The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?
4. An albino corn snake is crossed with a normal-coloredcorn snake. The offspring are all normal-colored.When these first-generation progeny snakes arecrossed among themselves, they produce 32 normalcolored snakes and 10 albino snakes.a. How do you know that only a single gene is responsible for the color differences between these snakes? b. Which of these phenotypes is controlled by thedominant allele?c. A normal-colored female snake is involved in atestcross. This cross produces 10 normal-coloredand 11 albino offspring. What are the genotypes ofthe parents and the offspring?
1. An albino man whose parents are both normal marries a woman one whose parents is normal and the other albino. She has an albino sister. The couple has a normal son. a. Is albinism a dominant or a recessive trait? Explain your answer. b.Give genotypes of all the persons involved. c. The couple plans to have more kids. What is the probability of their second child being normal?

1. Dihybrid crosses: In dogs, black coat color(B) is dominant to yellow coat fur (b), and straight fur (F) is dominant to curly fur (f). The coat color gene and the fur texture gene are on different chromosomes, so they assort independently, and are not sex linkied. Determine the ratio of having a yellow dog with straight hair if the parents are: BbFF x Bbff a. What are the phenotype of the parents? b. Complete a punnet square. List all the genotypes of the predicted offsprin of this mating c. Based on your Punnet sqaure, list all the genotypes for offspring that would yield a dog with yellow straigh hair d. Based on the punnet square, what is the predicted phenotypic ratio for those parents having a dog with black curly hair.
1. A woman who is heterozygous for the brown eye and blue eye alleles marries a man with blue eyes. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the children? a) What is the genotypic ratio of the above cross (Write number next to genotype)? ___________________________________________________________________ b) What is the phenotypic ratio of the above cross? (Write number next to phenotype)? ___________________________________________________________________
4. Marfan syndrome is a genetic trait caused by in a dominant allele. The trait causes a weakening of the aorta that can be fatal. A teenager whose mother has the syndrome (but whose maternal grandfather was not affected), and whose father was unaffected, is concerend that she may have the trait. a. What is the phenotype of each of her parents? Genotype? b. What is the chance that the teenager has Marfan syndrome?
3) A. How are the following proteins involved in cell division: condensing, cohesin, kinetochore complex, tubulin? B. Why does phenotype not always reveal genotype? C. How can Mendel's postulates of segregation and independent assortment be explained by meiosis? D. Explain the genotypic and phenotypic ratios predicted when performing a monohybrid and a dihybrid cross of heterozygotes? E. How can you use the product rule and sum rule to calculate the probability of a particular genotype resulting from crossing parents of specific genotypes?

7. In guinea pigs, black hair colour (B) is dominant and brown hair colour (b) is recessive. Long hair (L) is dominant and short hair (l) is recessive. Answer the following questions: (a) Diagram the cross: BbLl x BbLL (b) What are the phenotypes of the parent generation? (c) What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation?
1. Hair or fur length in cats is controlled by a single, autosomal gene; the short hair-allele is dominant to the allele for long hair. Hair color is produced by a different gene which is located on the X chromosome. One allele for this sex-linked gene produces yellow, while an alternate allele produces black fur color; individualswhich are heterozygous for these alleles are calico or tortiseshell in color.If a long-haired, black male is mated with a calico female homozygous for short hair what kind of kittens will be produced in the Ej generation? Give both genotypes and phenotypes; express the genotypes bothsymbolically and in words. Label answers clearly!!
