If two carriers of the gene for albinism marry and have children, then each of their children has a probability of 1/4 of being albino. Let the random variable Y denote the number of their albino children out of all 3 of their children. Then Y follows a binomial(n. p) distribution. Find the values for n and p. n= p=

In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.

Which of the following statements is true about the molecular basis of Mendel's second law? OThe random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the second round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's second law of independent assortment of alleles. OThe random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the first round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's 2nd law. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of sister chromatids during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the first round of cell division in Meiosis.

A phenotypic ratio of 6:6:4 is possible between a male who is heterozygous free earlobes and heterozygous freckles, and a female who is homozygous free earlobes and heterozygous. The genotype of the female is written this way Eeff. Key: E = free earlobes e = attached earlobes F = freckles f = no freckles O If both statements are FALSE If both statements are TRUE O If the first statement is FALSE and the second statement is TRUE O If the first statement is TRUE and the second statement is FALSE
True False One heritable factors such as recessive form could mask the presence of the alternate allele which is in dominant form A Punnett square is used to predict the genotype and the phenotype of an offspring after a genetic cross. Mendel's law of dominance states that "when parents with pure and contrasting traits are crossed together, only one form of trait appears in the next generation." A homozygous individual could have a "Ee" as genotype DNA has a ribose sugar. G..pdf rer
