- The chart below is showing 4 generations of a family that is affected by a hereditary disease. a. Is the disorder being tracked dominant or recessive? How do you know? b. There is only one possible genotype for person C. True or False? c. What are the possible genotypes for person A? d. What are the possible genotypes for person B?, e. If two people with the same genotypes as person C's spouse and person A's spouse had a child, what is the probability that the child will be affected by this genetic disorder? (draw a Punnett square using the correct genotypes to help you). % chance offspring will be affected % chance offspring will not be affectedarrow_forward(1.7 In 'summer squash', white colour in fruits is controlled by a dominant allele, W, and yellow colour by a recessive allele, w. At a different locus, a dominant allele, S, produces disc-shaped fruits while the recessive allele, s, produces round-shaped fruits. If disc-shaped, white homozygous fruits (WWSS) are crossed to round- shaped, yellow homozygous fruits (wwss), all F₁ progenies are disc- shaped and white (WwSs). If F₁ progenies are crossed randomly, what is the expected ratio of the phenotypes in the F2 generation?arrow_forwardIn horses, assume that there are three colors affecting genes with the following effects: AA is lethal, Aa is white (albino), and aa allows color. B_ is black and bb is chestnut. D_ is solid and dd has white spots on color. (Albino would not show spots). A stallion that is heterozygous for all three genes and a mare of genotype AaBbdd are mated.a. What color is the mare and what are the genotypes of the gametes she produces?b. What is the color of the stallion and what are the genotypes of the gametes he produces?c. Construct a Punnett square and determine the frequencies of phenotypes that would be expected in the LIVE offspring.arrow_forward
- This pedigree (below) shows inheritance of a genetic disorder in a family. Assume the trait is rare. What is the mode of inheritance for this trait? [Select] You know this because that mode of inheritance is characterized by: [ Select] • An affected male parent passes the allele to [Select] and [Select] individuals who have the allele express it and and [Select] of his daughters. • An affected female parent passes the allele to [Select] of her daughters. ㅇㅁㅇㅁ î то ◆ of his sons of her so ?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). A man is heterozygoous for the traits and marries a woman who has no widows peak and is heterozygous for hitchhikers thumb. What fraction of this couples children should have a widow's peak and a hitchhiker's thumb? 3/8 1/4 1/2 3/4 0 A2)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).

B = dominant black hair and b = recessive blue hair. So what percentage of the offspring will have black hair vs blue hair?arrow_forward
- Mendelian Genetics Consider blue eyes in a man as recessive to brown eyes. Show the expected children of a marriage between a blue-eyed woman and brown-eyed man who had a blue-eyed mother. Determine the genotypic ratio (GR) and phenotypic ratio (PR) of the F1 using Punnett Square Method. Hint: Determine the genotypes of each individual first.arrow_forwardIn cattle, Horned (H) is completely dominant over the hornless (h) condition. A horned bull is bred to two cows. With cow A, which is hornless, a horned calf is produced. With cow B, also hornless, a hornless calf is produced. What are the genotypes of the bull and the two cows?arrow_forwardAchondroplasia is a hereditary condition caused by a dominant allele in humans (dominant allele A). This disorder affects bone growth specifically in long bones of the upper and lower limbs by preventing the ossification of bones from cartilage. Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for the following family scenarios in a and b below. Two parents who have the Achondroplasia phenotype have 4 children where 1 is normal NOTE: You must draw a Punnet square to determine the possible genotypes of te children. When two alternative genotypes are possible for an individual, indicate both.arrow_forward
- A cross is performed between individuals with the following genotypes: Aabb and aaBb. Use a Punnett square and predicted probabilities to answer the following questions. A. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for the first trait and recessive for the second? B. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for both traits? C. What is the probability that two offspring are dominant for both traits?arrow_forwardIf a B is a dominant allele that codes for a trait where the bearer of this allele has a black coat, and b is a recessive allele where the bearer has a brown coat, the recessive genotype will exhibit the phenotype of brown coat, the genotype will have the black coat phenotype, and the dominant genotype will have the black coat phenotype.
