An S1S2 ×S1S2 mating is performed. If the
(Justify your answer)
A) one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.
B) neither allele is dominant.
C) the S1 allele is dominant to the S2 allele.
D) the S2 allele is dominant to the S1 allele.
E) the relationship between the alleles cannot be determined
In the given case, each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele making both the parents heterozygotes. Mating two heterozygous individuals result in a phenotype with a fraction of 3:1, where three progenies have a dominant phenotype and one has a recessive phenotype. These are phenotypic ratios rather than genotypic ratios, and the cross follows the rules of Mendelian genetics. The above cross does not specify which allele is dominant or recessive. Thus we can conclude one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.

- Using the following allelic series A1>A2>A3>A4, indicate what would be the phenotype of a A1A3 heterozygote? O A) A1 phenotype O B) A3 phenotype C) both A1 and A3 phenotypes D) A2 phenotypearrow_forwardYou cross true breeding blue and red morning glories and get all blue offspring. a) Based on this information alone: i) How many loci are involved in the expression of this trait? How many alleles? What are the dominant and recessive interactions between the alleles at the locus/loci? ii)what are the possible genotypes of the parents and F1s? iii) Based on your hypothesized genotypes from ii, what do you expect the outcome of a cross between the F1's to be? (i.e. what phenotypes in what ratios?) b) You then cross the F1 individuals and you obtain the following results Blue - 200 purple - 126 red - 24 i) Are these results statistically consistent with your hypothesis above? (prove it!) ii) If not, what is an alternative hypothesis that might explain these results? Are these results the result of one locus or 2? Test your new hypothesis using chi-squared test. Discuss the meaning of your results. (Note: If your hypothesis proves wrong, that is OK!!! But you have to be able to discuss…arrow_forwardWhat is incomplete dominance? A) When one Allele produces the phenotypic expression. B) When two Alleles produce the phenotypic expression. C) When all Alleles produce the phenotypic expression.arrow_forward
- A breeder performed a testcross to find out if his male dog was a purebred black. He got one brown puppy and seven black puppies, did he have the purebred? (explain) What was the genotype of the female dog he used in test cross (BB), (Bb), or (bb)? (explain)arrow_forwardSickle-cell disease is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between a father who has sickle-cell disease and a mother who is heterozygous for the sickle-cell allele, what is the probability that all of their first three children will be unaffected? A) 1/4B) 1/2C) noneD) 1/8E) 1/16arrow_forwardall of the offspring of a cross between a black eyed mendelien and an orange-eyed mendelien have black eyes. This means that the allele for black eyes is ___ the allele for orange eyes. A)Codominant toB)more aggressive thanC)recessive toD)dominant toE)better thanarrow_forward
- Dominant alleles are so called because under most circumstances they____ a) code for genes that are never considered lethal c) they are expressed whenever present d)code for desired traits only e) they are found on all 22 somatic chromosomes and not on sex chromosomesarrow_forwardIn a cross between an aabb animal and an AABb animal, what fraction of the offspring are expected to have the AaBb genotype? a) 25% b) 50% c) 75% d) 100% e) 0%arrow_forwardAll of the following are reasons that Mendel chose the pea plant as a model system for his studies EXCEPT ________. A) peas have a relatively short generation time B) peas produce large numbers of seeds C) he could control which parents were involved in mating D) peas only reproduce by cross-fertilizationarrow_forward
