- If the chi-square value came out to 14,224.221 and the p-value was said to be less than 0.01, what do you conclude about whether these traits follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion Using a punnett square, predict the percentage of the f2 generation that would have both recessive traits (rryy) in a dihybrid cross that starts with f1 generation parents with genotype RrYy. a. 18.75 percent b. 50 percent c. 37.5 percent d. 6.25 percentarrow_forwardWhat is the most likely combination of genotypes for a cross between two heterozygous individuals, using these alleles; B is dominant to b? a 2BB and 2bb b 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb c 1BB, 1Bb, and 2bb d 3BB and 1bbarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is not true about heritability? a. H^2 is always a number between 0 and 1 b. H^2 =1 indicates most variation in a trait among individuals due to variation in genes c. H^2 means what fraction of variation in a trait is due to variation in genes and what fraction is due to variation in environmental conditions d. H^2 =1 indicates most variation in a trait among individuals due to variation in environmentsarrow_forwardA dihybrid cross is performed between two heterozygous individuals (heterozygous for two traits). The resulting offspring had 62 individuals that were dominant for trait 1 and 2 (D/D), 7 individuals that were R/R, 21 individuals that were R/D, and 25 individuals that were D/R. Using Mendelian inheritance as the null hypothesis, use χ2 analysis to determine if the trait follows Mendelian inheritance. A. How many D/D phenotype offspring are expected? B. How many R/D phenotype offspring are expected? C. How many degrees of freedom are there? D. What is your calculated χ2 value? E. What is the critical value if using a probability of 0.05? F. Does the trait follow Mendelian inheritance?arrow_forwardUsing the pedigree shown here, answer the following questions for individual VI-1. A. Is this individual inbred? B. If so, who is/are her parents’ common ancestor(s)? C. Calculate the inbreeding coefficient for VI-1. D. Are the parents of VI-1 inbred?arrow_forward
- Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized. If the capital letters represent dominant, independently assorting alleles: (a) how many different genotypes will occur in the F2? 3^5=243(AaBbCcDdEe) (b) what proportion of the F2 genotypes will be recessive for all five loci? (c) would you change your answers (a and/or b) if the initial cross occurred between AAbbCCddee X aaBBccDDEE parents? (d) would you change your answers (a and/or b) if the initial cross occurred between AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE parents?arrow_forwardA family pedigree is shown here. A. What is the inbreeding coefficient for individual IV-3? B. Based on the data shown in this pedigree, is individual IV-4 inbred?arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, red fruit is dominant to yellow fruit, and purple stems are dominant to green stems. The progeny from one mating consisted of 305 red fruit, purple stem plants; 328 red fruit, green stem plants; 110 yellow fruit, purple stem plants; and 97 yellow fruit, green stem plants. What were the genotypes of the parents in this cross? Explain how you arrived at your answers.arrow_forward
- In a population of beans that is mostly diploid, there are an assortment of them: black, white, orange, red, green, fuchsia, brown, yellow. Determine the number of alleles that can be observed in the bean population?arrow_forwardA monohybrid cross is one that involves Group of answer choices A. two loci B. many loci C. a single allele D. a single locusarrow_forwardTwo gene loci, A and B, are on separate chromosomes and alleles A and B are dominant over alleles a and b. A codes for long branches, a codes for short branches. B codes for green leaves and b codes for blue leaves. A branch diagram or a punnett square would be useful for you to work this problem. What percentage of the progeny will have short branches and blue leaves from a cross AaBb × Aabb? Group of answer choices 1/8 1/4 1/2 3/4arrow_forward
