All of the following statements aboutinheritance are true, except one. Which one of the following statements is INCORREC O All genes have two alleles: one dominant and one recessive. Some phenotypes arise from the interaction of more than one gene. O Incomplete dominance is when heterozygotes express a phenotype that appears to be a blend between the phenotypes of homozygotes. O Even If you know the genotypes of both parents, you cannot always know with certainty the genotype their child will have.

Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and homozygous dominant for Tay-Sachs. The female is homozygous recessive for Huntington’s disease and heterozygous for Tay-Sachs. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting Tay-Sachs and/or Huntington’s. For humans, Huntington’s disease is dominant (H) over the “normal” condition (h), and the “normal” condition is dominant (T) over Tay-Sachs (t). Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.
Which of the following traits are complete dominance, incomplete dominance, X-linked, or sex-linked? Tongue Rolling (R or r) Cleft Chin (V or v)Dimpled Cheeks (G or g)Widow's Peak (W or w) Lobed Ears (L or l)Hair Form (C or C') Red Hair (T or t)Dominant Eye (E or e)Index vs. Ring Finger (F or F')Hitchhiker's Thumb (N or n)Arm Folding (A or a)
With regard to heterosis, is each of the following statements consistent with the dominance hypothesis, the overdominance hypothesis, or both? A. Strains that have been highly inbred have become monomorphicfor one or more recessive alleles that are somewhat detrimentalto the organism. B. Hybrid vigor occurs because highly inbred strains are monomorphicfor many genes, whereas hybrids are more likely to beheterozygous for those same genes.C. If a gene exists in two alleles, hybrids are more vigorousbecause heterozygosity for the gene is more beneficial thanhomozygosity of either allele.
tongue rolling (T) is dominant over non-tongue rolling (t). Right handedness (R) is dominantover left (r). A non-tongue rolling, left-handed woman marries a tongue rolling, right-handedman who is heterozygous for both traits. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of theoffspring?
Straight hair is dominant to curly hair. Which parents will give a 25% chance of having offspring with curly hair? One heterozygous straight and one homozygous curly. Two heterozygous straight hair, Two homozygous straight hair One homozygous curly and one homozygous straight
A. Tongue rolling (T) is dominant over non-tongue rolling (t). Right handedness (R) is dominant over left (r). A non-tongue rolling, left-handed woman marries a tongue rolling, right-handed man who is heterozygous for both traits. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? B. A tongue rolling, right-handed man marries a non-tongue rolling, right-handed woman. Their first child is non-tongue rolling and left- handed. What are the genotypes of the parents? Mom: Dad: C. A non-tongue rolling, right-handed man whose mother was left-handed marries a tongue rolling, right- handed woman whose mother was non-tongue rolling and left- handed. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children? D. In man, a certain type of deaf mutism is recessive. Let (D) be normal and (d) be deaf-mute. A normal, right-handed man married a normal, right-handed woman. They had a child who was a left-handed deaf-mute. What were the genotypes of the parents?…
What inheritance pattern results from alleles with incomplete dominance? There is a range of phenotypes such that the trait appears along a spectrum rather than "either or" There is a 3rd phenotype, often and intermediate value between the other 2 extremes The recessive phenotype is sex linked The recessive phenotype skips a generation
If an individual is homozygous dominant for a given allele (AA), what allele will be carried by that individual’s gametes? aa a A AA
In clover plants, the pattern on the leaves is determined by a single gene with multiple alleles that arerelated in a dominance series. The gene is not pleiotropic. Seven different alleles of this gene are known;an allele that determines the absence of a pattern isrecessive to the other six alleles, each of which produces a different pattern. All heterozygous combinations of alleles show complete dominance.a. How many different kinds of leaf patterns (including the absence of a pattern) are possible in a population of clover plants in which all seven allelesare represented?b. What is the largest number of different genotypesthat could be associated with any one phenotype?Is there any phenotype that could be represented byonly a single genotype?c. In a particular field, you find that the large majority of clover plants lack a pattern on their leaves,even though you can identify a few plants representative of all possible pattern types. Explain thisfinding.
In humans, the alleles for unattached earlobes is dominant over the allele for attached earlobes. The allele for dark hair dominates the allele for light hair. If both parents are heterozygous for earlobe attachment and hair color, what types of offspring can they produce, and what is the probability for each type?
Alleles that show incomplete dominance will represent: Choose oneAnswer: A . heterozygotes that have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles. B. homozygotes that have a genotype like the recessive allele C. homozygotes that have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles. D. heterozygotes that have a genotype like the dominant allele
