Question
Midphalangeal hair (hair on top of the middle
segment of the fingers) is a common phenotype
caused by a dominant allele M. Homozygotes for
the recessive allele (mm) lack hair on the middle
segment of their fingers. Among 1000 families in
which both parents had midphalangeal hair, 1853
children showed the trait while 209 children did not.

Why is this fact important forcalculations of heritability?arrow_forward
- why Most polymorphisms areanonymous?arrow_forwardThe part that is missing is where the traits for things like colorblindness and hemophilia exist. This meansthat if you have XY chromosomes, you are missing alleles on one of the chromosomes. So whatever alleleis on your X is expressed regardless of if being dominant or recessive. These X-Linked Traits have a specialway to note the alleles.X-Linked alleles use X and Y as their base and then the allele that notates the trait is in the top, rightcorner. For instance: Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) XY with Hemophilia XhY XX withouth Hemophilia XHXh Notice that the female has two X’s so has 2 alleles. She is not a hemophiliac, but is carrying the trait.That means she can pass the trait to her offspring.Why don’t you cross those two parents here and find the outcome:Parents: Offspring: Genotypes:Phenotypes: Is there a chance of producing an XY offspring with hemophilia?
