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_forwardThe sound produced by the Red Wolf is due to the genotype present at a single genetic locus with multiple alleles. The dominance hierarchy for this locus is shown below: Howling (H) > Growling (G) > Barking (B) > Yapping (Y) > Whimpering (W) > Mute (M) Mr. Wolf is a howling wolf. Mrs. Wolf is a yapping wolf. They have four cubs: 2 howlers and 2 barkers. Determine the genotypes of Mr. and Mrs. Wolf. If more than one answer could be correct, select "Cannot be determined". Mr. Wolf's genotype HH HG Mrs. Wolf's genotype HB HY HW HM Cannot be determinedarrow_forwardThe white Leghorn breed of chickens is homozygous for the dominant allele C, which produces colored feathers. However, this breed is also homozygous for the dominant allele I of an independently assorting gene that inhibits coloration of the feathers. Consequently, Leghorn chickens have white feathers. The white Wyandotte breed of chickens has neither the allele for color nor the inhibitor of color; it is therefore genotypically cc ii. What are the F2 phenotypes and proportions expected from intercrossing the progeny of a white Leghorn hen and a white Wyandotte rooster?arrow_forward
- Another trait you are studying in monster genetics is fur texture. A mommy monster (P1) who is homozygous for spiky fur and a daddy monster (P1) who is homozygous for feathery fur have a litter of monsters (F1). All of the F1 monsters have feathery fur. Using the letter, F, for your alleles, determine the following: 1. What is the genotype of the mommy monster? 2. What is the genotype of the daddy monster? 3. What are the genotypes of all of the F1 generation? 4. If two of the F1 offspring are crossed, what is the phenotypic ratio of the result? (A ratio is written as: X:X) 5. What are the genotypes (and how many of each) that result from the cross described in question 4 above?arrow_forwardAs seen in the photo, Labradors come in three colors-- black, brown and yellow. What is the genetic basis for these different coat colors? One gene produces melanin, a pigment which is deposited in the dog's fur and makes the color dark. With this gene, allele B (black) is dominant to allele b. Only in the case of a recessive homozygote (bb) will the dog's phenotype be brown. The regulatory gene is separate from the melanin gene but it acts as a switch, either turning the melanin gene on or turning it off. Allele E is dominant and allows for the melanin to be deposited in the dog's fur ("on" switch), but if the switch gene is a recessive homozygote, the melanin is blocked ("off" switch) and a yellow dog is the result! Review the information on Labrador retrievers above. What are the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation offspring of two dihybrids?

- Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)arrow_forwardIn the red backed vole (a small mouse-like mammal) there are two traits under investigation. The first trait is a distinct tuft of long hairs at the tip of the tail with a tufted tail being recessive to non-tufted tail. The letter T is used to represent the tail tuft gene. The second trait is a patch of red fur on the head which is known to be recessive to the more common lack of a red patch. The letter R is used to represent this trait. A female to be used in the cross was drawn from a pure breeding line that consistently has both the red patch on the head and a tufted tail. The female is to be crossed with a male from a highly variable wild population. The male used had no red head patch and a normal (untufted) tail. The results were as follows: 7 red head patch with tail tuft, 8 no red head patch with tail tuft, 8 red head patch without tail tuft, 8 no red head patch without tail tuft. What would the results be if the male was crossed with a female that was known to be…arrow_forwardIn the red backed vole (a small mouse-like mammal) there are two traits under investigation.

- The following genetic map describes three hypothetical human autosomal genes, each of which exhibits two alleles. Two-factor map distances are shown. A = Artistic (dominant) a = Inartistic (recessive) M = Moral (dominant) m = Immoral (recessive) G = Generous (dominant) g = Greedy (recessive) Assume that these traits exhibit simple Mendelian dominance/recessiveness. The coefficient of coincidence for this map is 0.4. An artistic, moral, generous heterozygous female of genotype AMG/amg marries an inartistic, immoral, greedy homozygous male of genotype amg/amg. What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, immoral and greedy? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, moral and generous? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be artistic, immoral and generous?arrow_forwardIn giraffes, long neck is dominant to short neck. Long neck is denoted by the dominant allele, N, while short neck is denoted by a recessive allele, n. Write the genotype and phenotype for the following organisms: homozygous dominant organism, homozygous recessive organism, and heterozygous organism.arrow_forwardIn guinea pigs, black fur is dominant over brown fur, and short hair is dominant over long hair. These traits follow Mendelian inheritance. Suppose a homozygous short black hair is mated with a homozygous long brown haired rabbit, determine the phenotypic ratio of the following: F1 generation; F2 generation; F1 mated with a short brown haired rabbit.
