In some goats, the presence of horns is determined by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female H+H+ is crossed with a horned male H+H-. H+ represents the allele for presence of horns and H- represents the allele for hornlessness. In the cross described above, what percentage of the male offspring would be predicted to have horns? 100 percent 25 percent 50 percent zero

As it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progeny
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Determine the possible genotypes of the following parents by analyzing the phenotypes of their children. In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, right-handed Offspring: 6/16 blue eyes, right-handed 2/16 blue eyes, left-handed 6/16 brown eyes, right-handed 2/16 brown eyes, left-handed c. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, left-handed Offspring: 1/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 brown eyes, left-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, left-handed
In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
Human ABO blood type is controlled by the I locus and has three possible alleles. The alleles which code for type A blood (IA) and type B blood (1³) are codominant, while the allele for type O blood (i) is recessive. In a cross between a person with a genotype of lªi and a person with genotype I³i, what is the probability of having three offspring with type 0 blood? O 1/4 O 1/32 O 1/64 O 1/8 O 1/16
The presence of horns on satyrs is produced by a sex-influenced autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 are then intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 generation will be horned? O % of the males and none of the females O % of males and % of females O All of the males and none of the females O % of the males and % of females O ½ of the males and none of the females
In earlobes, free (F) earlobe is dominant while attached (f) earlobe is recessive. What proportion of the offspirng would we expect to have attached earlobes in the following crosses: 1. Heterozygous dominant for ree earlobes with homozygous dominant for free earlobes. ______ 2. Homozygous dominant for free earlobes with attached earlobes. ______ 3. Attached earlobes with attached earlobes. (Answer in percent) ______
The production of eye-color pigment in Drosophila requires the dominant allele A. The dominant allele P of asecond independent gene turns the pigment to purple,but its recessive allele leaves it red. A fly producing nopigment has white eyes. Two pure lines were crossedwith the following results:P red-eyed female white-eyed maleF1 purple-eyed femalesred-eyed malesF1 F1purple eyed 38red eyed 38white eyed 28F both males and females: 2Explain this mode of inheritance, and show the genotypesof the parents, the F1, and the F2.
In humans, long eyelashes (L) are dominant to short eyelashes (I). On the left are three boxes, each containing one possible genotype for eyelash length. Match the terms/phrases on the right with their correct genotype(s); some labels may be used more than once, and some labels may not be used at all. LL LI = 11 All offspring will have long eyelashes when crossed with LI genotype Homozygous recessive Will have long eyelashes Homozygous dominant Hemizygous Heterozygous Will have short eyelashes All offspring will have medium-length eyelashes
In watermelons, the allele for green fruit is autosomal dominant (G) over the striped fruit (gg). The allele for short fruit (B) is dominant over the allele for ong fruit (bb). A green short watermelon plant that is heterozygous forr both traits is crossed with a striped long waterelon plant. What are the chances for their of their offspring to be striped and short? Green short genotype: Green short gametes allele: Striped long genotype: Striped long gametes allele:
Fruit flies having one allele for curly wings (Cy) and one allele for normal wings (Cy+) develp curly wings. Fruit flies homozygous for normal wings (Cy+) develop normal wings. When two curly-winged flies were crossed, 204 curly-winged and 98 normal-winged flies. In fact, all crosses between curly-winged flies produce nearly the same curly-winged to normal-winged ratio. How would you explain these results? The Cy allele is epistatic to the Cy+ allele. The Cy+ allelle shows partial dominance over the Cy allele. The Cy allele is dominant for the curly phenotype and is lethal when homozygous. The Cy+ allele is dominant over the Cy allele and is lethal when homozygous. The Cy+ and Cy alles are co-dominant.
