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?
PLease help, double and triple check your answers, im using this to study, these questions are NOT graded they are PRACTICE problems. Please help with all 4 parts of this question!!!!!!!
A. Your maternal grandpa is colorblind but both your mom and dad are not affected. What are the chances of your sister being colorblind? What are the chances of your brother being colorblind? (Colorblindness is X-linked recessive)
B. Regarding the problem above, if your sister’s husband is colorblind, what are the chances that their first son will be colorblind?
C. Two genes, A and X, exhibit incomplete linkage. The frequency of each parental gamete (AX and ax) is 45%. What is the approximate frequency of the Ax gamete?
D. There are three genes located in the gene order A--B--C on a chromosome. Would you expect the recombination frequency to be higher between A and B or A and C?
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?

The pesticide was no longer effective because of the prevalence of resistant flies. Ranchers decided to stop using the pesticide, and in 20 years the resistance allele dropped to a frequency of 5%. The allele is autosomal, affects fitness in an additive fashion, and there are two fly generations per year. a) Explain in 1—2 sentences why natural selection may have caused a decrease in the frequency of the resistance allele. b) What is the selection coefficient acting against homozygotes for the resistance allele (in the absence of the pesticide)? c) What was the frequency of the resistance allele one generation after ranchers stopped using the pesticide (i.e., after one generation of viability selection)? Assume that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium when ranchers stopped using the pesticide and the population underwent random mating. d) The effective…arrow_forward
