True Falsearrow_forwardName: Human Phenotypes Simple dominance inheritance pattern: Q: How many phenotypes are evident in patterns of simple dominance? What are they? If a phenotype results from simple dominance, which two genotypes cannot be distinguished? Which phenotype is always representative of the genotype? Now determine your personal inheritance of the following traits. As you read through the following descriptions, you'll identify your trait, and determine your phenotype. Your trait will be one of the two Shape of the face. Most facial characteristics are affected by many different genes acting together (multiple factors or polygenic inheritance). For this trait we have simplified the nature of this trait by assuming it is the result of a single gene. Oval shape is dominant (needs only homozygous (both alleles are the same, either dominant or recessive) or heterozygous (one dominant allele and one recessive allele). Square shape is recessive (requires that both alleles are the recessive allele in…arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the most likely description of the trait in the following family tree? X-linked Recessive X-linked Dominant Y-linked Autosomal Dominant Autosomal Recessivearrow_forwardGenetic Inheritance Patterms Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition. His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. Draw a pedigree of Eric's family showing possible genotypes and chances of having RP. Your pedigree must include his parents, Eric, his brother Dirk, and a potential daughter of Eric's. Draws a pedigree that shows the correct genotypes and chances of having retinitis pigmentosa for Eric and his family. D.Focus (United States) a S W 37 F 八 口arrow_forward
