Transcribed Image Text:Suppose there are four newly discoverecd genes, each with two allcles, in humans that all follow a simple Mendelian
inheritance pattern. Alleles are noted by a + or- for dominant and recessive, respectively. The genes and their phenotypes
are listed in the table.

This is an aspect of phenotypic plasticity, variability in the phenotype that can be triggered by the experiences of the organism. When referring to a sheep that has grown more wool in a cold climate than its parents living in a warm one, what term best describes this?

This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. Some individuals who are homozygous for this autosomal recessive gene experience only skin discoloration and joint pain, others experience heart disease in addition to the skin discoloration, still other individuals suffer also suffer from diabetes, severe heart disease, and liver damage. Name and define this genetic phenomenon and explain how it relates to this specific genetic situation described above.arrow_forward
- The 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?

This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A man who had hemophilia (an X-linked recessive genetic disorder), married a woman who had no family history of hemophilia whatsoever. The couple had consulted a genetic counselor when they first contemplated having children due to concerns that their future children might have hemophilia. Genetic testing of both future parents revealed that the husband did, in fact, possess the Hemophilia A allele but his wife was completely normal with respect to hemophilia. Much to their shock, their first child, a daughter, had a mild blood clotting disorder. Karyotyping was performed to determine whether this daughter had an…arrow_forwardCan you please not type the answer can you write it on a paperarrow_forwardDescribe Mendel's one trait inheritance experiment examining flower color.
