From the pedigree shown here, answer the following questions with regard to individual VII-1. A. Who are the common ancestors of her parents? B. What is the inbreeding coefficient for this individual?
Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?

Using appropriate symbols, determine the phenotypes expected in the progeny of a cross between anorange female and a black male.c. Half the females produced by a certain kind of matingare calico, and half are black; half the males are orange,and half are black. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?d. Another kind of mating produces progeny in thefollowing proportions: one-fourth orange males, onefourth orange females, one-fourth black males, and onefourth calico females. What colors are the parental malesand females in this kind of mating?
In poultry, two independently assorting genes together determine the structure of the comb. Thus, when R is the only dominant allele present, the fowl possesses a rose comb; when P is only dominant allele present, a ‘pea’ comb is produced; when both dominants are present, a ‘walnut’ comb is produced; when only the recessive alleles are present, a ‘single’ comb is obtained. (a) What are the possible genotypes of all the phenotypes obtainable? Determine the genotype of the parent birds in the following crosses: (b) Rose x walnut produced 3/8 walnut, 3/8 rose, 1/8 rose, 1/8 pea and 1/8 single offspring. (c) Walnut x single produced ¼ walnut and ¼ pea, ¼ rose and ¼ single offspring (d) Rose x pea produced 6 walnut and 5 rose offspring.
In classical Mendelian genetics, how can one check the genotype of a parent (A) expressing the characters of a dominant allele? Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.

While studying the genetics of the "Cute Faced Bat" face structure gene, three alleles ) are identified that produce 6 genotypes and 4 phenotypes “Cute”, “Super Cute Nose”, “Super Cute Face”, and “Super, Duper Cute” (equally expressing both Super Cute Face and Super Cute Nose). Given these observations, what can you conclude about the allele interactions?
One particularly useful feature of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is that it allows us to estimate the frequency of heterozygotes for recessive genetic diseases, assuming that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exists. As an example, let’s consider cystic fibrosis, which is a human genetic disease involving a gene that encodes a chloride transporter. Persons with this disorder have an irregularity in salt and water balance. One of the symptoms is thick mucus in the lungs that can contribute to repeated lung infections. In populations of Northern European descent, the frequency of affected individuals is approximately 1 in 2500. Because this is a recessive disorder, affected individuals are homozygotes. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of individuals who are heterozygous carriers?
Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
