- Question 3 Which of the following is true regarding maternal effect gene inheritance? O A) The maternal parent decides the phenotype of female progeny only. O B) The paternal parent does not contribute an allele. () C) Complete dominance does not apply. D) The inheritance of genotype follows Mendelian principles. CS Scanned with CamScannerarrow_forward3) Some pea plant varieties show reduced growth (pygmy) and abnormal leaf formation (crinkly). Both characteristics are recessive to the normal sized plant and normal leaf. If a plant, heterozygour for both characteristics, is self pollinated and 320 seeds are subsequently collected and germinated, how many of the offspring would you expect to show... a) normal leaves and pygmy size b) crinkly leaves c) normal leaves and normal size d) normal size?arrow_forward11) Two syntenic genes, B and C, are located 25 cM apart in Drosophila.

- A white-eyed (X-linked recessive character) female fruit fly is mated to a red-eyed male. One of their progeny is a white-eyed female. What is the most likely set of chromosomes of this whiteeyed daughter? A) XXY B) XX C) XO D) XXX E) XYYarrow_forwardCystic 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 tellarrow_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_forward
