Question
Rather than studying you are watching Maury. A couple comes on with a baby The father has brown eyes, his parents, grandparents, sister, and brothers all have brown eyes. The mother has blue eyes and the baby has blue eyes. The brown eye allele is dominant to blue eye allele. Using this information, answer the following question?
Based on the Punnett Square, what are the chances that these are the parents of the child?

- One form of red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A heterozygote woman has children with a normal man. List the gene or genes involved and define all allele symbols.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardBaldness is a recessive, X-linked trait. Mom has a full head of hair but she is a carrier for baldness and her husband has a full head of hair. What are the chances of they having a child who is bald? 0% (no chance) 50% 75% 100% (all of them will be) 25%arrow_forward
- A set of true breeding white cows were crossed with true breeding black cows to produce all brown colored offspring. If the F2 generation yielded 113 brown, 47 black and 50 white what type of inheritance would that reflect? Full credit will only be awarded when you show your work and explain your reasoning. The type of inheritance reflected is Codominant since 50% of the offsprings doesn’t reflect the color of either parent. A single new phenotype is presented when one allele of dominance and one allele for recessive trait is paired heterozygous. This shows that for a specified gene, there are three possible phenotypes that can arise from pairing, a phenotype for homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive. For heterozygous, the allele that is dominant, W, is codominant to the allele that is recessive, w, and when paired together neither is expressed but a blended, or mixed phenotype is expressed.arrow_forwardThe gene for eye color has several alleles. The allele for brown eyes is symbolized with B and the allele for blue eyes is symbolized with b. A father has the phenotype of blue eyes (recessive trait) and a mother has a phenotype of brown eyes (dominant trait.). If they have a child, what is the most likely genotype? Bb bb BB none of thesearrow_forwardIn pre-DNA fingerprint days, blood type was often used in paternity disputes to exclude possible fathers. If the man in question has type B blood, and the child has type A blood, and the mother has type AB blood, can the man be the father of the child? Group of answer choices Yes, but only if he is homozygous for the B allele No Yes, but only if he is heterozygous for the B allele Yes, but only if both of his parents were Type ABarrow_forward
- A tall, purple pea plant that is true-breeding is crossed with a short, white pea plant. What will the genotype(s) of their offspring be? Include a Punnett Square to justify your answer. BIU A, Paragraph + v ... Add a File Record Audio Record Videoarrow_forwardAn individual with blood type AB is certain they are adopted. Their claim would be supported if either of the parents had which blood type: AB, A, B, or O? Explain your answer. In your response, be sure to describe the degrees of dominance demonstrated by this trait (i.e., human ABO blood types). (2-4 sentences)arrow_forwardPlease read the scenario below, and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. In cats, the allele (B) produces a black coat color and the allele (b) produces a yellow coat color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell coat color. The alleles (B) and (b) are also sex-linked (i.e., they are carried on the X chromosome), and cats possess an XX-XY sex determination system, like humans. If a female cat with a tortoise shell coat mated with a male cat who had a yellow coat... What percentage of their offspring will have tortoise shell coats? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%arrow_forward
- Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder in humans which is controlled by a dominant gene. If one parent is heterozygous for the trait and the other has normal alleles, what are their chances of having an offspring with the disease? 100% 25% 75% 50%arrow_forwardHemophilia is an X-linked disorder that affects the body’s ability to create blood clots. The allele for normal blood clotting, XH, is dominant over the allele for hemophilia, Xh.An unaffected female that is not a carrier mated with an affected male. Which of the following rows identifies the possible genotypes of the offspring?arrow_forwardDescribe Mendel's one trait inheritance experiment examining flower color. Begin with what generation he started with and go from there. In your response, make sure to note generation names, ratios from those generations in terms of genotype and phenotype, and how did each generation come about i.e. what flowers were crossed to get the subsequent generation.arrow_forward
