- Part 1: Make a three part process drawing (like a cartoon strip) to demonstrate Mendel’s Principle of Segregation. Use two parents with homologous chromosomes marked with alleles “A” and “a”. Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes (indicate when this happens), and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring Part 2: Use the cross Aa x Aa and a Punnett square to demonstrate Mendel’s Principle of Segregation. Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring. Write the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.arrow_forwardThis pedigree (Pedigree #2) illustrates the inheritance of a simple Mendelian trait. If individuals III- 5 and III-6 have children, what are the chances that the children would have this disorder? 0% 1/4 2/3 O 1/6 ㅇㅁarrow_forwardI need these two answeredarrow_forward
- In a dihybrid cross of two bi-allelic Mendelian genes, A (two alleles – completely dominant A and recessive a), and B (two alleles – completely dominant B and recessive b), such that the parental generation comprises of pure-bred homozygotes (i.e. AABB with aabb), what are the expected genotype and phenotype ratios in the F1 and F2, if the F1 cross is (a) an intercross and if the F1 cross is (b) a testcrossarrow_forwardb. What if a breeder were working with 7 different, independently segregating genes, as Mendel did? How many generations would it take him to have pure-breeding varieties, starting from an F1 hybrid that is heterozygous for all 7 genes? i. What is the probability that an individual in the F2 generation would be pure-breeding (i.e. is homozygous at all 7 loci)? [Hint: this is an “and” calculation since it must be homozygous at each of the 7 loci. ii. What is the probability that an individual in the F3 generation would be pure-breeding? iii. What is the probability that an individual in the F10 generation would be pure-breeding?arrow_forwardPlease calculate the Chi-square valuearrow_forward
- This problem examines possible biochemical explanations for variations of Mendel’s 9:3:3:1 ratio. Exceptwhere indicated, compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 have different colors, as do mixtures of these compounds. Aand B are enzymes that catalyze the indicated steps ofthe pathway. Alleles A and B specify functional enzymes A and B, respectively; these are completelydominant to alleles a and b, which do not specify anyof the corresponding enzyme. If functional enzyme ispresent, assume that the compound to the left of thearrow is converted completely to the compound to theright of the arrow. For each pathway, what phenotypicratios would you expect among the progeny of a dihybrid cross of the form Aa Bb × Aa Bb?a. Independent pathwaysCompound 4Compound 2Compound 3Compound 1Enz AEnz Bb.

I have a question, is it correct that individual I 1 's phenotype is Ff (heterozygous) whereas individual I 2 is ff (recessive homozygous)? That would mean that the ratio of Widow's Peak: Straight hair(no widow's peak) would be 1:1 ? So the chances of getting a Widow's Peak is 50% ? Is this correct? Am I doing it right.arrow_forwardMendel is growing flowers. Pure red flowers have a pair of R genes. Pure whiteflowers have a pair of w genes. Red is dominant to white.(a) Write the Punnett square with a pure red parent cross-fertilized with a pure white parent.(b) Write a second Punnett square of the offspring of the preceeding question cross-fertilizedwith a pure white flower.(c) What is the probability that a flower from the second fertilization is pure white? (Writethe probability as a fraction in reduced form.)arrow_forward
