Section 5: Trihybrid cross and Laws of probability
For a trihybrid cross, in which inheritance of alleles for three genes is tracked; drawing a
Punnett square that combines all three genes may not be practical. Instead the laws of
probability may be used. The product law of probabilities says that when alleles for separate
genes segregate independently, we can figure out the probability of a particular combined
genotype by multiplying the probability of the alleles for each gene.
13. We cross a homozygous tall pea plant with yellow, round seeds to a homozygous dwarf
pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. All the F1 offspring are all tall plants with yellow,
round seeds.
a. What are the expected F2 ratios (use fractions) of tall and dwarf plants?
b. What are the expected'F2 ratios (use fractions) of yellow and green seeds?
Monozygotic twins:
Question 2 options:
a)
Share 50% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia the risk of the other having the illness if 40-50%
b)
Share 100% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia, the risk of the other having schizophrenia is 10-15%
c)
Share 100% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia, the risk of the other having schizophrenia is 40-50%
d)
Share 50% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia the risk of the other having the illness is 10-15%
B.1. Let us assume that thick and short ovipositors are dominant to long and thin ovipositors. In a population of 2000 wasps, 16% of the population now have long and thin ovipositors. What is the frequency of individuals in the population that are heterozygous for this trait?

C. Use the following information to answer the next question d. Green-blue-brown eye colour The biochemistry of eye colour is not completely understood. Part of an explanation for eye colour may be the interaction of the products of three different alleles. The green allele is dominant to blue. The brown allele is also dominant to blue. The green is expressed only in the absence of a brown allele. Red-green colour blindness Red-green colour blindness results from a mutation of an X-linked gene. A mutation in the gene causes red-green colour blindness (Xb), the inability to distinguish between red and green. The X allele is recessive.
