Question 4

A testcross is used to determine which of the following?

	a	The phenotype of an individual with a dominant genotype
	b	The phenotype of an individual with a recessive genotype
	c	The genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype
	d	The genotype of an individual with a recessive phenotype

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

Question:- Blood typing in human depends on three alleles .The IA and IB alleles are codominant and and the O{i} allele is recessive. An IA IB blood type mother has childern with a B blood type father ( Genotype (IBi). What are the chances that there childern will have AB blood type? a.50% b.100% c.25% d.75% e.0%
Question: This is a normal 3 point test cross, except that instead of regular phenotypes, you are looking at DNA markers on a gel. One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.
Question 1 What are the haploid genotypes of the gametes and frequencies/proportions of those gametes that can be formed in individuals of each of the following diploid genotypes? (DON’T do a cross. Just predict the different haploid gamete genotypes that could be produced by each diploid genotype below.) Proportions can be expressed in ratio form or fractional form. Dd Ee ff GG Mm Nn Rr ZZ
Question- QUESTION 1 Consider three linked genes: A, B, C. Percent recombination between gene B and C is 11% and no crossing over occurs between A and B. If a heterozygote in cis conformation is test crossed, what is the probability of an offspring with the genotype AaBbcc? A. 0.011 B. 0.055 C.0.022 D.0.089 E. 0.045
Question 2. A widow's peak hairline is a dominant trait and a straight hairline is a recessive trait. What will be the genotypes and phenotypes of children of a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent? a) Construct a Punnett Square - List gametes in the area with the dashed line and the genotypes of the offspring in the area with the sold line. b) Genotypes of Children-c) Phenotypes of children-
Question A child who is blood type A has a mother who is blood type B. In a paternity suit a man is accused of being the father. He has blood type AB. Is he the father? Yes No He cannot be excluded as the father. There is a 12.5% chance that he is the father. Question If a color-blind female has children, what do we know about all of her sons? It is impossible to know without knowing the father’s genotype. Half of the sons will be color-blind. All sons will have normal color vision. All sons will be color blind. Question What is true about sexual reproduction? Sexual reproduction produces a haploid zygote. Each parent contributes a haploid gene set to offspring. Sexual reproduction consists of mitosis only. Sexual reproduction involves the union of diploid gametes. Question Gametes of the heterogametic sex have different sex chromosomes; gametes of homogametic sex have the same sex…
Question: Suppose the progeny were crossed. Fill in the Punnett Squares below and answer the following questions. Seed Color Seed Shape R r A a In a pea plant experiment, the allele (R) producing yellow seed color is dominant, and the allele (r) producing green seed color is recessive. A homozygous recessive genotype would produce green seeds. Similarly, the allele (A) producing round seed shape is dominant to the allele (a) that produces wrinkled seed shape. A homozygous recessive genotype would produce wrinkled seeds. Both traits sort independently of each other. Given a pure-breeding cross between a round, green pea plant and a wrinkled yellow plant, complete the rest of the Punnett Squares below, and answer the following questions. R R A A RA Ra Ra ra
Question #1 a. Explain why there is a non-Mendelian 2:1 yellow/agouti phenotypic ratio in this cross. b. What is the Raly gene? What does it encode? How does it relate to the lethality of Ay? c. A heterozygous mouse AAy does not produce enough pigment and it is yellow. Homozygous individuals die during development, but AAy heterozygous do not. Why? You may use any graphic aid to explain this, if necessary. This means that you may use a Punnett square or a forking segregation diagram, or computations with fractions.
Labrador retriever's fur color is controlled by two alleles, E and B. Any dog with the ee genotype develops into a yellow lab, while B_E_ dogs become black labs and bbE_ dogs become chocolate labs. This is an example of.____ epistasis codominance incomplete dominance linkage

Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition.
