Length of fur in guinea pigs is due to a dominant trait, while short-haired guinea pigs are due to a recessive trait. Can two homozygous recessive parents produce a short-haired offspring? Why or why not? Show all work for credit!
In humans, the ability to smell hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is inherited as a recessive trait (h = can smell HCN, H = cannot smell HCN). A woman, a man, and their biological child are all standing in a room. The child can smell the HCN but the parents cannot. 1.) What is the genotype of the child? 2.) What are the possible phenotypes of the parents?
About 7% of men in a population are red-green colour blind due to a sex-linked recessive gene. Assuming random mating in the population with respect to colour blindness. What percentage of men would be colour blind in the next generation? ALL WORKING MUST BE SHOWN
Select all true statements about dominate alleles. A) Dominant alleles are stronger than recessive alleles B) Dominant alleles are always the most common allele in a population C) Dominant alleles can be hidden D) Dominant alleles code for functioning proteins E) Dominant alleles can mask the presence of a recessive allele
Human (and fly) males are said to be hemizygous for a(n) ________ trait. Responses recessive recessive incomplete dominant incomplete dominant sex-linked
This exercise is designed to give you some practice with Punnett squares and Mendel's principals of inheritance. Melanin is a chemical pigment produced in our body that contributes greatly to our skin, eye, and hair pigmentation -it also relates to color of fur, feathers, and such in animals. In general, the more melanin that is produced, the darker the color. A few genes contribute to the type and amount of melanin that is produced. Most people produce melanin in their skin, because it helps protect against the damages caused by the sun. This is why people tan. There is, however, a particular set of recessive alleles that cause a person to produce little or no melanin, and we refer to this as albinism. An animal or person who has little or no melanin is referred to as albino, and this can manifest in hair, skin, and eyes. For humans, this can be a rather dangerous condition as albinos are far more susceptible to sun damage, particularly cancer. In this exercise, the alleles are as…
A color-blind man fathers children with a woman who is not color-blind, but whose father was. What proportion of their male children are expected to colorblind? 50% of their sons will be color-blind 100% of their sons will be color-blind 0% of their sons will be color-blind
The human traits described above are said to be controlled by a single gene. Using the character “earlobe attachment”, perform a genetic cross between a heterozygous mother and a homozygous recessive father. Use a Punnet Square following this gene notation: E for dominant allele; e for recessive allele
Dominant Traits. A couple is going to have a baby. They are concerned about Huntington's Diseases, which results from having a dominant copy of the Huntington allele ("H"). Homozygous recessive individuals ("hh") are not affected. Thus, having one dominant version of the gene results in an affected phenotype. The woman is not affected, but the man is. What alleles does mom have? What alleles does that have? Make a punnett square
Hi, I'm having some trouble with this practice problem from my study guide. If anyone can explain it it would be very helpful! Brindle coloration is a black and brown striping pattern in some dogs. This fur coloration is controlled by different alleles at a single autosomal locus. There are three alleles, KB, kbr and ky. The KB allele is dominant over the other two alleles and produces a solid black color. The allele kbr produces the brindle color pattern and is dominant over the ky allele, which produces yellow fur. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in each cross. P: black X yellow; F1: ½ brindle and ½ black P: black X brindle; F1: ½ black, ¼ brindle and ¼ yellow P: brindle X yellow; F1: 100% brindle
Put your thumb up (i.e., the “thumbs up” hand signal). Hypothetically (but not actually), if your thumb is bent then you exhibit the dominant phenotype, and if it is straight then you exhibit the recessive phenotype. Write your phenotype and all of your possible genotype(s) using the correct genetic terminology (do not just write letters like “Ee”). Next, if you had children with someone who showed the dominant phenotype, could these children show the recessive phenotype? Why or why not?
