- In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a “wild card” that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for example, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect coat color in Duroc pigs. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for coat color. Genotypes of the form A– B– are red, those of the form A– bb and aa B– are sandy, and genotype aa bb is white. What ratio of red:sandy:white is expected from the cross Aa Bb x Aa Bb?On the planet Kermit, in the Muppet population, there are two autosomal loci of interest. The first locus has alleles A and a, and the second locus has alleles B and b. A and B are the dominant alleles at the respective loci. The loci act in an epistatic manner, identical to the way two genes interact to produce coat color in labradors. The phenotype here is muppet hair color. We have the following results: Muppet hair color as a function of two-locus genotypes Two-locus genotype Muppet hair color A_B_ Cookie monster blue aaB_ Elmo red __bb Janice blonde If two doubly-heterozygous Cookie-monster blue-haired muppets mate, and produce 3200 children, which of the follow values most closely represents the expected number of Elmo red-haired offspring? The answer allows for random variation in hair color. A. 1536 B. 672 C. 1242 D. 200 E. 549Consider the following scenario: A man without freckles (freckles are a dominant trait, determined by the dominant allele “F”) is a carrier of cystic fibrosis (recall that CF is a recessive trait, determined by the recessive allele "a"), mates with a woman whose genotype is heterozygous for freckles and is also a carrier of CF. Assume the two genes in question are in different chromosomes and, therefore, assort independently. Complete the following Punnett square to generate the offspring probabilities from this couple, by entering the genotypes of the parents, the gametes, and the offspring for the two traits described above. (4) Father’s genotype ffAa Mother’s genotypeFfAa ● Sperm: fA ● Sperm: fa ● Sperm: fA ● Sperm: fa ● Egg: FA ● Egg: fA ● Egg: Fa ● Egg: fa What is the probability for this couple to have a child with freckles?

- A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.As it turned out, one of the tallest Potsdam Guards had an unquenchable attraction to short women. During his tenure as guard, he had numerous clandestine affairs. In each case, children resulted. Subsequently, some of the childrenwho had no way of knowing that they were relatedmarried and had children of their own. Assume that two pairs of genes determine height. The genotype of the 7-foot-tall Potsdam Guard was A9A9B9B9, and the genotype of all of his 5-foot clandestine lovers was AABB. An A9 or B9 allele in the offspring each adds 6 inches to the base height of 5 feet conferred by the AABB genotype. a. What were the genotypes and phenotypes of all the F1 children? b. Diagram the cross between the F1 offspring, and give all possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 progeny
- In humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.An individual with a form of red-green color blindness processes a genetically inherited trait that makes it difficult to distinguish red and green color hues. Red-green color blindness tends to skin generations and it is found much more often in men than in women. If a man who was normal and a woman who is a carrier for this form of colorblindness have a child, when the probability that the child will be red-green colorbind is: -0% -25% -50% -75% -100%The correct answer is : codominance and incomplete penetrance because in codominance, heterozygotes express both alleles equally, so heterozygotes will have two phenotypes, both visible. In incomplete penetrance, some individuals with a particular genotype have a phenotype that does not match their genotype. The ratio shown suggests that not all heterozygotes have the splotchy phenotype normally expected and instead have the dominant brown phenotype.
- A) what are the genotypes for EB27 and EB67? B) what is the relationship between the three alleles (B,br, y)? Show evidence using the pedigreeSuppose a mutant fruit fly with blue eyes was recently discovered. It is later determined that the blue eye trait is recessive to the wild-type red eye trait. What is the most common way to represent the mutant and wild-type alleles?. Choices are Mutant: Bl, bl Wild-type: Bl+ , re, bl+, or wtA is a dominant gene for normal pigment, and a is its recessive allele for albinism (and pink eyes). B is a dominant gene for brown eyes, and b is its recessive allele (blue). What is the mother's genotype if two brown-eyed parents have fraternal twins, one with blue eyes and one with pink eyes (albino)? a. AaBb b. AaBB c. aaBb d. aabb e. AABB
