- The diagrams represent two human somatic cells, one from a female and one from a male, and the letters in the cells represent alleles for two different traits. Male Female B = Brown hair (dominant) b = Blond hair (recessive) E = Brown eyes (dominant) e = Blue eyes (recessive) According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, what are the allele combinations expected in each of the sperm cells and what combinations are expected in each of the eggs produced by these cells during meiosis? One sperm fertilized one egg, and the resulting child has blond hair and brown eyes. How is this possible given the parents' genotypes?arrow_forwardThe following pedigree shows the inheritance of Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic disorder that causes neurodegeneration. Since signs and symptoms usually do not appear until adulthood, many who are carriers may not realize their risk of passing on the disease-causing allele. The following pedigree represents a family in which some people are affected by Huntington’s disease. Using just the information on this pedigree, is Huntington’s disease caused by a dominant allele or recessive alleles? What are the genotypes of the grandparents (I-1 and I-2)? What are the genotypes of the parents (II-6 and II-7)? If the parents above have another child, what is the chance that they will be affected by the Hungtington’s disease allele? What are the genotypes of the unaffected children (III-8, 9, 10)? What is the chance that the unaffected children above will pass on a Huntington’s disease allele to their children? What is the genotype of the affected child (III-11)? What is the chance…arrow_forwardA diploid cell undergoes meiosis to form the four gametes shown below.

- c) Using the key below, draw a Punnett square for the cross. Explain the phenotype and genotype ratios for potential offspring. Parents in both cases are homozygous for each color. Explain your choice for the phenotype in each case (this is up to you, but it should make sense, or be logical, based on the colors provided and the type of dominance). Gene for Color C Allele for red color C* Allele for blue color C d) Now, what if you crossed the offspring (F,'s). What are the genotype and phenotype ratios? Draw out using a Punnett Square for each and explain the ratios. Remember that these are incomplete dominance and codominance.arrow_forwardA couple is going to have a baby. They are concerned about sickle cell anemia, which results from having the homozygous recessive combination of the sickle cell gene ("s"), which produces abnormal hemoglobin. Having at least one normal version of the gene ("S") results in normal hemoglobin. The woman is heterozygous, and so is the man. What alleles does mom have? What alleles does dad have?arrow_forwardImagine a human trait that is inherited via genetic maternal effect and found on the X chromosome (x-linked recessive). If both Jill and her paternal grandmother display the phenotype, Jill’s father does not, and Jill’s sons have the phenotype, what is the most likely genotype of: (Use the symbol Xa to indicate the allele leading to this trait) a.

- The shape of a heliodor is an X-linked trait. Male heliodors inherit two X chromosomes, while the females inherit an X and a Y chromosome. The recessive allele codes for the common bell-shape while the dominant phenotype is a round shape . Hudson is a round male and has offspring with Heidi, a bell-shaped female. They already have one daughter, Hannah, who is shaped like her mother. The reason for your answer above is: a.Females heliodors inherit two X chromosomes, so it is less likely they would only inherit two recessive alleles for being bell-shaped. b.Males heliodors inherit two X chromosomes, so it is less likely they would only inherit two recessive alleles for being bell-shaped. c.Males only need to inherit one recessive allele to be bell-shaped. d.Being male or female has no impact on the shape of a heliodorarrow_forwardThe gene for black hair (B) is dominant over the recessive gene for blond hair (b). If the father is heterozygous for black hair (Bb) and the mother has blond hair (bb), what is the likelihood that their child will have blond hair? Question options: 50% 100% 25% 75%arrow_forwardRed-green colour blindness is a sex-linked trait. Red-green colour blindness (Xrg) is the inability to distinguish between red and green colours. The Xrg allele is recessive to the normal X-linked allele. A normal woman has a father who has red-green colour blindness. She had a child with a man who does not have red-green colour blindness. What is the probability they will have a son with red-green colour blindness? Select one: a. 0 b. 0.13 c. 0.25 d. 0.50arrow_forward
- The allele for color-blindness is carried on the X chromosome. Making color blindness (a recessive trait) an X - linked trait. A colorblind make and a carrier female for color blindness. (But is not colorblind herself) have a child. Show your work! A) what is the % chance that their son will be color blind? B) what is the % chance that their daughter will be color blind?arrow_forwardUse the following parents to create a Punnet Square and answer the question.
