- In rabbits, black color (B) is dominant to brown (b), while fullcolor (C) is dominant to chinchilla (c ch). The genes controllingthese traits are linked. Rabbits that are heterozygous for bothtraits and express black, full color are crossed to rabbits thatexpress brown, chinchilla with the following results:31 brown, chinchilla 34 black, full16 brown, full 19 black, chinchillaDetermine the arrangement of alleles in the heterozygousparents and the map distance between the two genes.A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andnormal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings.The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wildtype, 778; black vestigial, 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial,162. What is the recombination frequency between these genesfor body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the resultsof the experiment in Figure 15.9?In domestic chicken, feather colour and shape are two traits which are controlled by autosomal alleles that are co-dominant. Table 2 shows the alleles and phenotype of both traits. The heterozygous state for feather colour is grey while the heterozygous state for feather shape is mildly frizzled. TABLE 2 Trait Allele Effect Feather colour CB Produces black feathers in homozygotes CW Produces white feathers in homozygotes Feather shape SS Produces straight feathers in homozygotes SF Produces frizzled feathers in homozygotes (a)A farmer bred a black frizzled rooster with a grey mildly frizzled hen.

Explain your answer. (c)The farmer would like all his chickens grey and mildly…
- In 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.A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?Height in humans is controlled by the additive action of genes and the action of environmental factors. For the purposes of this problem, assume that height is controlled by four genesA, B, C, and Dand that there are no environmental effects. Assume further that additive alleles contribute two units of height and partially additive alleles contribute one unit of height. a. Given these assumptions, can two individuals of moderate height produce offspring that are much taller and shorter than either parent? If so, how can this happen? b. Can someone of minimum height and someone of intermediate height have children taller than the parent of intermediate height? Why or why not?
- Seed weight in a particular plant species is determined by pairs of alleles attwo loci (a+ a− and b+ b−) that are additive and equal in their effects. Plantswith genotype a− a− b− b− have seeds that average 1 g in weight, whereasplants with genotype a+ a+ b+ b+ have seeds that average 3.4 g in weight. Aplant with genotype a− a− b− b− is crossed with a plant of genotype a+ a+ b+b+.a. What is the predicted weight of seeds from the F1 progeny of this cross?b. If the F1 plants are intercrossed, what are the expected seed weights andproportions of the F2 plants?In humans, "unattached" earlobes are dominant over "attached" earlobes. "Widows peak" hairline is dominant over "non-widows peak" hairline. Use E and e for the earlobe phenotype alleles, and W and w for the hairline phenotype alleles. A female and a male, both with genotype EeWw have a child. What is the probability it will be a boy, and have attached earlobes and a widows peak hairline?Two alleles at one locus produce three distinctphenotypes. Two alleles of two genes lead tofive distinct phenotypes. Two alleles of six geneslead to 13 distinct phenotypes. (These statementsassume that the alleles at any one locus arecodominant or incompletely dominant andthat each gene makes an equal contributionto the phenotype.)a. Derive a formula to express this relationship. (Letn equal the number of genes.)b. Each of the most extreme phenotypes for a traitdetermined by two alleles at one locus are foundin a proportion of 1/4 in the F2 generation. If twoalleles of two genes determine the trait, each extreme phenotype will be present in the F2 as 1/16of the population.In common wheat (Triticum aestivum),kernel color varies from red to white andthe genes controlling the color act additively,that is, alleles for each gene are incompletelydominant and each gene contributes equallyto the color. A true-breeding red variety iscrossed to a true-breeding white variety, and1/256 of the F2…
- Considering the Mendelian traits round versus wrinkledand yellow versus green, consider the crosses belowand determine the genotypes of the parental plants byanalyzing the phenotypes of their offspring.Parental Plants Offspring(a) round, yellow * round, yellow 3/4 round, yellow1/4 wrinkled, yellow(b) wrinkled, yellow * round, yellow 6/16 wrinkled, yellow2/16 wrinkled, green6/16 round, yellow2/16 round, green(c) round, yellow * round, yellow 9/16 round, yellow3/16 round, green3/16 wrinkled, yellow1/16 wrinkled, green(d) round, yellow * wrinkled, green 1/4 round, yellow1/4 round, green1/4 wrinkled, yellow1/4 wrinkled, greenIn rabbits, the color of body fat is controlled by a single genewith two alleles, designated Y and y. The outcome of this traitis affected by the diet of the rabbit. When raised on a standardvegetarian diet, the dominant Y allele confers white body fat,and the y allele confers yellow body fat. However, when raisedon a xanthophyll-free diet, a homozygote yy rabbit has whitebody fat. If a heterozygous rabbit is crossed to a rabbit withyellow body fat, what are the proportions of offspring withwhite and yellow body fat when raised on a standard vegetariandiet? How do the proportions change if the offspring are raisedon a xanthophyll-free diet?Most forms of albinism are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Using a Punnett square, determine the chance that a child would phenotypically express albinism if the genotypes for both parents is Aa, where "A" indicates the dominant unaffected allele and "a" indicates the recessive affected allele. O 75% chance O 50% chance O 0% chance O 100% chance O 25% chance
