Question
In humans, Tongue roller and widows peak are dominant over non-tongue roller and straight hairline. A heterozygote in both regards (for both tongue roller and hairline) reproduces with a similar heterozygote (they have the same genotype as the other parent). What is the chance of any one child having the same

- A black guinea pig is mated to a white guinea pig, and they produce 12 black offspring Then, the same white guinea pig is mated to a different black guinea pig, and they produce 7 black and 5 white offspring. What is the best explanation for the difference between these two matings? In your answer, you must include genotypes for the parents and offspring of each cross.arrow_forwardIn peas, the dominant R allele produces peas that are round, whereas the recessive r allele produces peas that are wrinkled. The dominant Y allele produces yellow peas, and the recessive y allele produces green peas. If two heterozygous round, yellow pea plants (RrYy) were crossed (RrYy X RrYy), answer the following regarding the possible progeny. QUESTION: What proportion of the offspring will have the genotype RR? Question 10 options: 1/2 1/16 1/4 3/4arrow_forwardIn certain lizards, scaly skin is dominant to smooth skin and speckled color is dominant to grey color. These traits are inherited according to traditional Mendelian genetics (no linkage). The total progeny for a breeding pair of lizards resulted in the offspring listed below. What are the genotypes of the male and female parents? 102 scaly skinned, speckled off spring 110 smooth skinned, speckled offspring 38 scaly skinned, grey offspring 32 smooth skinned, grey offspringarrow_forward
- If two individuals are crossed (RrYy x RrYy), what percentage of their offspring will display the R_yy phenotype? (the _ could be either R or r, it would not affect the phenotype).arrow_forwardThe shape of a heliodor is an X-linked trait. Male heliodors inherit two X chromosomes, while the females inherit an X and a Y chromosome. The recessive allele codes for the common bell-shape while the dominant phenotype is a round shape . Hudson is a round male and has offspring with Heidi, a bell-shaped female. They already have one daughter, Hannah, who is shaped like her mother. There is [blank] % that their next child will also be bell-shaped female like Hannah.arrow_forwardWhat cross will result in a ratio of 3 dominant phenotype offspring for every 1 recessive offspring? What cross will result in a 1:2:1 genotype ratio in the offspring? What cross will result in all homozygous recessive offspring?arrow_forward
- Male cats are either black (B) or orange (O). Females are black, orange, or calico, which has patches of black and orange. Calico is formed from the codominance between the two alleles in the heterozygote, so a calico cat is (XB XO). Give the genotype and phenotype ratio of a cross between an orange male cat and a calico cat.arrow_forwardDescribe a drug therapy that has been used for patients infected with SARS CoV2. What does it target/disrupt – a part of the virus itself, a viral process, the host immune response?arrow_forwardBrown hair(B) is dominant over blond. Brown eyes (F) are dominant over blue eyes (f). A woman who is homozygous for blond hair and Brown eyes marries a heterozygous for Brown hair and has blue eyes. What does the dihybrid cross look like. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspringarrow_forward
- The discovery of sex-linked traits came from a genetic experiment on flies. A white eyed male fly was discovered. The trait was discovered to be sex-linked recessive. To guarantee that the white eye trait is recessive, he did a cross of XRXr and XrY. Complete the Punnett Square. State the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.arrow_forwardFigure 8.16 What ratio of offspring would result from a cross between a white-eyed male and a female that is heterozygous for red eye color?arrow_forward
