In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomalmultiple alleles. Red–green color blindness is a recessiveX-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normalvision produce a son who is color-blind and type O, what isthe probability that their next child will be a female who has normalvision and is type O?
A cross was made between a white male dog and two different blackfemales. The first female gave birth to eight black pups, and the second female gave birth to four white and three black pups. What arethe likely genotypes of the male parent and the two female parents?Explain whether you are uncertain about any of the genotypes
There is an autosomal gene in cats that controls whether or not they also have white patches of fur (W = white spots, w= no white spots). Considering this along with the Orange gene (O0 and OB) from the previous question, and how it works, how many possible genotypes (using these 4 alleles) are there for cats that are orange, black, and white (in other words, calico)?
In a dihybrid cross of two bi-allelic Mendelian genes, A (two alleles – completely dominant A and recessive a), and B (two alleles – completely dominant B and recessive b), such that the parental generation comprises of pure-bred homozygotes (i.e. AABB with aabb), what are the expected genotype and phenotype ratios in the F1 and F2, if the F1 cross is (a) an intercross and if the F1 cross is (b) a testcross
In the multiple-allele series that determines coat color inrabbits, c+ encodes agouti, cch encodes chinchilla (a beigecoat color), and ch encodes Himalayan. Dominance is inthe order c+ > cch > ch. In a cross of c+/cch × cch/ch, whatproportion of progeny will be chinchilla?
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. what are the possible genotypes of the children?
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
Joan was born with six toes on each foot, a dominanttrait called polydactyly. Two of her five siblings and hermother, but not her father, also have extra digits. Whatis Joan’s genotype for the number-of-digits character?Explain your answer. Use D and d to symbolize the allelesfor this character.
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
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.
In humans, free ear lobes (E) is dominant over attached ear lobes (e), and brown eyes (B) is dominantover blue eyes (b). A man with free ear lobes and brown eyes marries a woman with attached ear lobes andbrown eyes. Of four children, one has free ear lobes and brown eyes, one has free ear lobes and blue eyes,one has attached ear lobes and brown eyes, and one has attached ear lobes and blue eyes. Determine thegenotypes of the parents.
