Concept explainers
An organism having the genotype AaBbCcDdEe is self-fertilized. Assuming the five genes assort independently, determine the following proportions:
a. gametes that are expected to carry only dominant alleles
b. progeny that are expected to have a genotype identical to that of the parent
c. progeny that are expected to have a
d. gametes that are expected to be ABcde e. progeny that are expected to have the genotype AabbCcDdE–

- . a. A mouse cross A/a ⋅ B/b × a/a ⋅ b/b is made, and inthe progeny there are25% A/a ⋅ B/b, 25% a/a ⋅ b/b,25% A/a ⋅ b/b, 25% a/a ⋅ B/bExplain these proportions with the aid of simplifiedmeiosis diagrams.b. A mouse cross C/c ⋅ D/d × c/c ⋅ d/d is made, and inthe progeny there are45% C/c ⋅ d/d, 45% c/c ⋅ D/d,5% c/c ⋅ d/d, 5% C/c ⋅ D/dExplain these proportions with the aid of simplifiedmeiosis diagrams.arrow_forwardFor the cross: PpAa x PpAa P = purple flowers (Dominant) p = white flowers A = axial flowers (Dominant) a = terminal flowers a. What are the possible gamete classes that can form from these parents? b. What are the expected offspring genotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? c. What are the expected offspring phenotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? 2. Predict ratios/proportions/fractions of genotypes and phenotypes of the following crosses.

Provide a genetic explanation for the results and assign genotypes to theparents and progeny of this cross.b. What additional crosses might be carried out to determine if yourexplanation is correct?arrow_forward
- Two tetrahybrids (AaBbCcDd) were crossed. a. What is the probability of having sperm cells from the male parent with equal number of dominant and recessive genes? b. What is the probability that the progeny will have at least 1 dominant trait? c. Give complete phenotypic ratio expected from this cross.arrow_forwardAnswer the following with a short solution if needed: a. The gametes of a worm's genotype SsYy should produce what genotypes? b. A genetic cross between two F1-hybrid rose plants having yellow petals will yield what percent green-petal plants in the F2 generation? Yellow petals are dominant to green. c. Brown fur is dominant over light-colored fur. What is the phenotype of the resulting offspring if you cross a heterozygous brown fur and a light-colored fur?arrow_forwardRabbits may be classified as agouti, chinchilla, Himalayan, or albino according to coat color. A cross between CC h x C ch c produced 5 agouti, 3 chinchilla and 2 Himalayans. a. What are the phenotypes of the parent rabbits? Copy the genotypes then write the corresponding phenotype beside each. b. What are the genotypes of the F1s? c. What mode of inheritance is exhibited? d. If the two F1 agouti genotypes will be crossed, what percentage of theiroffspring will have the same phenotype? e. What will be the genotypes of the rabbits in (d)?arrow_forward

What percentage of the offspring would be YyGg in the F1 generation? B. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?arrow_forwardAssuming independent assortment for all gene pairs, what is the probability that a parent with the genotype AABBCC, will produce a gamete with the allele combination ABC? Select one: О а. 1/8 O b. 1/2 О с. 1/4 O d. 1/16 O e. 9/16arrow_forwardThe following cross is conducted between varieties of corn plants that exhibit the following phenotypes ... X Yellow and wrinkled kernels: ddrr Purple and smooth kernels: DdRr *The alleles for these traits assort independently during gametogenesis a. Using a Punnett square, determine the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring of this cross. b. If this cross produces 425 offspring, how many are expected to phenotypically resemble the first parent? c. If this cross produces 425 offspring, how many are expected to exhibit a recombinant phenotype?arrow_forward
- A woman with a rare autosomal recessive disorder was told that it was unlikely that her children would have the disorderas her husband did not have it. However, her first child has the disorder. a. What is the most likely explanation? b. Diagram the cross between the woman and her husband using a Punnett square, give the genotypic ratio (GR) and phenotypic ratio (PR) from the Punnett square. c. Based on the Punnett square results, what is the chance that her next child will have the disorder?arrow_forwardshows the results of a dihybrid cross involving seed shape and seed color. a.
