- Discuss the types of traits that have been subjected to selective breeding in this example.arrow_forwardA Koi fish breeder wants to introduce a variety of colours in his current Koi population. In Koi, genes for yellow striped body and blue eyes are denoted by YyBB; while orange striped body and green eyes are denoted by OOgg. By means of a punnet square explain to the breeder the type of offspring he would get if he were to mate koi fish with the aforementioned genes. What phenotypes and genotypes will the offspring have?arrow_forwardWhen a red-flowering plant is crossed with a white-flowering plant, pink flowers are seen among the offspring. This is an example of: a) inbreeding b) codominance c) incomplete dominance d) multiple allelesarrow_forward
- Consider a mating between two individuals represented by genotypes NnTT X NNTt. Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles. Assume the N and T loci segregate independently (i.e., are not linked). What is the frequency of double heterozygotes (NnTt) in the offspring of these matings? Group of answer choices 1/2 1/16 1/8 1/4arrow_forwardConsider two blood polymorphisms that humans have in addition to the ABO system. Two alleles LM and LN determine the M, N, and MN blood groups. The dominant allele R of a different gene causes a person to have the Rh+ (rhesus positive) phenotype, whereas the homozygote for r is Rh− (rhesus negative). Two men took a paternity dispute to court, each claiming three children to be his own. The blood groups of the men, the children, and their mother were as follows:From this evidence, can the paternity of the children be established?arrow_forwardWhat are outbreeding devices?arrow_forward
- What is the coefficient of inbreeding for the offspring of half siblings? Draw the pedigree to show your work. Paragraph BI U A/ V E✓ E ✓ AO GO +arrow_forwardA very large population of rabbits has been allowed to breed randomly in a laboratory research program. The rabbits vary in their coat colour, which is either gray or black. After many generations, 25% of the rabbits display a recessive phenotype for gray coat colour (aa), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. The other 75% of the rabbits show the dominant black coat phenotype, with heterozygotes (Aa) indistinguishable from the homozygous dominants (AA) What is a reasonable conclusion explaining the fact that the frequency of the recessive trait (aa) has not changed over time? a. There has been sexual selection favouring allele a b. The two phenotypes have about equal fitness under laboratory conditions C. The population is undergoing genetic drift d. The genotype AA is lethalarrow_forwardWhat evolutionary factors can cause allele frequencies to change and possibly lead to a genetic polymorphism? Discuss the relative importance of each type of process.arrow_forward
