- 2.In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive allele, d. A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, but the owner is unsure of the genotype. She does a testcross (crosses it to a homozygous recessive dog), and two of the five offspring are deaf. This means that the male dog A.has the genotype DD B.has the genotype Dd C.is still of unknown genotype since there were offspring of both deaf and hearing phenotypes. D.has the genotype dd5. Why is it possible for a trait that is not present in the present generation to appear in the next generation? Explain briefly.In Drosophila, two genes, one for body color and one for eye color, are carried on the same chromosome. The wild-type gray body color is dominant to black body color, and wild-type red eyes are dominant to purple eyes. You make a cross between a fly with gray body and red eyes and a fly with black body and purple eyes. Among the offspring, about half have gray bodies and red eyes and half have black bodies and purple eyes. A small percentage have: (a) black bodies and red eyes; or (b) gray bodies and purple eyes. What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes in each of the flies used in the cross? What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes of the F1 flies with black bodies and red eyes, and those with gray bodies and purple eyes?
- In addition to the two genes in problem 4, assume you now study a third independently assorting gene that has the alleles C and c. For each of the following genotypes, indicate what types of gametes will be produced: a. AA BB CC b. Aa BB Cc c. Aa BB cc d. Aa Bb CcAnother gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?Refer to problem 2. Assume a third gene has alleles C and c. For each genotype listed, what allele combinations will occur in gametes, assuming independent assortment? a. AABBCC b. AaBBcc c. AaBBCc d. AaBbCc
- The dominant C allele of a gene that controls color in corn produces kernels with color; plants homozygous for a recessive c allele of this gene have colorless or white kernels. What kinds of gametes, and in what proportions, would be produced by the plants in the following crosses? What seed color, and in what proportions, would be expected in the offspring of the crosses? a. CCCc b. Cccc c. CcCcIn cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?A number of genes carried on the same chromosome are tested and show the following crossover frequencies. What is their sequence in the map of the chromosome? Genes Crossover Frequencies between Them C and A 7% B and D 3% B and A 4% C and D 6% C and B 3%
- 1. a) If you were at risk of a fatal disease such as Huntington’s disease and only the 95% accurate preliminary genetic test was available, would you take the test? After all, 95% of the time the test would tell you whether you would eventually get Huntington’s disease or whether you did not have to worry about getting this disease. b) The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?7) Picture a scenario where the maternal and paternal chromosomes randomly align all on the same side (all the maternal chromosomes on one side and all of the paternal chromosomes on the other side). If this happened in your body, this would theoretically result in the production of gametes that contained chromosomes which ALL originated from either your mother or your father. Are the chromosomes contained in these gametes identical to the ones you originally inherited from your mother and father? Why or Why not?1. If a particular species of plant is made up of cells that each have 30 separate chromosomes, 15 of which appear to be paired in terms of size and shape, what is the “ploidy” of this plant? What is the term for these similar chromosomes? What is the ploidy of a different plant species in which the cells also have 30 separate chromosomes, but there seem to be 10 triplets of similar size and shape? How many different alleles can the same gene of a tetraploid plant have?
