10. About 70% of Americans get a bitter taste form the substance called phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). It is tasteless to the rest. The taster allele is dominant to non-taster. Also, normal skin pigmentation is dominant to albino. A normally pigmented woman who is taste-blind for PTC has an albino-taster father. She marries an albino man who is a taster, though the man's mother is a non-taster. Show the expected offspring of this couple. Genotypes: Phenotypes: Genotypic Ratio: Phenotypic Ratio:

Several alleles affect traits of roses, such as plant form and bud shape. Alleles of one gene govern whether a plant will be a climber (dominant) or shrubby (recessive). All F1 offspring from a cross between a true-breeding climber and a shrubby plant are climbers. If an F1 plant is crossed with a shrubby plant, about 50 percent of the offspring will be shrubby; 50 percent will be climbers. Using symbols A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, make a Punnett- square diagram of the expected genotypes and phenotypes the cross between the F1 offspring and the shrubby plant.
8. About 70% of people get a bitter taste from the chemical phenyl thiocarbamide (PTC), while the other 30% do not. The ability to taste this chemical (T) is a dominant characteristic, while taste-blindness to it is recessive (t). Tongue-rolling ability is dominant (R), while the inability to roll the tongue is recessive (r). A tongue-rolling woman who is taste-blind for PTC has a father who could not roll his tongue but could taste the PTC chemical. She marries a man who can taste PTC but cannot roll his tongue. His mother was taste-blind to the chemical. Show the possible children this couple could produce.
4.) A man and a woman have a child. The father is blood type A, and one of his parents was blood type A and the other was blood type O. The mother is blood type B, and one of her parents was blood type B, the other type O. Both the father and the mother are carriers of the Bombay allele. (Neither of the type-O grandparents were type O because of the Bombay allele – they had the regular type O genotype.) WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeO? WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeAB? (Hint – for this question, you should draw out a pedigree and fill in as much as you can for the genotypes of BOTH genes that are involved.)
7. The ability to roll your tongue (R) is dominant to lack of this ability (r). A. What is the genotype of a man who can roll his tongue if his father couldn’t? B. If a man who is heterozygous for tongue rolling marries a woman who is heterozygous, what would you predict for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?
1. If your genotype is Bb, what type of trait would you express as phenotype? a. dominant b. recessive c. both a and b d. neither a nor b 2. If your genotype is BB, what type of trait would you express as phenotype? a. dominant b. recessive c. both a and b d. neither a nor b 3. If a baby goat received a dominant gene for curly hair from one parent, and a recessive gene for straight hair from the other, which trait will the baby goat display? a. No hair b. Curly hair c. Straight hair d. Straight and curly hair 4. The allele for yellow seeds in pea plants, Y, is dominant. The allele for green seeds in pea plants, y, is recessive. Which combination would produce a plant with green seeds? a. YY b. Yy c. yY d. yy 5. In humans, the allele for brown eyes, B, is dominant over the allele for blue eyes, b.

4. Huntington diseases is a rare fatal, degenerative neurological disease in which individuals start to show symptoms in their 40s. It is caused by a dominant allele. Joe, a man in his 20s, just learned that his father has Huntington disease. a. What is the probability that Joe will also develop the disease?b. Joe and his new wife have been eager to start a family. What is the probability that their first child will eventually develop the disease?
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 dd
3. A couple just had a baby, who has type-O blood. Upon learning the baby’s blood type, the father becomesinfuriated and accuses the mother of cheating on him. The mother has type-A blood and the father has type-Bblood. Knowing that the allele for type-O is recessive, answer the following questions.a. What is the relationship between the IA, IB, and i alleles?b. Is the father right? Or is he falsely accusing the mother? Explain. Include the genotypes of the parentsand the genotypes of their potential children.

1) Perception of a bitter taste from phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is dominant (T) to not being able to taste PTC. Albinism is recessive to normal pigmentation (A). The genes controlling these traits are on separate chromosomes. a. A normally pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has a father who is an albino taster, marries a many homozygous for normal pigmentation who is a PTC taster, but whose mother did not taste PTC. What are the genotypes of the woman and man listed here? b. Assuming the man and woman in the above section have children, what percentage of these children will be albino? c. What percentage of these children will have the same phenotype as their mother?

A red wattle (HR) is incompletely dominant with a white wattle (HW) so that an individual with HRHW will have a pink wattle. A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of the chicks?
