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)
In humans, hair color and structure are determined by two independent pairs of genes. The dominant gene T determines dark hair color, and the recessive allele t - light hair;
The dominant gene S determines the formation of curly hair, and its recessive allele t - straight hair.
What kind of hair will the children have if the mother has light, straight hair, and the father has dark, curly hair (one of the pairs of traits is heterozygous for both parents)?
In cattle, coat color is controlled by two codominant alleles. One allele produces a red coat, (R), and one produces a white coat, (W). A cow with heterozygous alleles will have a roan coat. In the same breed of cattle not having horns, (N), is completely dominant over the presence of horns, (n). What phenotype and genotypes would be expected from a cross between a roan, horned bull and a hornless red cow that is a carrier for the horned allele. Show the Punnett square

What are the expected phenotypes of the offspring of a female with dimples and free earlobes (DDFf) and a male with no dimples and attached earlobes (ddff)?arrow_forwardMany studies have suggested a strong genetic predisposition to migraine headaches, but the mode of inheritance is not clear. L. Russo and colleagues examined migraine headaches in several families, two of which are shown below (L. Russo et al. 2005. American Journal of Human Genetics 76:327–333). What is the most likely mode of inheritance for migraine headaches in these families? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.arrow_forward
- Mendel's concept of dominance states that in a genotype where two different alleles of a locus are present, only the trait encoded by the dominant allele is observed. Give a molecular explanation for dominance, i.e. explain intracellular molecular events that can result in what we observe as dominance on a phenotypic level. Use the gene that encodes seed shape in peas as an example, where roun(R) is dominant over wrinkled(r), to explain how RR and Rr plants can have the same phenotype.arrow_forwardIn humans the absence of a cleft chin is dominant to the presence of a cleft chin. Two individuals, both of whom are heterozygous for a recessive allele that causes the cleft chin phenotype have 5 children, what is the probability that 3 of their children would not have a cleft chin and 2 would have a cleft chin? 0.0037 0.026 0.237 0.264arrow_forwardIn cats, gray hair (GG) is dominant to white hair (gg).

People of each genotype are invariably expressive. Compulsive homozygous and heterozygous individuals are completely penetrant, while homozygous recessive individuals are incompletely pentrant. (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) a) A person of genotype Mm can be a controlled selfie-taker. b) A person of genotype MM is expected to show the same selfie-taking phenotype as a person of genotype Mm. c) It is possible for a man of genotype Mm and a woman of genotype MM to have a child who is a controlled selfie-taker. d) Two people of mm genotype are expected to be controlled selfie-takers in the same way as each other.

- Color blindness is typically an inherited genetic condition in which individuals have a decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness only occurs in individuals who have two recessive alleles for the condition. Normal color vision is due to a dominant allele (C) Color blindness is due to the recessive allele (c) a) If Susan is homozygous for normal vision, and Matt is homozygous for color blindness, what is the likelihood (in percentage) that their son Alex will have color blindness? Perform a Punnett Square (either below or by hand on paper) to find the probability. Provide your answer in a full sentence. If you did the Punnett Square by hand, attach your photo to the next question.arrow_forwardIn humans, having extra fingers or toes is caused by a dominant allele (E). People with two recessive alleles have 5 fingers and toes on each hand or foot. What is the genotype of someone who has 5 fingers and toes on each hand or foot? What are the two different genotypes that someone with extra fingers or toes could have? If two people both had the normal number of fingers and toes, is there any chance that their children could inherit the allele for extra fingers and toes? Do a Punnett square and show your work. If a man who was heterozygous for this gene married someone who was homozygous for the recessive allele, what fraction of their children would you expect to have extra fingers or toes? Do a Punnett square and show your work.arrow_forwardIn roan bulls, alleles for both red and white hair are codominant (BRBW).
