Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To sketch: A model that represents the X chromosomal inactivation (XCI) in a group of embryonic cells post two cell division.
Introduction: X chromosome inactivation is the process that leads to the X chromosome to become highly compacted, silencing the genes that it carries. The compacted chromosome is called a Barr body. XCI in mammals helps in the dosage compensation of X-linked genes in male and female mammals.

Task # 4 Genotypes and Phenotypes: The Mc1r gene is located on chromosome #16
in mice. Mice are diploid so every somatic cell has two copies of the Mc1r gene. Since
there are two Mc1r alleles there are three possible genotypes: MM, Mm and mm.
M-dark pigment m=less pigment
Parental generation: an inland mouse (MM) mates with a beach mouse (mm)
A. What is the genotype of the F1 offspring?
B. If this trait exhibits simple (Mendelian) dominance, circle the phenotype expected for
the F1 fur color: dark pigment / medium pigment / less pigment
Observed phenotype: F1 actually have medium pigment. Initially this looks like blending,
but it is not. M and m are discrete units. This observation does not disprove Mendel's
First Law which holds true for the genotypes. Individuals with genotype Mm produce
more pigment than individuals with genotype mm and less than individuals with
genotype MM.

What are the expected phenotypic results if a heterozygous female is crossed with a white-eyed male? In cats, S = short hair; s = long hair; XC = black coat; Xc = yellow coat; XCXc = tortoiseshell (calico) coat. If a long-haired yellow male is crossed with a tortoiseshell female homozygous for short hair, what are the expected phenotypic results?arrow_forwardQuestion: Explain how epigenetic marks and genomic imprinting are related.

How might this happen? What could be the consequences of such a mitotic error?arrow_forwardPLEASE explain how to do this question step by tspe i am very confused! thank you! You have three independent mutant alleles in the Drosophila gene no legs (nlg): nlg1, nlg2, and nlg3. You assay the phenotype of Drosophila, which is an insect, that are heterozygous for the three allele (heterozygous for a wild-type and a mutant allele), and that are homozygous for the three alleles. Allele nlg1 nlg2 nlg3 heterozygous Wild-type Four pairs of legs Wild-type homozygous Stumpy legs Five pairs of legs No legs nlg1 is a ___X___ allele, nlg2 is a ___Y___ allele, and nlg3 is a ___Z___ allele. X Y Z A Gain of function Null Hypomorphic B Hypomorphic Gain of function Null C Null Gain of function Hypomorphic D Null Hypomorphic Gain of function E Hypomorphic Null Gain of function Referencing the table above, select the correct answer: 1 : A 2 : B 3 : C 4 : D 5 : E Correct answer is Barrow_forwardActivity 9GENES SEGREGATION BY BEAN-O TYPE Materials: Colored beans to represent the gene for a certain trait of garden pea.

Assign which color of beans will represent dominant and recessive genes of a specific trait of garden pea 2. Label the paper container as First Parent P1, male and other P1 female 3.

- Concept test: Please discuss thoroughly. The easily observed external structures in insects, such as different pairs of legs, antennae, and wings form from imaginal discs. a.) How is the identity of the different Drosophila imaginal discs established in the embryo—for example, how is it determined whether a disc will form a wing, a leg, or some other structure? b.) Dominant mutants in the gene Antennapedia result in fore legs forming in the location where antennae are expected. How does this mutant phenotype illustrate your response to Part a?arrow_forwardBiology = genetics please do Challenge problem 3 Now, figure out the complementation groups. This shows how many genes are involved in this pathway. Some of the mutant classes in the previous problem must contain more than one complementation group (gene) For example class 2 is defined by mutants 1,3,4,6, and 7. These mutants may, or may not, all be in the same gene. Complementation testing will help you know if they are, or are not, in the same gene. So there are actually additional steps between some of the letters. For example, maybe instead of XàY, it is really X->F->G->Y.arrow_forwardvivo V20 male or female. Remember that since most sex-linked traits are recessive, the person wno shows the trait can have no X's with big superscripted letters. So, y a male carries the trait, he must also show the trait.

- Please type your answer 1A. What is the molecular basis for genomic imprinting? B. How is the process of X-chromosome inactivation similar to genomic imprinting. C. How is the process of X-chromosome inactivation different from genomic imprinting. D. In mice, the Igf2 gene inherited from the mother is never expressed in her offspring? Explain. E. What genes are deleted in a female born with Angelman syndrome. Which parent transmitted the deletion to her?arrow_forwardACTIVITY 5: Sex-linked inheritance In many animals, the sex of an individual is determined by which sex chromosomes (X or Y) are inherited. In mammals (and the fruit fly Drosophila), females have 2 X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y. The X and Y are an unusual pair of homologous chromosomes. The X is large and contains thousands of genes, while the Y is small and contains few genes. Most genes on the X are not found on the Y, so males possess only one copy of each X-linked gene and females have 2 copies. This means that X-linked recessive traits are expressed more often in males. Eye color is a sex-linked trait in Drosophila. The allele for red eyes is dominant to the allele for white eyes. Because this gene is on the X chromosome, the alleles are written as XR and Xr. A. Do a Punnett square for a cross between a homozygous red-eyed female (XR XR ) and a white-eyed male (Xr Y). What would be the genotypes of the female…arrow_forwardPRACTICE EXERCISES 2: 1. For instance, in cows, red (R) and white (W) are two possible hair colors. However, when a red cow and a white cow mate, instead of one color being dominant over the other, BOTH are expressed, in a color called roan (red-and-white). Fill out the genotypes below: Homozygous red: Homozygous white: Roan: Show the Punnett Square for a cross between two roan cows: Probability of roan offspring: Probability of red offspring: Probability of white offspring: % 2 If R is the allele for red and W is the allele for white in a flower, and this is codominance, show what happens if a red flower is crossed with a white flower.
