Concept explainers
Suppose the mating had occurred between homozygous recessive male for a disease and a normal female known to be heterozygous. What would the probabilities be for the following outcomes? 3 offspring in the following order: normal, with disease, normal
Use the factorial equation
n!/x!(n-y)! * (p)x (q)n-x
n = number of events (offspring)
x = number of normal / dominant offspring
n-y =total - number of abnormal / recessive offspring
p = probability of producing a normal/dom
q = probability of producing an abnormal/rec
Mating between the two individuals produces offspring that are show genetic similarity with their parents. This similarity is due to the fact that parents equally contribute to the production of offspring in from of gametes that fuse to form a zygote. These similarities are in the form of characters or traits that are controlled by genes present on chromosomes. In diploid organisms, each chromosome has a copy which means genes have two alternative forms called alleles. When these forms are same the condition is said to be homozygous while the heterozygous term is used when the one form is different from another form. These alleles can be dominant or recessive based on their expression.

- Match the type of genetic dominance with the appropriate term: More than two type of alleles for a given trait Both alleles are expressed equally 1. Complete dominance 2. Incomplete dominance Phenotype of dominant homozygote and heterozygote are same 3. Codominance 4. Multiple Alleles Heterozygotes have intermediate (hybrid) between the two homozygotesarrow_forwardConsider the following three point trihybrid testcross ibvolving traits in dragons.

(A homozygote for two separate genes may be homozygous dominant for both genes, or homozygous recessive for both genes, or homozygous dominant for one gene and homozygous recessive for the other gene.)

- A fish with red eyes and yellow scales is crossed to a pure-breeding fish with brown eyes and orange scales, resulting in offspring having red eyes and yellow scales (50%) or brown eyes and yellow scales (50%). You cross the red eye/yellow scale offspring together, and the resulting offspring are as follows. How are these traits likely inherited Number of offspring 676-yellow/red 224-red/orange 224-brown/yellow 76-brown/orangearrow_forwardFor n = number of genes segregating, how many different phenotypes and genotypes are observed in the F2 generation? Assume complete dominance at each gene. 2" phenotypes and 3" genotypes 3" phenotypes and 2" genotypes n2 phenotypes and n° genotypes n3 phenotypes and n2 genotypesarrow_forwardRound (R) and yellow (Y) are dominant over wrinkled (r) and green (y) peas. Given the case that parent plant 1 is homozygous for the round pea trait and heterozygous for the yellow trait, and parent plant 2 is heterozygous for the round trait and is green, answer the following questions 1. The genotype for parent plant 1 is and the genotype for parent plant 2 is 2. The percentage of offspring with green peas is 3. The percentage of offspring with wrinkled peas is % 4. The offspring would most likely show the phenotypes of shaped peas and coloured peas.arrow_forward
