Chapter 14, Problem 1TYU
Summary Introduction
To Identify: The type of letters used to represent dominant, recessive, and other genotypes of traits in genetics.
Introduction: Genetics is the study of genes and heredity and how these genes pass from one generation to the next generation. Gene can be defined as the segment of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that is expressed to yield a functional product which may be either RNA (ribonucleic acid) or polypeptide. Alleles are alternative forms of genes. It consists of different versions of a particular character.

Produce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below (NOTE: It is the same story as in question 9, above so you may use the square that you produced in answer to question 9 to answer this question, you do not need to draw it twice). use it to fill in the blanks in the answer text below. NOTE: please type in whole numbers only, no symbols, no letters, no spaces.
There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC
The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the…
