Question
Wooly, curly hair is due to a rare dominant allele (H) and its recessive allele (h) produces straight hair. Another gene has 2 alleles: (B) dark hair is dominant over (b) blonde. A woman with wooly, blonde hair marries a man with straight, dark hair. Their daughter has straight, blonde hair. What

- Parents often want to know what is genetically possible for their children. If two parents are carriers for a recessive lethal trait, what are the odds that their child is also a carrier? Many times there is interest in tracking multiple traits at once (not just 1 or 2). The same probability rules apply here, you just multiple all the odds together at once. Imagine two parents. They are both carriers for red hair, one person is blood type AB, the other is type O. They want to know the odds of a daughter with red hair and type B blood. Please do no not do a giant Punnett square! Use probability or individual squares. a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b. What are the odds of each trait (daughter, red hair, type B)arrow_forwardIncomplete Dominance and Codominance So far, we have been studying the inheritance of genes that show complete dominance. In other words, one allele is completely dominant over another. In some cases, such as incomplete dominance and codominance, one allele is not completely dominant over another or the alleles affect the phenotype equally. Examples of incomplete dominance include feather color in parrots (C*C* = blue, C'C = yellow, C*Cf = green) and hair texture in humans CC = curly; C'C' = straight; CC' = wavy Practice Problem 3: За. If a straight-haired man marries a curly haired woman, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If a parrot with yellow feathers is crossed with a parrot with green feathers, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? 3b.arrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for a long second toe (L) is dominant. The allele for short second toe (I) is recessive. A woman who is homozygous for the long toe trait marries a man who has a short second toe. What is the probability that this couple's child will have short second toes? Use a pencil and piece of paper to draw the Punnett square for this cross to help you determine the correct answer. 100% O 0% O 50% O 25% 4 Previous Nextarrow_forward
- A1) The allele for widows peak (H) is dominant for the allele for no widows peak (h). At a different gene locus, the allele for hitchhikers thumb (D) is dominant to the allele for non-hitchhikers thumb (d). A man is heterozygoous for the traits and marries a woman who has no widows peak and is heterozygous for hitchhikers thumb. What fraction of this couples children should have a widow's peak and a hitchhiker's thumb? 3/8 1/4 1/2 3/4 0 A2)The allele for widows peak (H) is dominant for the allele for no widows peak (h). At a different gene locus, the allele for hitchhikers thumb (D) is dominant to the allele for non-hitchhikers thumb (d). A man is heterozygoous for the traits and marries a woman who has no widows peak and has no hitchhikers thumb. What fraction of this couple's children should have no widow's peak and a hitchhiker's thumb? 3/8 0 1/4 1/2 1/8arrow_forwardRed-green colorblindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern in humans. A colorblind man and a woman with normal vision have four children, and one of them is a colorblind male. Does the mother have to be a carrier in this case? (Yes or No) What is the probability of the next child in this family being both colorblind and male? No, 25% Yes, 25% No, 50% Yes, 50%arrow_forwardBrown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. This is NOT a sex linked trait. Cross a brown eyed Color blind male (whose mother had blue eyes) with a normal blue eyed female (whose father was colorblind)arrow_forward
- A sex-influenced trait in humans is one that affects the length of the index finger. A "short" allele is dominant in males and recessive in females. Heterozygous males have an index finger that is significantly shorter than the ring finger. By comparison, the "long" allele is dominant in females and recessive in males. The gene affecting index finger length is located on an autosome. A woman with short index fingers has children with a man who has long index fingers. What are the following probabilities? (Assume that 50% of the offspring are male and 50% are female.) A. A daughter with long index fingers B. A daughter with short index fingers C. A son with sort index fingersarrow_forwardIn human beings, the gene for red‑green colorblindness (r) is sex‑linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal‑visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. What is the probability that the first child born to the couple will either be a freckled, colorblind boy or a non‑freckled, normal visioned girl or a non-freckled, normal visioned boy? What is the probability that the first four children born to the couple will be freckled and normal visioned girls?arrow_forwardColor blindness occurs in about 8% of North American men of European descent, but only about 4% of North American men of African descent. Assuming X-linked recessive inheritance for color blindness, what frequencies of color blindness would you expect in each of these populations?arrow_forward
- The Hulk wants to have children with Black Widow. However, the Hulk is worried that his super genes will pass down to their child. Black Widow is a normal human with a genotype (Nn) and The Hulk has a mutated genotype of (nn). The green gene is recessive. Will their child have super powers?arrow_forwardColorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. The an has normal vision and the woman is colorblind. What is the probability that their daughters will be colorblind? 75%, 25%, 100%, 0%, or 50%?arrow_forward
