When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.HOW DO WE KNOW? we focused on the Mendelian postulates, probability, and pedigree analysis. We also considered some of the methods and reasoning by which these ideas, concepts, and techniques were developed. On the basis of these discussions,
what answers would you propose to the followingquestion.
Question: Since experimental crosses are not performed in humans, how do we know how traits are inherited?
Question GROUP A: Genetics Problems
In humans, red-green color blindness is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. A
male with normal vision and his color-blind wife have a child. If the child is male what is the
probability that he will be color-blind?
The female in the previous problem has a daughter that is color-blind. The husband claims that
this cannot be his child. Can you support or refute his argument?

Show your work on problems that ask. That means
make sure that you are showing at least one Punnett

For each pedigree, state whether the abnormal condition is dominant or recessive. Try to state the logic behind your answer. b. For each pedigree, describe the genotypes of as many persons as possible.arrow_forwardRequired information A single-factor cross is one in which the inheritance of only one character and its associated genotypes are followed. Punnett squares are often used to predict the outcomes of simple genetic crosses. Based on Mendel's laws, the genotypes of the parents can be used to predict the genes in their gametes and the resulting progeny. A Punnett square enables you to predict the types of offspring the parents are expected to produce and in what proportions. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans.

One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.arrow_forwardMonohybrid Practice Problems For each of the following, show the Punnett Square and give the Genotype AND Phenotype for each on your own paper! 1. In human, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What type of offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown eyed person to a heterozygous brown eyed person? 2. A widow's peak hairline is dominant to straight hairline. Cross a heterozygous widow's peak hairline person to a straight hairline person. 3. In humans premature gray hair is dominant over normal hair coloring. Cross a homozygous premature gray haired person to a homozygous normal haired person. 4. In humans tongue rolling is dominant to non-tongue rolling. What would be the expected type of offspring if a homozygous tongue roller was crossed to a heterozygous tongue roller? 5. Brown hair is dominant over light colored hair. Cross two light haired people. 6. In a certain plant yellow fruit is dominant to white fruit.
