4.) In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive gene (d). A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, so the owner knows his genotype is either DD or Dd. If the dog's genotype is Dd, the owner does not wish to use him for breeding so that the deafness gene will not be passed on. This can be tested by breeding the dog to a deaf female (dd). Draw the Punnett squares to illustrate these two possible crosses. List all genotypes and phenotypes showing how many of the offspring would be normal and deaf.

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. A new species of animal called the rekamriliob has been found in the wild. The lab you work in has been tasked with studying its genetics. So far, there have been 2 main phenotypes found in the wild. Through selective breeding, your lab has determined that the gene for purple color (P) is dominant to the gene for golden color (p). Another lab has determined that the thick limb trait is dominant to the thin limb variety. If you breed a purebred purple thick limbed rekamreliob male with a golden thin limbed female, you get 100% thick limed offspring that are purple in color. If you take two of these organisms and breed them together, please predict the following. Assume that rekameliobs lay an average of 32 eggs. The gametes produced if the genes are unlinked b. genes The expected numbers of the possible phenotype in the offspring with unlinked The gametes produced if the genes are linked (list all possibilities, and show which ones are the result of crossing over) d.

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.)

Since each child of two heterozygous parents has a 1/4 chance of receiving a recessive trait from each parent. A)If the first child is phenotypically recessive, then the next child has 3/4 chance of being phenotypically recessive B)no matter what the first child's phenotype, the next child will have a 1/4 chance of being phenotypically recessiveC)if the first child is phenotypically recessive, then the next child has a 1/2 chance of being phenotypically recessive D)if the first child is phenotypically recessive, then the next child must be phenotypically dominant.

3. A student states, “If a person expresses the dominant trait for eye color, then the person’s genotype must be BB.” Is the student correct? Explain why or why not. Assume that the B allele is dominant, and the b allele is recessive.)
1.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A.Phenotype is the pair of genes that carries the genetic makeup of an organism B.Homozygous is a combination of two dominant or two recessive allele C.A recessive allele must be received from both parents to bring about a recessive phenotype D.Heterozygous is a combination of one dominant allele and one recessive allele
II. Make Your Own Pedigree First, choose a trait that you would like to investigate. It should be a heritable trait like tongue rolling, cleft chin, widow’s peak, opposable thumb, or hand clasping. Then, interview or observe the trait starting with your grandparents (mother or father side). This will be followed by your aunts and uncles, and for the third generation you, your siblings, and your cousins. Draw your pedigree on the space provided
