Introduction:
- Penetrance refers to the fraction of people who have a specific genetic mutation and exhibit the accompanying phenotype, or observable qualities.
- In other words, it is the extent to which a genetic mutation causes a specific trait to be expressed.
- Penetrance varies for different mutations and traits and can be complete (all individuals with the mutation exhibit the trait), partial (some individuals with the mutation express the trait), or low (where few individuals with the mutation express the trait).
- Penetrance is affected by a number of factors, including the existence of other genetic or environmental factors, and can differ even within the same family.

If two heterozygous plants are crossed, what will the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be? b)2 Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers, and green pods are dominant over yellow pods in pea plants. What would the probability be of producing a pea plant with white flowers and yellow pods from parent plants that are heterozygous for each trait? c)3 Red eyes are dominant on fruit flies but an x-linked recessive allele will produce white-eyed flies. If a pure breeding red-eyed female mates with a white-eyed male, what is the probability of white eyes in the F1 generation?arrow_forwardA cross is performed between a pure-breeding pea plant with round and yellow seeds and a pure-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and green seeds. All F1 progeny have round and yellow seeds. The F1 plants are self-crossed. The following results are observed in the resultant F2 generation: 65 round and yellow, 42 round and green, 50 wrinkled and yellow, and 45 wrinkled and green. Use a Chi Square analysis to determine whether these traits follow Mendel’s law of independent assortment. Show all calculationsarrow_forward

- Achondroplasia 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_forwardIn human beings, the gene for red‑green colorblindness (r) is sex‑linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal‑visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. What is the probability that the first child born to the couple will either be a freckled, colorblind boy or a non‑freckled, normal visioned girl or a non-freckled, normal visioned boy? What is the probability that the first four children born to the couple will be freckled and normal visioned girls?arrow_forwardNiemann Pick Type C disease is a recessive disorder that causes the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomes, ultimately affecting both the liver and the nervous system. Below are the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring of a family with a history of Niemann Pick. 7 NN ( all normal phenotype) 3 Nn (all normal phenotype) 4 nn (1 early onset dementia, 1 mid-life onset dementia, 2 late-onset dementia).
