Chapter 5, Problem 22PDQ
An organism of the genotype AaBbCc was testcrossed to a triply recessive organism (aabbcc). The genotypes of the progeny are presented in the following table.
- (a) If these three genes were all assorting independently, how many genotypic and
phenotypic classes would result in the offspring, and in what proportion, assuming simple dominance and recessiveness in each gene pair? - (b) Answer part (a) again, assuming the three genes are so tightly linked on a single chromosome that no crossover gametes were recovered in the sample of offspring.
- (c) What can you conclude from the actual data about the location of the three genes in relation to one another?

When two alternative genotypes are possible,list both.(a) Two parents without albinism have five children, four withoutalbinism and one with albinism.(b) A male without albinism and a female with albinism havesix children, all without albinism.
In cattle, the gene for hornless (H) is dominant to the gene for horned (h), the gene for
black (B) is dominant to that of red (b), and the gene for white face, or Hereford spotting,
(S) is dominant to that for solid color (s). A cow (female) that is heterozygous for all traits
is inseminated by a bull (male) of the genotype bbhhSs. What is the probability of
obtaining a calf that is a black, hornless bull with Hereford spotting?

- Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?arrow_forwardFemales from a pure-breeding curly-winged strain are mated with males from a pure-breeding straight-winged (wild-type) strain. The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curly wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation? Explain your answer and why the other options do not qualify, A) Curly wings is a recessive trait. B) The dominant curly wing allele is also a recessive lethal. C) Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles. D) Two interacting genes determine wing shape. E) All of the hybrid F 1 flies had straight wings.arrow_forwardA recessive maternal effect mutant in zebrafish, called ichabod, results in embryos lacking heads that are non-viable. You have been instructed to identify females that are homozygous for the ichabod mutant allele. At your disposal are a tank of wild-type fish (males and females), a tank of male and female parental fish that are all heterozygous for the ichabod mutant allele (ichabod/+), and a tank of F1 fish derived from a cross between a heterozygous male and heterozygous female (ichabod/+). Which of the following would be a way to identify females that are homozygous mutant, i.e. ichabod/ichabod? Select all answers that would work.arrow_forward
- ) Cats also have a locus (gene) for a character called agouti. In cats with agouti fur, pigment is unevenly distributed (see Fig. 1). The agouti allele is dominant to the allele for regular fur. A male cat who long haired and is heterozygous for agouti fur is crossed with a female who has regular, non-agouti fur and is homozygous for short fur. a) What are the genotypes of these cats? b) What are all of the possible allelic combinations in the gametes from each of these cats? c)What are all of the possible phenotypic combinations of these characters in their kittens and in what ratios?arrow_forwardAssume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?arrow_forwardAn organism of the genotype AaBbCc was testcrossed to a triply recessive organism (aabbcc).

- Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented human parents already have an albino boy. They plan to continue to have children until they get a girl. Some or all of this information is important for each of the questions below. a) What is the probability that their next child (currently unborn) will be a girl with albinism? Explain your reasoning. b) What is the probability their first female child will be albino? Explain your reasoning. c) The answer to part (b) is different (and, yes, the answer is different) from the answer to part (a). Explain why. (Hint: it has something to do with the underlined words.)arrow_forwardTwo plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part F: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be A - bb if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part G: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aaB- If the genes are 30 mu apart? Part H: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aabb if the genes are 30 mu apart?arrow_forwardShown below is a pedigree for a completely penetrant trait called Adams syndrome in which babies are born blind. This trait occurs when an allele of the adams gene is associated with ≥200 tandem trinucleotide repeats (the normal number is 10). First cousins, III-1 and III-2 married and their first child (IV-1) was blind. For their next child, they decided to do in vitro fertilization with III-1's sperm and III-2's eggs to generate six embryos (labeled E1-6). When each embryo contained eight cells, a single cell was removed and genomic DNA was isolated. PCR reactions using primers that flank the trinucleotide repeat region were then performed and the resulting fragments were fractionated on an agarose gel. PCR reactions using genomic DNA from III-1, III-2 and IV-1 were included as controls. The DNA was visualized using a fluorescent dye and the gel is shown below. Based on this information, select the best answer from the list to the questions below. || E1 = embryo 1 IV E1 E2 E3 E4 E5…arrow_forward
- Bar (B) is a dominant sex-linked mutant of D. melanogaster. Held-out wings and ebony body are recessive, autosomal mutants on chromosome III, mapping 12 map units apart. A Bar-eyed, ebony-bodied male was crossed to a held-out female, and the resulting F1 progeny WERE INBRED to produce the F2. At what frequency do you expect wild-type flies from this cross? (Reminder: Crossing over does not occur in the male). Based on the information in Problem 3, how often would you get a bar ebony but not held-out progeny?arrow_forwardA researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes: F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, long You know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results. a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the "brown, long" class. d) You obtain a value of 3.47 for the chi-square test.
