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?
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.
A heterozygous individual has a _______ for a trait being studied. a. pair of identical alleles b. pair of nonidentical alleles c. haploid condition, in genetic terms
Individuals affected by a condition known as polydactyly have extra fingers or toes. The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of this trait in one family: From the pedigree, can you tell if polydactyly comes from a dominant or recessive allele? Is the trait sex-linked? As far as you can determine, what is the genotype of each person in the pedigree with respect to the trait?
Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition. What genotypic ratios would you expect among the living offspring of the following crosses? a. RRRr b. RrRr
2. Uniparental disomy is a rare phenomenon in whichonly one of the parents of a child with a recessivedisorder is a carrier for that trait; the other parent ishomozygous normal. By analyzing DNA polymorphisms, it is clear that the child received both mutantalleles from the carrier parent but did not receive anycopy of the gene from the other parent.a. Diagram at least two ways in which uniparentaldisomy could arise. (Hint: These mechanismsall require more than one error in cell division,explaining why uniparental disomy is so rare.)Is there any way to distinguish between thesemechanisms to explain any particular case ofuniparental disomy?

1. The pedigree shown below illustrates the inheritance pattern for a trait controlled by a single fully penetrant gene with complete dominance. Based on the pedigree do the following: a. List one mode of inheritance consistent with the pedigree.
7. In rabbits, a locus involved in the control of coat colour may be occupied by any of fouralleles: Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd), or Albino (ca). A geneticist counted the numberof Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd) and Albino coat offspring resulting after crossesbetween Sepia (ck) and Cream (cd) coloured coated parents. The results were as follows.• Full colour (C): 152• Sepia (ck): 53• Cream (cd): 39• Albino (ca): 6Mendelian inheritance of this trait predicts that the ratio of Full colour (C) to Sepia (ck) to Cream(cd) to Albino (ca) should be 9:3:3:1. Do the experimental results support this mode ofinheritance?
11. What evidence do you see in the pedigree illustrated if any, allowing the mode of inheritance for this trait to be deduced as completely vs. incompletely dominant? Do not consider any other information beyond what is shown in the pedigree. Answer in one complete sentence, referring to any individuals in the pedigree who may be informative using generation and individual numbers.
5) Humans who have an abnormally high level of cholesterol are said to suffer from familialhypercholesterolemia.  The gene for this disorder is dominant (C). A man who isheterozygous for familial hypercholesterolemia marries a woman who is homozygousfor the recessive allele. What is the probability that they will have children that sufferfrom this disorder? please draw the puutnet square and also write the parents and gemtaics top the puutnet square thanks
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.)
