A man has a roan bull and a white cow. His first 5 calves turned to be 2 roans and 3 white. Keeping in mind the fact that the roan is a color obtained when cattle are heterozygous for the gene for red and white, how frequently (probability of the phenotypes) would you expect such as a combination of offspring as that obtained in this case?

A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
One gene has alleles A and a. Another has alleles B and b. For each genotype listed, what type(s) of gametes can be produced? (Assume independent assortment occurs.) a. AABB b. AaBB c. Aabb d. AaBb
As it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progeny
A man who is red-green color-blind marries a woman who is neither color-blind nor a carrier for this trait. Which statement would best describe their probable offspring?
In shorthorn cattle, the genotype RR causes a red coat, the genotype rr causes a white coat, and the genotype Rr causes a roan coat. A breeder has red, white, and roan cows and bulls. What phenotypes might be expected in the progeny resulting from the following parental phenotypes, and in what proportions? a. red x roan; b. roan x roan.
If a pure breeding(homozygous) black(dominant), longhaired (recessive) cat is made of pure breeding Siamese, shorthaired cat, and one of their male offspring has made it to one of their female offspring, what is the chance of producing a Siamese colored shorthair kitten?
Red/green colour blindness is a sex-linked trait. Show the Punnett square for a father who is colour blind and a mother who is not colour blind and not a carrier. What are the genotype and phenotype percentages of the possible offspring? Why do they say that such traits “skip a generation?”
Gregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? A - 1/2B - 1/4C - 1/8D - 1/16
A cross between an orange-brown male and a homozygous black female produce four kittens. What is the phenotypic probability of the offspring? probability of the offspring?
