Genetics Problems. Show your crosses. It must contain: (a) parental genes, (b) genotypic ratio, (c) phenotypic ratio, (d) hybrid cross and (e) other answer needed in the question. A. Let us consider two sex-influenced traits simultaneously, pattern baldness and short index finger, both of which are dominant in men and recessive in women. A heterozygous bald man with long index finger marries a heterozygous long-fingered, bald woman. Determine the phenotypic expectations for their children.

D) Genetics Problem show the table and word In certain breeds of chickens, the allele "B" is responsible for black feathers whereas the contrasting allele "b" produces feathers that are white. Another r pair of alleles influences the shape of the feathers. "F" produces straight feathers whereas the contrasting gene for "f results in the frizzled condition. Give the genotypic and phenotypic ratios to be expected from the following cross: white, frizzled hen with a heterozygous black, homozygous straight rooster. Genotypic Ratio: Phenotypic Ratio:

The Mendelian pattern of inheritance is a general term that refers to any pattern of inheritance in which traits do not segregate in accordance with Mendel’s lawsII. As an example, a characteristic may be controlled by one gene with two alleles, but the two alleles have a same relationship like the simple dominant-recessive relationship a.

Co- Dominance1) In cattle, the alleles for red coat (R) and white coat (W) behave as the co-dominants. Both red and white hairs are produced in the heterozygote producing a coat pattern that is called "roan." a) Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios to be expected among the offspring from a cross of two roan animals. b) What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios from a cross of a roan animal and a white one?

Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits Suppose a couple, both phenotypically normal, have two children: one unaffected daughter and one son affected with a genetic disorder. The phenotype ratio is 1:1, making it difficult to determine whether the trait is autosomal or X-linked. With your knowledge of genetics, what are the genotypes of the parents and children in the autosomal case? In the X-linked case?
