7. In rats, the allele for kinky hair (h) is recessive to the allele for normal hair (H), and the allele for short tail (e) is recessive to the allele for long tail (T). The genes for hair kinkiness and tail length are found close together on the same chromosome (i.e., they are linked). "Backalley Bob" is a rat who is heterozygous for both hair type and tail length. Bob's father had kinky hair and a long tail, and was homozygous for both traits. Bob met and married "Riverboat Rita," a kinky-haired, short-tailed rat. a. Give the genotype of cach of the following: Backalley Bob: Backalley Bob's father:. Riverboat Rita: b. Draw a Punnett square to illustrate the cross between Backalley Bob and Riverboat Rita. Remember-the genes are linked. Assume that there is no crossing over. c. Give the predicted genotypic ratio of the offspring of this cross, if there is no crossing over.

In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?
The ability of humans to taste the bitter chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a genetic trait. People with at least one copy of the normal, dominant allele of the PTC gene can taste PTC; those who are homozygous for a mutant, recessive allele cannot taste it. Could two parents able to taste PTC have a nontaster child? Could nontaster parents have a child able to taste PTC? A pair of taster parents, both of whom had one parent able to taste PTC and one nontaster parent, are expecting their first child. What is the chance that the child will be able to taste PTC? Unable to taste PTC? Suppose the first child is a nontaster. What is the chance that their second child will also be unable to taste PTC?
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?
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
4) In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown in the image attached. a) Assign the letter “s” to the wing pattern gene and letter “w” to the background color gene. Write in the capital letter for the dominant phenotype and the lower case letter for the recessive phenotype. Also, write whether each allele is dominant (D) or recessive (R). Wing pattern gene: Spotted - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Striped - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Background color gene: orange: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ white: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:_____ b) Based on the four matings in Question 4: What are the genotypes of each parent in each cross?

7/While doing crosses with plants you find that only one out of two hundred fifty-six individuals in your F2 population resembles the homozygous recessive parent. How many genes are involved in the trait you are studying? One Two Three Four Five
3. In dog coat color genetics, one gene locus, the A locus, has a dominant allele (AS, which gives hairs that are solid black, and aw, which is agouti (a wolf-like gray). The B locus is responsible for the difference in color between black (B-) and brown or chocolate (bb) Labradors. Labrador dogs come in a yellow coat color. Set up a simple cross that falsify the idea of the 3 colors of Labrador dogs being due to a simple multiallelic series, with black dominant to brown which is dominant to yellow.

4.Eyelash length is an inherited trait. In the human population, there is an eyelash length gene. There are two possible variants of this gene—an allele for long eyelashes (> 1cm) and an allele for short eyelashes (1 cm or less). The allele for long eyelashes is dominant (L) and the allele for short eyelashes is recessive (l). An individual who is heterozygous for eyelash length would have which of the following genotypes? A.Short eyelashes B.Ll C.LL D.Long eyelashes
