The presence of a dimple on the cheek is governed by a dominant gene. A couple had already 4 children with dimpled cheeks. What would be the probability of having the next child as another dimpled if both parents are heterozygous for this character? Show a solution using Punnett Square Method.

What are the three offspring you're talking about?arrow_forwardIn peas, the dominant R allele produces peas that are round, whereas the recessive r allele produces peas that are wrinkled. The dominant Y allele produces yellow peas, and the recessive y allele produces green peas. If two heterozygous round, yellow pea plants (RrYy) were crossed (RrYy X RrYy), answer the following regarding the possible progeny. QUESTION: What proportion of the offspring will have the genotype RR?

If there are more than one pair, just pick one possibility. Be careful that the person is really a child. Specify generation and number.

- Suppose two parents, a father with the genotype AaBbccDd and a mother with the genotype aaBbCcDd, want to have children. Assume the loci are inherited independently of each other. Enter your answers as the most simplified fractions (e.g. 1/8 instead of 2/16). What proportion of the offspring are expected to have: The same genotype as the father? The same phenotype as the father? All dominant phenotypes? All recessive phenotypes?arrow_forwardIn a dihybrid cross (2 sets of alleles, independently assorted) each parent (heterozygous for both traits) can have 4 combinations of alleles in their gametes), so to calculate the odds for inheritance of particular genetic combinations, we must draw out 16 squares. In the case of our purple/yellow and starchy/sweet corn kernels, we can calculate the odds of the possible phenotypes. Purple & starchy: purple & sweet: yellow & starchy: yellow & sweet, can be calculated as O 9:2:2:3 9:3;3;1 O 5:4:4:3arrow_forwardFor the following problem: Identify the gametes for each parent, build a Punnett Square of the probability of offspring. Show the resulting genotype ratios and the resulting phenotype ratios. The submission file on Canvas will typically have a multiple-choice component or may be a fill-in-the-blank question related to genotype and/or phenotype outcomes. Be prepared to address all of these details in the questions. a )In Pansy flowers, a gene for follower color is “incompletely dominant”. All flowers resulting from the cross of a homozygous red (R) flowering plant with a homozygous white (r) flowering plant were pink. If a pink-flowering plant is bred with another pink-flowering plant, determine the probable genotype and phenotype ratios of the offspring. b) The ratio of genotypes is ________________ .c) The ratio of phenotypes (red:pink:white) is ______________.arrow_forward
