The creature should have at least 5 out of 6 genetic traits from the following list. You are free to create whatever traits you like (such as hair color, size, shape, or other features) • 2 single-allele traits • 1 codominant trait (or incomplete dominance) • 1 multiple allele trait • 1 polygenic trait • 1 sex linked trait • 1 chromosomal aberration

Please 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 gametes would be produced by the female (i.e., mother) cat?     a. XBXb   b. XB and Xb   c. B and b   d. Xb and Y   e. None of the above

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait. A three-generation pedigree is shown below for a family that carries the mutant allele for cystic fibrosis. Note that carriers are not colored in to allow you to figure out their genotypes.      Normal allele =  F      CF mutant allele =  f        What is the genotype of individual #13? A) ff B) FF C) Ff  D) it is impossible to tell

If we are interested in studying known regions of the genome associated with a particular phenotype, we should refer to a:   Question 16 options:   Physical map   Linkage map   Genetic linkage   Genetic markers   Quantitative trait locus (QTL) map
