In owl, barring (B) is sex linked and dominant recessive allele (b) producing solid black color when homozygous. Silky feathers (s) is a recessive autosomal gene as opposed to non-silky (S). If black cocks, heterozygous for non-silky, are crossed to barred, silky hens, what genotype and

- The image shows a pair of homologous chromosomes from a single parent before gamete production. M1 and M2 are maternal chromosomes, while P1 and P2 are paternal chromosomes. Two traits are shown: D represents seed color (D – green, d – yellow), while F represents flower color (F – purple, f – white). These two traits follow the patterns of basic Mendelian genetics. During crossing-over between the M2 F allele and the P1 f allele, a mutation occurred and the portion of P1 did not reattach to the chromosome. Which of the following explains what would happen to the proportion of white flowers in a population resulting from this mutation? A - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is distributed to more gametes. B - There would be a decrease in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is not distributed to as many gametes. C - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele would not be masked by the…arrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for normal opsins in the cones of the eyes, C, is dominant to the allele for colour- blindness, c. The trait is X-linked. A woman who is not colour-blind has a father who is colour-blind. If this woman has a child with a man who is colour-blind, what is the probability of them having a colour-blind son? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature. Express your answer as a frequency between 0-1.arrow_forwardThe Delacour family is descended from the Veela race, a semi-human, semi-magical humanoid people reminiscent of the Sirens in Greek mythology with special powers. Imagine that being a Veela and having these powers is a X-Linked Dominant trait that is passed on genetically. (Hint: Use the Punnett Square.) What are the possible genotypes for Fleur and Bill’s daughter, Victoire? What are the genotypic frequencies related to the female children (in percentage format)? What is the likelihood (in percentage format) that Victoire would express Veela powers?arrow_forward
- The 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_forwardIn humans, ABO blood types refer to glycoproteins in the membranes of red blood cells. There are three alleles for this autosomal gene: IA, IB, and i. The IA allele codes for the A sugar, The IB allele codes for the B sugar, and the i allele doesn't code for any sugar. IA and IB are codominant, and i is recessive to both IA and IB. If an individual with type AB blood has a child with an individual with type O blood, what blood types could their children possibly have?arrow_forwardCan you please not type the answer can you write it on a paperarrow_forward
- 3) You have sought a job at a human genetic counseling clinic. They gave you an aptitude test shown below. Answer the yes/no questions concerning each of the following pedigrees. Pedigree A: YES or NO Could this trait be inherited as a simple autosomal recessive? Could this trait be inherited as a simple autosomal dominant? Could this trait be inherited as a simple X-linked recessive? Could this trait be inherited as a simple X-linked dominant? Pedigree B: YES or NO Could this trait be inherited as a simple autosomal recessive? Could this trait be inherited as a simple autosomal dominant? Could this trait be inherited as a simple X-linked recessive? Could this trait be inherited as a simple X-linked dominant?arrow_forwardAn AABB zebra fish is crossed with an aabb zebra fish. (A) is the dominant allele and (a) is the recessive allele of an autosomal gene. Similar relations exist between (B) and (b) alleles of another fish autosomal gene, at a different locus. The F1 are crossed with a homozygote recessive. a)What will be the results of the testcross and the progeny ratios if genes A and B are completely linked? b)What will the results of the testcross be if the loci assort independently? c) What will the results of the testcross be if the loci are linked with a certain recombination (crossing over) frequency?arrow_forward
