Concept explainers
Hair texture is specified by wither curly or straight hair, both of which are dominant traits. A person heterozygote for hair texture has wavy hair. Hemophilia in humans if an X-linked recessive disorder. Harry's mother has curly hair and his father has straight hair. Harry also has hemophilia. Harry's wife is heterozygous for both traits
a. show the genotypes of Harry and his wife
b. show the punnett square
c. what is the chance that the daughters of this couple are heterozygous for both traits
d. what is the chance that any of their daughters will suffer from hemophilia
e. what is the change that any of their sons will not have the disease hemophilia and will be heterozygous with respect for hair color
f. what is the chance that any of their sons will suffer from hemophilia
g. what percentage of their children will have curly hair, what percentage will have straight hair, and what percentage will have wavy hair

- In the example below, crossing you left thumb over your right thumb is dominant T to crossing your right over left recessive t. Identify the genotype of the individual shown below: OShutterstock / robynleig O A. homozygous dominant (TT) O B. heterozygous dominant (Tt) or homozygous dominant (TT) OC. homozygous recessive (tt) O D. Cannot be determined from information providedarrow_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_forwardwhat does this picture show?what is possible genotype for female parent?what is genotype for male??arrow_forward
- ABO blood group is co-dominant for AB and O is recessive. Rh (+/-) factor is completely dominant. A man with O/positive blood and a woman with A/negative blood have six children. All of their children have A + blood type. What can you conclude about the parents’ genotypes? Group of answer choices Both mother and father are likely homozygous at both loci Mother was homozygous at the ABO locus but heterozygous at the Rh factor locus Father was homozygous at the ABO locus but heterozygous at the Rh factor locus Mother was heterozygous at both lociarrow_forwardA. For the following genotypes state the ABO blood phenotype. JAJA |B|O_ 101⁰_ |A|B_ B. Using genetic diagrams, show how it is possible for a couple with a type A mother and a type B father can have a child with type O blood. C. Using genetic diagrams show how a type AB person with a type O partner have offspring that share neither of their phenotypes.arrow_forwardMendelian 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_forward
- In domestic chickens, feather color is inherited as an incompletely dominant trait. Feather color is inherited as: BB= Black Bb= Speckled bb= White What are the predicted phenotypes and their frequencies for each of the following crosses? A. BB rooster x white hen Black ___________ Speckled ___________ White ___________ B. Speckled rooster x speckled hen Black ___________ Speckled ___________ White ___________ C. Speckled rooster x white hen Black ___________ Speckled ___________ White ___________arrow_forwardAssume Mendelian inheritance laws apply, and a trait is either completely dominant or recessive. Еye color: Br – dominant brown bl – recessive blue Hair color Br" -- dominant brown bl" – recessive blonde A male with brown eyes and brown hair (genotype Br"Br"Br"bl") is planning on having a child with a female who has blue eyes and brown hair (genotype bl"bl*Br"bl"). A) Fill in all blanks (8 total to complete the two-trait Punnett Square 1). 2) Possible allelic combinations in male gametes 5) 6) 7) 8).arrow_forwardshow a cross between a woman with blood type o and a man who is heterozygous blood type b. Using mendels rules. What is the percent chance that the child has blood type o?arrow_forward
