Question
Color blindness occurs in about 8% of North American men of European descent, but only about 4% of North American men of African descent. Assuming X-linked recessive inheritance for color blindness, what frequencies of color blindness would you expect in each of these populations?

- If the frequency of the "green" form of red-green color blindness (due to an X-linked locus) is 5 percent among males, what fraction of females would be affected? Assuming H-W equilibrium what fraction of females would be heterozygous?arrow_forwardColor blindness is typically an inherited genetic condition in which individuals have a decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness only occurs in individuals who have two recessive alleles for the condition. Normal color vision is due to a dominant allele (C) Color blindness is due to the recessive allele (c) a) If Susan is homozygous for normal vision, and Matt is homozygous for color blindness, what is the likelihood (in percentage) that their son Alex will have color blindness? Perform a Punnett Square (either below or by hand on paper) to find the probability. Provide your answer in a full sentence.

- Incomplete Dominance and Codominance So far, we have been studying the inheritance of genes that show complete dominance. In other words, one allele is completely dominant over another. In some cases, such as incomplete dominance and codominance, one allele is not completely dominant over another or the alleles affect the phenotype equally. Examples of incomplete dominance include feather color in parrots (C*C* = blue, C'C = yellow, C*Cf = green) and hair texture in humans CC = curly; C'C' = straight; CC' = wavy Practice Problem 3: За. If a straight-haired man marries a curly haired woman, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If a parrot with yellow feathers is crossed with a parrot with green feathers, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? 3b.arrow_forwardA1) The allele for widows peak (H) is dominant for the allele for no widows peak (h). At a different gene locus, the allele for hitchhikers thumb (D) is dominant to the allele for non-hitchhikers thumb (d).
