BackgroundProblem N° 7Objective: To illustrate the use of testcrosses to establish unknown genotypes.In dogs (Canis familiaris), there is a hereditary deafness caused by the recessive gene d. A kennel owner has amale dog (Fido, of course) that she wants to use for breeding purposes. She comes to you for genetlc advice. Thedog can hear, so you know that his genotype is either DD or Dd.For this problem, you are allowed to usePunnett squares or pedigrees.If Fido's genotype were Dd, the owner would not use him for breeding so that the deafness gene will not bepassed on. The dog's genotype can be ascertained via a test-cross with a deaf female (dd). Draw Punnett squaresor pedigrees to illustrate these two possible crosses.A test cross uses an individual whosegenotype we can be certain of, i.e., ahomozygous recessive for a particular trait.Such organism is crossed with one whosegenotype we do not know (remember thehomozygous recessive always express therecessive phenotype). In this case, a dd dogwill be deaf and a hearing dog can be DD orDd (i.e., D- represents both homozygousdominant and heterozygous until thegenotype is determined).O000ofThe results of a test cross will be eitherdd X DD → All Dd (all hearing), the unkonwngenotype is DD;a. Use fractions or decimals to indicate proportions: In each case, what proportion of the offspringwould be expected to be hearing?ordd X Dd > % Dd + % dd (half hearing,half deaf), the unknowngenotype is Dd.b. What proportion would be expected to be deaf?So, the proportion of hearing dogs willindicate the unknown genotype.c. How could you tell the genotype of the male dog (in parental generation P)?d. Also, using a Punnett square, how would you explain to the kennel owner that two hearing dogscould produce deaf offspring? Indicate to the kennel owner what kind(s) of gametes (ova or sperm)could hearing dogs produce to conceive a deaf puppy

Tay Sachs disease is a recessive lethal. Abnormally shortened fingers are the heterozygous form of a dominant lethal. What phenotypes would you expect among teen-age children from parents who are heterozygous for both traits?..
Please explain how genetic heterogeneity can result in a child with normal hearing from parents who were both deaf due to genetic mutations.
eredity is the passage of genetic information from parents to spring. The rules of inheritance were discovered in the 19th ntury by Gregor Mendel. With the Mouse Genetics (One Trait) zmo TM, you will study how one trait, or feature, is inherited. Drag two black mice into the Parent 1 and Parent 2 boxes Click Breed to view the five offspring of these parents. What do the offspring look like? The appearance of each mouse is also called its phenotype Click Clear, and drag two white mice into the parent boxes Click Breed several times What is the phenotype of the offspring now? B. Do you thìnk mouse offspring will always look like their parents?
Frieda breeds her black rooster with Elsie’s white hen. The offspring are all evenly speckled black and white. Elsie keeps all the chicks and adds them to her flock of white chickens. “I want to breed chickens that look like Dalmation dogs: mostly white, but with some black speckles,” says Elsie. Will Elsie be able to do this? Use Punnett squares to explain your answer.

A couple comes to you, a genetics counselor, asking for you to explain to them their risk of having a child with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive condition that impacts the lungs and the digestive system. The man, Julian, has a brother with the condition. He was tested for the gene, and he found out that he is a carrier (Ff), and his significant other, Gabby, is also a carrier (Ff). Use this information to answer the quesitons below. Identify the genotype of Julian. Homozygous recessive Homozygous dominat Heterozygous

The white spotting is caused by the S gene (“S” stands for spotting), which has 2 alleles: big S (spotting) and little s (no spotting). The big S allele is dominant, so if there is at least one S allele (SS or Ss), the cat will have white spots. Calix has white spots, so he definitely has at least one big S allele. The rest of the fur color is controlled by the O gene that also has 2 alleles: big O (orange fur) and little o (black fur). The O gene is on the X chromosome. Males only have one X chromosome, so they can only have one allele for the O gene. They can either be orange (O) or black (o). Females have two X chromosomes, so they can have two alleles for the O gene. If they have two O alleles (OO), they are orange. If they have two o alleles (oo), they are black. If they have one of each allele (Oo), they have both orange and black fur. female: XX male:XY Which of the following fur colors are possible in males? Choose all that apply. Remember that the S gene for white spots is…
