Week 8- Heredity Student Worksheet 1. Fundamentals of Heredity Write the term that matches each phrase: a. Traits passed from parents to progeny b. Part of DNA coding for a specific protein c. Contain homologous genes d. Alternate forms of a gene e. Alleles of a gene pair are identical f. Alleles of a gene pair are different g. Observable form of a trait h. Genetic composition determining a trait i. Allele expressed in heterozygote j. Allele not expressed in heterozygote 2 Monohybrid Crosses with Dominance genotypes. walled by one gene with two alleles: purple (R) and yellow (r).

Having malformed hands with shortened fingers is a dominant trait controlled by a single gene; people who are homozygous for the recessive allele have normal hands and fingers. Having woolly hair is a dominant trait controlled by a different gene; homozygous recessive individuals have normal, nonwoolly hair. Suppose a woman with normal hands and nonwoolly hair marries a man who has malformed hands and woolly hair. Their first child has normal hands and nonwoolly hair. What are the genotypes of the mother, the father, and the child? If this couple has a second child, what is the probability that it will have normal hands and woolly hair?

In chickens, feathered legs are produced by a dominant allele F. Another allele f of the same gene produces featherless legs. The dominant allele P of a gene at a different locus produces pea combs; a recessive allele p of this gene causes single combs. A breeder makes the following crosses with birds 1, 2, 3, and 4; all parents have both feathered legs and pea combs: Cross Offspring 12 All feathered, pea comb 13 3/4 feathered; 1/4 featherless, all pea comb 14 9/16 feathered, pea comb; 3/16 featherless, pea comb 3/16 feathered, single comb; 1/16 featherless, single comb What are the genotypes of the four birds?

The observable traits expressed by an organism are described as its. phenotype genotype alleles zygote

Solve for the genetic structure of a population with 12 homozygous recessive individuals (yy), 8 homozygous dominant individuals (YY), and 4 heterozygous individuals (Yy).

The good genes hypothesis is a theory that explains what? why more fit individuals are more likely to have more offspring why alleles that confer beneficial traits or behaviors are selected for by natural selection why some deleterious mutations are maintained in the population why individuals of one sex develop impressive ornamental traits

If black and white true-breeding mice are mated and the result is all gray offspring, what inheritance pattern would this be indicative of? dominance codominance multiple alleles incomplete dominance

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IAlB, and IAalleles. The allele encodes the A blood group antigen, lBencodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: multiple alleles and incomplete dominance codominance and incomplete dominance incomplete dominance only multiple alleles and codominance

Which of the following includes all of the others? a. homeotic genes b. master genes c. SRY gene d. PAX6

Choose the statement that is incorrect. a. A son can inherit a recessive allele on an X chromosome from either parent. b. An individual may inherit three or more of each type of chromosome characteristic or the species, a condition called polyploidy. c. A female child inherits one X chromosome from her mother and one from her father. d. Pedigree analysis can be used to determine a future childs chance of being born with achcondroplasia.
