypes of the offspring? Select one:Normal pigmentation dominates no pigmentation (albino). For an organism to exhibit color, it must have an allele for normal pigment production as well as alleles for a specific color. In cattle, red color dominates black color. An albino bull that has a heterozygous genotype for red is crossed with a red cow. The cow is heterozygous for normal pigment production and for red coloring. What types of offspring will they produce, and what is the probability of producing these types of offspring? Show your work.Eye Color is a trait that involves a number of genes. To simplify our example, we can break down the traitinto two phenotypes: dark color and light color eyes. Dark coloration is considered dominant, or isexpressed in a heterozygous condition (when the alleles are different).Q: If you have one light eyed parent and one parent that is homozygous for dark eye color, what are thepotential eye colors of their offspring (young)? To start, what do the Parents’ alleles look like? What istheir Genotype? (Remember, you pick which letter you want to use)Light eye colored parent:Dark eye colored parent:One of the things Mendel designed was a way to provide information about how the genes are passed onfrom parent to offspring. He designed something called a Punnett Square. This square places the parents’alleles outside the box, then uses those alleles to fill in the squares.Let’s start with a reminder of what we know about the parents: Parent Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) 1 2
- What is epistasis? a gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus having multiple phenotypic effects when two alleles both affect the phenotype in separate distinguishable ways a cross between an individual with an unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive individualAlbinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation. Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h . Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y. What is the probability that they will have:a. a child with normal skin? _____________________b. a child with normal blood? _____________________c. an albino girl? _____________________d. A hemophilic boy? _____________________The production of eye-color pigment in Drosophila requires the dominant allele A. The dominant allele P of asecond independent gene turns the pigment to purple,but its recessive allele leaves it red. A fly producing nopigment has white eyes. Two pure lines were crossedwith the following results:P red-eyed female white-eyed maleF1 purple-eyed femalesred-eyed malesF1 F1purple eyed 38red eyed 38white eyed 28F both males and females: 2Explain this mode of inheritance, and show the genotypesof the parents, the F1, and the F2.
