n a container/tub, place 50 pieces ofred paper, 50 pieces of pink paper, and50 pieces of white paper. Let usassume that each color is thephenotypic expression of thegenotypes homozygous dominant AA(red), heterozygous Aa (pink), andhomozygous recessive aa (white).Without looking, randomly pick 20 pieces of paper from your container/tub and assumethat those individuals died upon picking, thus will be removed from your population. a. If you are a picky eater and prefer the white only, what do you think will happen in the genotypic frequency and allelic frequencies of the red, pink and white pieces of papers?
Professor John decided to breed bunnies during stay-at-home because why not. She performed the following cross:Parents:brown fur, gray nose x white fur, gray noseOffspring:3/8 white fur, gray nose1/8 white fur, white nose3/8 brown fur, gray nose 1/8 brown fur, white noseBased on the phenotypes of the offspring, what are the genotypes of the parents? Make sure you define your genotypes (ie B is brown fur, b is white fur)
In Figure 1-6, the students have 1 of 15 different heights,plus there are two height classes (4′11″ and 5′ 0″) forwhich there are no observed students. That is a total of17 height classes. If a single Mendelian gene can account for only two classes of a trait (such as purple orwhite flowers), how many Mendelian genes would beminimally required to explain the observation of 17height classes?
Human ABO blood groups are determined by a single gene with 3 alleles: A, B, and O. In a sample of 300 individuals, 100 are blood type A and genotype AA, 100 are blood type B and genotype BO, and 100 are blood type O and genotype OO. What are the allele frequencies?

A geneticist from an alien planet that prohibits genetic researchbrought with him two true-breeding lines of frogs. One frogline croaks by uttering “rib-it rib-it” and has purple eyes. Theother frog line croaks by muttering “knee-deep knee-deep” andhas green eyes. He mated the two frog lines, producing F1 frogsthat were all utterers with blue eyes. A large F2 generation thenyielded the following ratios: 27/64 blue, utterer12/64 green, utterer9/64 blue, mutterer9/64 purple, utterer4/64 green, mutterer3/64 purple, mutterer Question: How many total gene pairs are involved in the inheritance of both eye color and croaking?

The part that is missing is where the traits for things like colorblindness and hemophilia exist. This meansthat if you have XY chromosomes, you are missing alleles on one of the chromosomes. So whatever alleleis on your X is expressed regardless of if being dominant or recessive. These X-Linked Traits have a specialway to note the alleles.X-Linked alleles use X and Y as their base and then the allele that notates the trait is in the top, rightcorner. For instance: Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) XY with Hemophilia XhY XX withouth Hemophilia XHXh Notice that the female has two X’s so has 2 alleles. She is not a hemophiliac, but is carrying the trait.That means she can pass the trait to her offspring.Why don’t you cross those two parents here and find the outcome:Parents: Offspring: Genotypes:Phenotypes: Is there a chance of producing an XY offspring with hemophilia?

In man, there is gradation in eye color and resulting to 9 phenotypes. These are (in order of the number of additive alleles): light blue, medium blue, dark blue, gray, green, hazel, light brown, medium brown, dark brown. Mr. A (dark brown eyes) and Mrs. A’s (light blue eyes) daughter, marries a man whose genotype is the same as herself. What is the probability that they could have: Dark brown eyed child? Hazel-eyed? What eye color is most likely to occur and what is its probability?
