Calculate genotypes and phenotypes in sex-linked, sex-limited and sex-influenced traits The presence of a beard on some goats is determined by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. If we cross a beardless male with a bearded female, what is the probability of obtaining a bearded female in the offspring?

predict the possiblity of an offspring with a widows peak, a dominant inherited trait affecting the hairline, when both parents are heterozygous for the trait. Would this be 25%, 75%, 100% or 0% the offspring will have a widows peak?
An allele in Drosophila produces a star-eye trait in the heterozygous individual. However, the star-eye allele is lethal in homozygotes. What would be the ratio of phenotypes of survivingoffspring if star-eyed flies were crossed to each other?
The trait of feathering in fowls is a sex-limited trait controlled bya single gene. Females always exhibit hen-feathering, as do HHand Hh males. Only hh males show cock-feathering. Startingwith two heterozygous birds that are hen-feathered, explain howyou would obtain a true-breeding line that always produced cockfeathered males.
Thick eyebrows, E, is dominant to thin eyebrows, e. A male heterozygous for thick eyebrows conceives with a female with thin eyebrows. Calculate the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring. (Show all 5 steps)
In humans, free earlobes (E) are dominant to attached earlobes (e). An individual who is heterozygous for the earlobe trait mates with one who has attached earlobes. Write out the genotypes of both parents?
Suppose a man is heterozygous for heterochromia, an autosomal dominant disorder which causes two different‑colored eyes in an individual, produced 25‑offspring with his normal‑eyed wife. Of their children, 16 were heterochromatic and 9 were‑normal. Calculate the chi‑square value for this observation.
In human’s farsightedness is inherited by possession of a dominant allele A. If a man who is homozygous for normal vision aa marries a woman who is heterozygous for farsightedness Aa, what proportion of their children would be expected to be farsighted?
raccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also havethe habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all. a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table) b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food? Show COMPLETE cross.
Labrador retrievers may be black, brown, or golden in color (seethe chapter opening photograph on p. 53). Although each colormay breed true, many different outcomes occur if numerous littersare examined from a variety of matings, where the parentsare not necessarily true-breeding. The following results showsome of the possibilities. Propose a mode of inheritance that isconsistent with these data, and indicate the corresponding genotypesof the parents in each mating. Indicate as well the genotypesof dogs that breed true for each color.(a) black * brown ¡ all black(b) black * brown ¡ 1/2 black1/2 brown(c) black * brown ¡ 3/4 black1/4 golden(d) black * golden ¡ all black(e) black * golden ¡ 4/8 golden3/8 black1/8 brown(f) black * golden ¡ 2/4 golden1/4 black1/4 brown(g) brown * brown ¡ 3/4 brown1/4 golden(h) black * black ¡ 9/16 black4/16 golden3/16 brown
Skin color in humans is determined by a polygenic inheritance system, possibly involving as many as 9 genes. For simplicity let’s consider the influence of 2 genes: A and B, where the dominant allele darkens skin color. Suppose a woman who is AABb mates with a man who is Aabb. List all of the possible genotypes and the consequent ratios of the gametes that could be produced by the parents.

In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b.
