1) By convention, the recessive trait will determine the abbreviation used to track crosses if it is a mutant condition, since it stands out in contrast to the rest of the population. For example, if pea pods are typically green in color, a mutant condition might result in yellow pea pods; therefore, the lowercase letter ‘y’ would be used to depict the mutant state, yellow, while uppercase ‘Y’ would depict the wildtype (wt) condition, green. Remember that the mutant condition is not necessarily always recessive. 1 A) . If green is dominant wt (Y) and yellow is a recessive mutant condition (y), depict a Yy father mated with a YY mother in the Punnett. 1B) Considering the dominant allele, what colors are the parents in the cross above? Yy = _____________________ YY = _____________________ 1C) What colors are the offspring in the cross above? 1D) What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? 1E) What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? (Remember, the genotypic ratio is based…
1.What is the genotype of the F1 generation of the corn monohybrid cross described above? 2.What is the phenotype of the F1 generation of the corn monohybrid cross described above? 3.What are the possible maternal and paternal genotypes of the F1 gametes of the corn monohybrid cross described above?
1) By decomposing the cross, MmNn X Mmnn, into single gene outcomes, the possibility of obtaining a double recessive outcome for the ‘N’ gene is: a) 50%! b) 100! c) 0%! d) 25%! 2) A 16-square Punnett is time-consuming to draw out. Dr. Thompson can easily solve this problem by decomposing her dihybrid crosses into separate monohybrid Punnett squares, which would also be quicker than using a forked line diagram. If so, how many individual monohybrid Punnett squares will she need to draw? a) Four Punnett squares. b) Two Punnet squares. c) One Punnett square. d) Sixteen Punnett squares since there are 16 possible outcomes.

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?
