Question

16. A woman who is type O marries a man who is heterozygous for type A. What are the chances that they will have a
type O baby?
Tracking two traits. Now it's time to track two traits at the same time.

Expert Solution

Step 1

There are four blood type groups which are type AB, type A, type B and type O. These are phenotypes because they are the actual physical expression of the trait which is controlled by the inherited alleles.

Part B 1. For the remaining characteristics, you will be looking at homozygous and heterozygous traits. Each trait will be determined to be homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, or hetero- zygous. Letters representing the alleles will be given to you; the uppercase letter is always dominant and the lowercase letter is always recessive. If both dice rolled are even numbers, it indicates homozygous dominant alleles; if both are odd, it indicates homozygous recessive alleles; if one is odd and the other even, it indicates heterozygous alleles. 2. Eyebrows: Use the alleles "A" and "a" for this trait. Two separate brows are the dominant trait, whereas the unibrow (or one continuous brow) is recessive. 3. Eye shape: Use the alleles "R" and "r" for this trait. Round eyes are the dominant trait; almond shaped eyes are recessive. 4. Hitchhiker's thumb: Use the alleles "H" and "h" for this trait. Straight thumbs are dominant; Hitchhiker's thumbs (the curving upward of the thumb) are…
1. Red-green colorblindness is caused by a recessive allele (x) at an X-linked gene, and albinism is caused by a recessive allele (a) at an autosomal gene. A phenotypically normal woman (Sara) has a father who is colorblind, and she knows that she is a carrier for albinism. She plans to have a child with a colorblind man (Abdul) who is also a carrier for albinism. What is the probability that Sara and Abdul's child will have one of the conditions, but not both? (C. Follow the steps below to answer this question. a) What is the cross? b) What are the target genotypes? Note: it might be useful to come back to this one and double- check it after you have completed step c, below. Break this down to the single gene level by answering the following questions: a.

10. In the video example, the sex-linked disorder was a recessive trait. However, sex-linked disorders can be dominant! (Conduct a search to see some of the sex-linked dominant disorders that exist). Sex- linked dominant disorders will show even if there is only one dominant allele present. Using the allele D to stand for a dominant sex-linked trait, show a cross with a woman who does not have a dominant sex-linked disorder (X*Xª) with a man that does. Will the disorder in this particular cross be more common in daughters or sons?
