When you are visiting the local pet store you start talking to them about their Ceti alpha-5 eel colony. They tell you that some eels have red antennas, some have white antennas, and some have pink antennae. Whenever you cross an eel with red antennae to an eel with white antennae you only recover eels with pink antennae. If you assume antennae color is under the control of one gene and you cross two eels with pink antennae what would you predict would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny?

You are studying 5 genes: a, b, c, d, and e. In an attempt to map them, you perform a series of two-point crosses with the results listed below. Select the appropriate gene order based on the results of your experiment. a-b = 20 map units; a-c = 16 map units; a-d = 12 map unit; b-d = 8 map units; b-e = 4 map units; c-d = 28 map units; c-e = 40 map units; d-e = 12 map units. Group of answer choices 1)e-b-a-c-d 2)e-b-d-a-c 3)a-c-e-b-d 4)a-b-c-d-e
Genes A and B are 6 map units apart, and A and C are 4 map units apart. Which gene is in the middle if B and C are 10 map units apart? Which is in the middle if B and C are 2 map units apart?
Imagine that you are a new breeder for caique parrots. You can sell normal green feather birds for $500 a bird. The mutation for blue feathers is rare and birds with this color can sell for $3000 a bird. Your goal is to produce as many blue feather offspring as you can, but you don't have the budget to buy blue feather birds as parents. Question: What genotype should you purchase for both parent blrds to get the best chance of getting blue feather offspring? Create and use your Punnett square results as evidence to support your answer. You will need to make multiple Punnett Squares to see which parent genotypes makes the most blue feathered offspring. Keep in mind that Green fealhers (G) is dominant over blue feathers (g), so birds with blue feathers have the genotype gg. Some Punnett squares are provided for you to determine the possible crosses, but remember yoU cannot afford a blue feathered bird, so neither of your parent birds can have the genotype gg. Complete a Punnett Square…
You are a biologist studying the local butterfly population. You've discovered 4 white (albino) butterflies. You mated each one with a wildtype butterfly and kept the lines separately. After several generations of back crosses, you've managed to create 4 lines of white butterflies. How can you tell if they represent mutations in the same gene or different genes? What crosses would you do? What results would you expect? (using complementation analysis).
In aliens, the genes A, B, C, D and E are dominant to their respective alleles a, b, c, d and e: A = one eye a = two eyes B = pointed ears b = round ears C = red skin c = green skin D = two antennae d = three antennae E = square head e = triangular head An alien with genotype AA bb Cc dd Ee marries an alien with genotype Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee. If the genes segregate independently, what is the probability that they will have a child with one eye, pointed ears, red skin, three antennae and a triangular head? A. 9/512 B. 9/128 C. 27/1024 D. 3/64
Sharks with a floppy dorsal fin are heterozygous at the locus that controls this trail. When two sharks with floppy fins are crossed, 2/3 of the offspring have a floppy fin, and 1/3 of the offspring have a stiff fin. What is the most likely explanation for these observations? Select one: OThe allele that causes the floppy fin phenotype is a recessive lethal allele O The allele that causes the floppy fin phenotype is codominant to the allele causing stiff fin. O The allele that causes the floppy fin phenotype is a dominant lethal allele O The allele that causes the floppy fin phenotype is incompletely dominant to the allele causing stiff fin. O The allele that causes the floppy fin phenotype is an imprinted allele
On a summer trip to the Galapagos you collect two finch species, Geospiza fortis and G. pauper and bring them back home. For fun you collect their DNA and identify 4 genes responsible for head shape (H-round h- elongated), Beak size (B- long, b- short), Feather color (F- black, f- brown) and Leg length (L- Long, I- short). These are the genotypes that you find: Geospiza fortis Hh Bb ff LL Geospiza pauper HH Bb Ff II If two G. pauper mate, what phenotypic ratios would you expect for the Feather color? O % black, 4 brown all brown O ½ black, ½ brown all black
A mutant allele in persons with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) causes death due to a lack of liver receptors for LDL. Susceptible persons have half the normal number of receptors, while other individuals have the normal number of receptors. In a phenotypically normal couple, the man had a female 1 cousin (on his father’s side) who died from FH; the woman had a maternal uncle with FH. a. What is the probability that neither of the couple might be susceptible. b. What is the probability that one of them might be susceptible, but the other is not. c. What is the probability that they will have an FH child if a test discloses that both of them are susceptible.

Spoink is a Pokemon character with a spring tail. It must bounce continuously or it will die. Imagine that the spring in the tail is controlled by a single gene with two alleles T and t. Individuals with the genotype TT have very stiff tails that take a lot of energy to bounce, Tt have just the right amount of spring, and those with tt tails have very floppy tails that deform after long periods of bouncing, making it very difficult to continue bouncing. The genotype frequency in this population is: TT=25% Tt=70% tt=5% Part A: The frequency of the t allele in the population is ___%. The expected frequency of the Tt genotype in the population is ___%. Part B: Is the population of Spoink in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? A. Yes B. No Rationale? Part C: What type of selection, if at all, might be operating on Spoink tails springy-ness? A. Stabilizing Selection B. Balancing Selection C. Directional Selection D. Disruptive Selection E. No selection is occurring; population is in…

A couple enters your genetic counseling clinic for some family planning advice. The woman’s father was color blind, but her own vision is normal. The man has no family history of color blindness. Neither the man nor woman have any known history of hemophilia, but their first child (a boy) has hemophilia. They ask you to calculate the chance that their nextchild will be affected by one or both conditions. You remember from your genetics training that these are both X-linked recessive conditions and that they are closely linked: in fact, their genetic loci are separated by only 10cM! During the interview with this couple, you draw the following pedigree to represent their information. Given what you know, determine for this couple what chance they have of each of the following (in the table).
