How does penetrance differ from expressivity in genetics?
A. Penetrance is the percentage of individuals with a specific genotype that exhibit the expected phenotype while expressivity is the degree to which a phenotypic character is expressed.
B. Penetrance is the degree of lethality of a specific genotype while expressivity is how frequently that genotype is seen in the population.
C. Penetrance is the presence of more than two alleles at a locus within a group of individuals while expressivity is the influence of sex on which alleles express themselves.
D. None of the above.
E. Penetrance refers to the paternal effects of a gene while expressivity refers to the maternal effects of a gene.
Most of the genetic information we will get from our genome will not be hard evidence that we will or we won’t get a disease but is rather only probabilistic evidence.
a. What does this mean?
b. Why might knowing a single gene not tell you if you will get a particular condition?

There are four possible phenotypes for these kernels:Purple and Smooth Purple and Shrunken Yellow and Smooth Yellow and Shrunken The purple colour results from the formation of a purple pigment in the skin of the kernel.

The gene locus for the texture trait is designated “S”. Create a Punnett square for this cross and present the expected phenotypic ratio.
