Question
The gene S determines the stripe color of a kind of snake. It has two alleles which are codominant with each other: one allele (S1) causes red stripes, and the other (S2) causes white stripes. What do you predict a heterozygous (S1S2) snake will look like?
Select one:
a.
Assortment of pink, red, and white stripes
b.
All pink stripes
c.
No stripes
d.
Both red and white stripes

- The weight of a fruit in a certain variety of squash is varies. When a plant that produces 6-lb fruits is crossed with a plant that produces 2-lb fruits, all offspring produce fruits that weigh 4 lbs each. In the F2 offspring, the variation in weight varies by 0.5 lbs from each. a. How many genes are involved? b.

In addition, you have determined that red eyes are a recessive trait that follow Mendelian patterns of inheritance. The dominant trait results in dark brown eye color. You observe a red eyed female squirrel with two offspring: one with red eyes and the other with dark brown eyes. What is the genotype of the father? A. Homozygous dominant B. Homozygous recessive C. None of the above D. Heterozygousarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the Law of Independent Assortment? a. A large Punnett square can be used to predict the outcome of a parental cross involving two traits. b. Non-allelic genes do not affect each other if they are located on separate chromosomes. c. Sometimes all alleles lack dominance, which leads to a blending of traits. d. The dominant allele is represented with an uppercase letter and the recessive allele is represented with a lowercase letter.arrow_forward

- Gregor Mendel developed an understanding of heredity through his experiments with pea plants. The diagram below shows a cell with 2 pairs of homologous chromosomes and genotype of AaBb. a. Identify all the possible allele combinations that could be formed if this cell undergoes meiosis. b. Identify one of Mendel's laws that is illustrated when you write out these allele combinations. EXPLAIN this law.arrow_forwardHuman hair color ranges from black to many shades of brown to blonde. What can you correctly conclude from this information? A Human hair color is controlled by a single gene. B Human hair color is controlled by environmental factors rather than genes. C Human hair color is controlled by more than one gene.

B). To say that a trait exhibits “high heritability” is to say that a. a given set of genes has no influence on a trait. b. there is no difference in genotype between members of the population at the loci in question. c. in a given environment and population, genetic differences have a high degree of influence on the trait compared to environmental influences. d. there is no difference in character between two individuals with the same genotype in question.

- In swallowtail butterflies, let's pretend that the R gene codes for coloring on the forewing. The R1 allele, which codes for red color, is dominant to the R2 allele, which codes for white color. If R1 is a recessive lethal allele, what phenotypic ratio would you expect when crossing two swallowtails with red forewings? 1 red : 2 white 1 red : 3 white 3 red : 1 white there is not enough information given to answer this question 1 red : 1 white 2 red : 1 whitearrow_forwardSuppose a species of tulip has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. The CR allele produces red tulips, the CP allele produces purple tulips, and the C" allele produces white tulips. CR is dominant over CP and Cw, and CP is dominant over Cu .
