4. The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). 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?
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
6. Consider that people with blue eyes must have two alleles for blue eyes since blue eye color is a recessive trait. A blue-eyed person and a brown-eyed person have an offspring with blue eyes. The brown-eyed person must A. have two alleles for blue eyes. B. have two alleles for brown eyes. C. not have the dominant brown eye allele. D, have one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes.
4. The inheritance of coat colour in cattle controlled by multiple alleles with a dominance hierarchy as follows: S > sh > sc > s. The S allele produces a white band all over the cattle’s body known as ‘Dutch band’, the sh allele produces spots on the skin known as ‘Hereford’, the sc allele produces solid colour, and the s allele produces ‘Holstein’ spots. Homozygous ‘Dutch band’ males are cross to ‘Holstein’ females. The F1 females are crossed to ‘Hereford’ males of the shsc genotype. With the aid of genetic diagram, determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic frequencies in the F2 progeny.
4. A group of alleles of genes that display a hierarchy of dominance relationships among them is called:
4)If an individual is bald, so you can't tell whether or not they have a widow's peak, but neither parent has a widow's peak, which genotypes are possible? a)Group of answer choices b)Homozygous recessive c)Homozygous dominant d)Heterozygous e)Unable to determine
2)If an individual that is homozygous dominant for a gene has offspring with an individual that is homozygous recessive for that gene, which genotypes are possible for their offspring? choose all that apply A)homozygous dominant B)heterozygous C)homozygous recessive D)more information would be needed
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.)
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. In a particular bird species, the tips of the feathers are tinged with blue, white, or silver. The BB genotype calls for blue-tipped feathers. The WW genotype calls for white-tipped feathers. The BW genotype calls for an intermediate with silver-tipped feathers. A mating occurs between a blue-tipped bird and a white-tipped bird. What types of offspring would be expected? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring and the probability of each. 2. The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each. 3. In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. When a cat with a…
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.) A long neck yellow giraffe (T t Y y) mates with a tall neck orange giraffe (T t y y). What is the percent chance their offspring would be have a short neck and orange? 2.) In humans, cataracts in the eyes and fragility of the bones are caused by dominant alleles that assort independently. A man with cataracts and normal bones marries a woman without cataracts but with fragile bones. The man’s father had normal eyes, and the woman’s father had normal bones a.) What are the genotypes of the man and the woman? b.) What is the probability that their first child will? (1) be free of both abnormalities (2) have cataracts but not have fragile bones (3) have fragile bones but not have cataracts (4) have both cataracts and fragile bones 3.) In corn plants, two pairs of genes control color in the ears of corn. The following genotypes result in various…
