You observe a flock of seagulls with 25 members. After performing a genetic analysis, you discover that 12 are homozygous dominant for brown eyes (BB), 8 are heterozygous for brown eyes (Bb), and 5 are homozygous recessive for blue eyes (bb). Is the dominant or the recessive allele more prevalent? The dominant allele is more prevalent. The alleles are equally prevalent. The recessive allele is more prevalent.

Suppose we know both parents are heterozygous for a trait. Which would we predict if they have a lot of kids? O The kids may be homozygous for the dominant trait, homozygous for the recessive trait, or heterozygous. O All kids will be heterozygous too. All kids will be homozygous - half for the dominant trait, half for the recessive trait. O No predictions are really possible.
Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in miniature horses. Achondroplasia dwarf horses have normal sized bodies and heads, but noticeably smaller upper legs and ears. This form of dwarfism is an autosomal dominant trait. The pedigree shows the offspring of one horse without dwarfism, Individual 1, and one with dwarfism, Individual 2. The horses with achondroplasia are shorter. 1 2
f you have a recessive phenotype for a given trait, but neither of your parents has that phenotype, what can you say about the genotype of your parents for that trait? Both of your parents have to be hetorozygous One of your parents might be homozygous dominant but the other has to be hetorozygous Both of your parents must be homozygous dominant Both of your parents have to be homozygous recessive
The gene dimples is responsible presence or absence of dimples. People with a copy of the dominant allele (D) will have dimples will the homozygous recessive (aa) will not have dimples. If a heterozygous individual had offspring with a homozygous recessive individual: Blank 1) What % of the offspring would you expect to have no dimples? (0.5 marks) Blank 2) What % of the offspring would you expect to have dimples? (0.5 marks) Blank 3) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype DD? (0.5 marks) Blank 4) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype Dd? (0.5 marks) Blank 5) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype dd? (0.5 marks) Please write your answers as a percentage ie) 100%
Hummingbirds have brightly colored feathers on their throats that are used to attract mates. Let's say these feathers come in three different colors red (R), yellow (Y) and grey (g). The red and yellow alleles are codominant when present together, and both red and yellow are dominant when paired with the recessive grey allele. (Hint - this is the same as the ABO blood groups in humans and, is not sex-linked). please show your work. a. A grey female mates with a yellow throated male and she lays 4 eggs. All of the resulting chicks have yellow-colored throats. What is the genotype of the male that fathered the chicks? b. The next year one of the female chicks from the nest above grows up and mates with a male that has both red and yellow feathers. What will be the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring, and in what proportion? Assume 4 young.
In humans, there is a gene that influences the ability to smell the thioesters present in urine after asparagus is eaten. The ability to smell these compounds is an autosomal dominant trait. A is dominant and confers the ability to smell these thioesters a is recessive and does NOT confer the ability to smell these thioesters p = freq (A) = frequency of allele A in the population = number of A alleles/ total number of alleles %3D q = freq (a) = frequency of allele a in the population where p + q = 1 and, therefore, p? + 2pq + q? = 1 and %3D %D p? = freq (AA) = frequency of genotype AA = number of AA individuals/ total number of individuals %3D 2pq = freq (Aa) = frequency of genotype Aa q? = freq (aa) = frequency of genotype aa Phenotype Number of People Able to smell thioesters 378 Unable to smell thioesters 1323 Total 1701 1. Calculate p and q for this population. 2. Calculate p?, 2pq, and q? for this population.
For fruit flies, grey body color (allele G) is dominant over black body color (allele g). Two grey bodied fruit flies have offspring. All of their offspring are grey. What can you conclude about the genotypes of the parent flies? O You cannot conclude anything definitive about the parents genotypes. O They were both heterozygous. O They were both homozygous dominant. O They were both homozygous recessive. O At least one parent was heterozygous.
For fruit flies, grey body color (allele G) is dominant over black body color (allele g). Two grey bodied fruit flies have offspring. Some of their offspring are black. What can you conclude about the genotypes of the parent flies? O They are both heterozygous. O They are both homozygous dominant. O They are both homozygous recessive. O You cannot conclude anything definitive about the parents genotypes.
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
The comb shape of chickens is an example of an interesting inheritance pattern. Two genes, each with a dominant and recessive allele, determine comb phenotypes as follows: Comb Shape Description Genotype Single Comb homozygous recessive for both r and p rrpp Walnut comb both dominant alleles are present; R and P alleles are present R_P_ Pea comb the dominant allele P is present and the dominant allele R is absent rrP_ Rose comb the dominant allele R is present and the dominant allele P is absent R_pp If the P1 generation is a rose comb (RRpp) crossed with a pea comb (rrPP), which of the following represents the correct genotype and phenotype of the F1 offspring? Select one: a. Genotype Phenotype RRPP Single comb b. Genotype Phenotype RrPp walnut comb c. Genotype Phenotype RrPp pea comb d. Genotype Phenotype RRPP walnut comb

About 70% of American perceive a bitter taste from the chemical phenylthiocarbamide ( PTC ). The ability to taste this chemical resultsfrom a dominant allele(T) and not being able to taste PTC is the result of having two recessive allele(t).Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being dominant(A) abd the lack of pigment being recssive(a).A normally pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has a father who is an albinotaster.She marries a homozygous,normally pigmented man who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC.What are the genotypes of the possible children?
