3. In the family pedigree shown in the following chart, an abnormal trait is inherited as a simple recessive. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume that the individuals who have married into this family do not carry the recessive gene for the trait. Colored squares and circles represent expressions of the trait (see figure). Calculate the probability of the trait appearing in a given offspring if the following cousins and second cousins in generations III and IV should marry: (a) III-1 x III-12; (b) III-4 x III-14; (c) III-6 x III-13; (d) IV-1 x IV-2 2 II 10 11 12 13 15 16 IV

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?
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?
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
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.
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
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?

In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
1. Suppose that in plants, smooth seeds (S) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (s) and tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). A tall plant with smooth seeds was backcrossed to a parent that was short and wrinkled. What proportion of the progeny is expected to be heterozygous for tall and smooth? 2. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between a father who has sickle cell anemia and a mother who is heterozygous for the gene, what is the probability that their first three children will have the normal phenotype?
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.
1. Hereditary deafness in dalmations (d) is a recessive trait. What percentage of the progeny of crossing DD × Dd will be expected to be a carrier of the deafness allele, but not deaf? (enter a number only) 2.In snapdragons, a flowering plant, red (R) flower colour is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink flower colour. If a two pink flowered snapdragons are crossed, what is the resulting phenotype ratio? Select one: a.2:2 b.1:1:1:1 c.1:2:1 d.3:1 e. (all will be the same)
8. Consider the following hypothetical cross: Tall, + tendrils X Short, - tendrils F1: Tall, + tendrils F1’s are backcrossed to recessive parent. 850 progeny produced: Tall, + tendrils 221; Tall, - tendrils 195; short, + tendrils 190, short, - tendrils 194. Explain pattern of inheritance.
