Q2: What proportions of the male and female descendants in generation IV were affected by the disorder? Q3: Why did Aldrich hypothesize that the disease was X-linked?
Discuss how Mendel’s monohybrid results served as the basis for all but one of his postulates. Which postulate was not based on these results? Why?

- We have crossed true-breeding flies today. Wild type to mutant. Their phenotypes were wt and vg se. (Let’s not worry about males and females for now, just assume both genes are autosomal, which is normal in a Mendelian experiment). The results of a cross are phenotypes. I will be asking you for numbers or a ratio of phenotype numbers you expect to see in the offspring from this cross. To answer this, you’ll need to start with the genotypes of parents, then write their gametes, then write the offspring genotypes, then get the phenotypes based on them. Predict the results of this cross: In case both mutations are recessive; In case both mutations are dominant; In case vestigial wings are recessive and the sepia eyes are dominant.arrow_forwardCat fur coat color genetics is interesting. Orange fur is dominant (''B'') to black fur (''b'') and piebald, which is white spotting, is dominant (''S'') to non-white-spotted (''s''). Both of those genes are located on the X chromosome. In addition, in cats, somatic cells exhibit X-inactivation randomly, which explains why there are tortoiseshell cats (when heterozygous, have orange and black spots) as well as calico cats (orange and black but also with white spots). An orange and white spotted male is mated with a tortoiseshell female. Draw a dihybrid Punnet square to show the possible offspring:arrow_forwardCat fur coat color genetics is interesting.

- Question 7 Which of the following is inconsistent (not consistent) with inheritance of a maternal effect trait? A) Progeny from the same parents have the same maternal effect phenotype as each other but not their mother. B) Progeny can show a recessive phenotype even though the progeny have dominant genotypes. C) Both parents contribute recessive alleles to an offspring yet it has a dominant phenotype for the maternal effect trait. D) Progeny from the same parents have different traits related to the maternal effect gene in question. CS Scanned with CamScannerarrow_forwardYou are studying ear shape in dogs (with XY se x determination) and cross a true-breeding pointed-ear female to a true-breeding floppy-ear male and collect all pointy-ear male and female offspring. Your colleague suspects that the two phenotypes may be caused by alleles of one X-linked gene. What sort of cross would you do to determine whether this is an X-linked trait? Name it and describe it. What offspring phenotypic ratio would you expect in that cross if the green allele is a dominant X-linked allele? Make sure to label your ratio with all relevant phenotypes. How would the result of your cross (from A) be different if the trait is autosomalarrow_forwardWho was Gregor Mendel?

Please provide sufficient reasoning, Thank you.arrow_forwardIn one of Mendel’s dihybrid crosses, he observed315 round, yellow; 108 round, green; 101 wrinkled,yellow; and 32 wrinkled, green F2 plants.

This gene codes for handedness. Individuals who are homozygous for the H allele are left handed. Individuals homozygous for the h allele are right handed, and heterozygous individuals are ambidextrous (can use both hands equally well). You cross an ambidextrous female with a right handed male and the female becomes pregnant. What is the probability that the baby chimpanzee will be a right handed male? a. 1/2 b. 0 c. 1 d. 1/4 e.
