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.
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.)
6. Consider that people with blue eyes must have two alleles for blue eyes since blue eye color is a recessive trait. A blue-eyed person and a brown-eyed person have an offspring with blue eyes. The brown-eyed person must A. have two alleles for blue eyes. B. have two alleles for brown eyes. C. not have the dominant brown eye allele. D, have one allele for blue eyes and one allele for brown eyes.
3) The ability to curl ones’ tongue up on the sides (T) is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue (t). a. A woman who can roll her tongue marries a man who cannot. The first child has the same phenotype as the father, what are the genotypes of the mother, father, and this child? b. What is the probability that the second child won’t be able to roll it’s tongue?
1. An albino man whose parents are both normal marries a woman ome of whose parents is normal and the other albino. She has an albino sister. The couple has a normal son. a.Is albinism a dominant or a recessive trait? Explain your answer B. Give genotypes of all the persons involved. C.The couple plans to have more kids. What is the probability of their second child being normal
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
7. The ability to roll your tongue (R) is dominant to lack of this ability (r). A. What is the genotype of a man who can roll his tongue if his father couldn’t? B. If a man who is heterozygous for tongue rolling marries a woman who is heterozygous, what would you predict for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?
1.) A long neck yellow giraffe (T t Y y) mates with a tall neck orange giraffe (T t y y). What is the percent chance their offspring would be have a short neck and orange? 2.) In humans, cataracts in the eyes and fragility of the bones are caused by dominant alleles that assort independently. A man with cataracts and normal bones marries a woman without cataracts but with fragile bones. The man’s father had normal eyes, and the woman’s father had normal bones a.) What are the genotypes of the man and the woman? b.) What is the probability that their first child will? (1) be free of both abnormalities (2) have cataracts but not have fragile bones (3) have fragile bones but not have cataracts (4) have both cataracts and fragile bones 3.) In corn plants, two pairs of genes control color in the ears of corn. The following genotypes result in various…
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
1.) Consider flower color in a hypothetical population of 7,000 flowers, red flowers (4,000), blueflowers (2,000) are dominant over pink flowers. If there are 1,000 pink flowers, find thefollowing:a. Frequency of dominant (red flower) alleleb. Frequency of recessive (pink flower) allelec. Frequency of each genotype (homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive,heterozygous)d. Make a Punnett square and use the rule of multiplication.
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. In a particular bird species, the tips of the feathers are tinged with blue, white, or silver. The BB genotype calls for blue-tipped feathers. The WW genotype calls for white-tipped feathers. The BW genotype calls for an intermediate with silver-tipped feathers. A mating occurs between a blue-tipped bird and a white-tipped bird. What types of offspring would be expected? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring and the probability of each. 2. The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each. 3. In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. When a cat with a…
