Part 1:Consider three autosomal genes (E, F and G) present in a hypothetical species. The E allele results in male development, the e allele results in female development while theheterozygote develops as a hermaphroditic, sterile individual. The genes at the F and G loci show complete dominance, with the dominant alleles producing long tails (F) and blackwhiskers (G), while the recessive alleles produce short tails and grey whiskers, respectively. You cross a male with a short tail and black whiskers with a female that has a long tail andblack whiskers. All the F1 individuals recovered have long tails, with some having black whiskers and others having grey whiskers.a) What is the sexual phenotype of the F1 offspring? ...b) Another batch of five offspring are expected from the same parents. What is the probability of the first offspring having a long tail and black whiskers?

Using Drosophila notation: A.) Diagram the genotype of a female fly that is recessive for apterus (ap, chromosome 2), heterozygous wild-type for black (b, chromosome 2), recessive for forked (f, x-chromosome), and homozygous wild type for rosy (ry, chromosome 3). B.) Diagram the genotype of a male fly that is heterozygous for clot (ct) eyes (an autosomal gene) and has yellow (y) body color (x-linked gene).
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…
EXAMPLE PROBLEM Two black female mice are crossed with a brown male. In several litters, female I produced 9 black offspring and 7 brown; female II produced 57 black offspring. What deductions can you make about the inheritance of black and brown coat color in mice? What are the genotypes of the parents? Dominance and recessive describe which of two possible phenotypes are exhibited when two different alleles occur in the same individual.
Sex determination in birds is different from that in humans. The sex chromosomes in birds are called Z and W, because males have two of the same chromosome (ZZ), whereas females have two different chromosomes (ZW). There is a Z-linked allele in some birds that causes the death of the embryo when the normal dominant allele is not present. What would be the sex ratio in the living offspring of a cross between a male heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female? A) What are the genotypes of the parents? Male____ Female____ B) Which gametes would each form? Male____ Female____ C) Draw your Punnett square below and determine the sex ratios of living offspring.
Drosophila have XX/XY sex determination systems just like mammals. In Drosophila, loci for both eye color and body color are on the X chromosome. Red eye color (R) is dominant to white eye color (r), and tan body color (T) is dominant to yellow body color (t). Which of the following is the genotype for a female with a yellow body and red eyes, who is homozygous for eye color? Group of answer choices XRT XrT XRt XRT XRt XRt XRt XRT
Part 1 - With use of Punnett diagrams discuss how the results of experiments carried out by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel on pea plants brought about the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent assortment. Part 2 - In humans, the gene that produces the disease Sickle Cell Anaemia is recessive to the gene for healthy haemoglobin production. a) How can two phenotypically healthy parents have a child who suffers from Sickle cell Anaemia? In your answer use suitable letters to show the genotypes of the parents and construct a Punnett diagram to show all the possibilities of the children's genotypes. b) Based on the outcome of your Punnett diagram, state and explain the probability of a child being a sufferer of Sickle Cell Anaemia and the probability of a child not suffering from the disease. c) If an individual who suffers from Sickle cell disease has a child with someone who is healthy (and not carrying the sickle cell gene), what is the probability that…

The inheritance of colour in domestic pigeons involves several genes. The dominance hierarchy of three colour alleles is ash-red > blue-black > brown (ZA > ZB > Zb ).These colours are carried on the Z sex chromosome. Unlike humans, female pigeons have two different sex chromosomes (Z and W) and males have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (ZZ). In birds, males have two Z sex chromosomes (ZZ) and females have one Z and one W sex chromosome (ZW). Since female birds have only one Z chromosome, they have only one copy of all Z-linked genes and they express the phenotype of the allele that they get.Barred is a sex-linked dominant trait in chickens. The barring allele causes white pigment in bars on a solid color producing an alternating pattern. The original solid color in the chickens below is black. The possible genotypes and their corresponding phenotypes are as follows: Genotype Gender Feather Phenotype ZBZB Male Barred ZBZb Male Barred ZbZb Male Black…
Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, occurs when there is a normal diploid chromosomal complement but one (extra) chromosome 21. While there is reduced fertility in both sexes, females have higher fertility than males. Van Dyke et al. (1995; Down Syndrome Research and Practice 3(2):65—69) summarize data involving children born of Down syndrome individuals. Given the fact that conceptuses with 48 chromosomes (four #21 chromosomes) are not likely to survive early development, what percentage of surviving offspring would be expected to have Down syndrome if both parents have Down syndrome All the children would be expected to have Down syndrome. One-third of the surviving offspring would be expected to have Down syndrome. Two-thirds of the surviving offspring would be expected to have Down syndrome. One-half of the surviving offspring would be expected to have Down syndrome.

A human with an X0 genotype (Turner syndrome) is phenotypically female. b. A human with an XXY genotype (Klinefelter syndrome) is phenotypically male. c.

In fruit flies, the dominant H allele gives rise to a hairless phenotype, hh gives rise to normal body bristles, and the HH homozygote condition is lethal during an embryonic stage. The presence of a dominant S allele suppresses the effect of the dominat H allele with respect to the body bristles phenotype such that normal body bristle phenotype is restored when only one dominant H allele is present (HH is lethal irrespective of the S or s alleles). The ss genotype has no effect over the H allele and the SS homozygote condition is also lethal during an embryonic stage. What would be the expected phenotypic outcomes among the surviving offspring from the following cross: HhSs X hhSs 2 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 7 normal body bristles: 2 hairless 1 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 3 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 5 normal body bristles: 1 hairless
