A woman who is heterozygous, Bb, has brown eyes; B (brown) isthe dominant allele, and b (blue) is recessive. One of her eyes,however, has a patch of blue color. Give three different explanationsfor how this might have occurred?
Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in which affected people produce black urine. Alkaptonuria results from an allele (a) that is recessive to the allele for normal metabolism (A). Sally has normal metabolism, buther brother has alkaptonuria. Sally’s father has alkaptonuria, and her mother has normal metabolism. Q. If Sally marries a man with alkaptonuria, what is the probability that their first child will have alkaptonuria?
In a particular human family, John and his motherboth have brachydactyly (a rare autosomal dominant allele causing short fingers). John’s father hasHuntington disease (another rare autosomal dominant allele). John’s wife is phenotypically normaland is pregnant. Two-thirds of people who inheritthe Huntington (HD) allele show symptoms by age50, and John is 50 and has no symptoms.Brachydactyly is 90% penetrant.a. What are the genotypes of John’s parents?b. What are the possible genotypes for John? Howlikely is John to have each of these genotypes?c. What is the probability the child will express bothbrachydactyly and Huntington disease by age 50 ifthe two genes are unlinked?d. How will your answer to part (c) change if insteadthese two loci are 20 m.u. apart?
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is sex-linked and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life. If your mother's brother (your uncle) had Duchenne's disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele? Show the solution through pedigree analysis.

In pea plants, having yellow peas (Y) is dominant over having green peas (y). If you had a yellow pea plant, what genotype(s) could it have? you can chose multiple. A. YY B. Yy C. yy
Gregor Mendel was a critical contributor to our understanding of inheritance today. In his experiments, he tracked seven visual traits of pea plants and ensured that they produced offspring identical to themselves. What are the terms that we used to identify two separate factors? a. genotype; true breeding b. genotype; cross breeding c. phenotype; true breeding d. phenotype; cross breeding
The allele for red feather pigeons, b^+, is dominant to the allele for brown feathers, b. A red pigeon who had a red parent and a brown parent is mated with a brown pigeon. - I’m supposed to write the genetic model, show the cross that produced the red pigeon( from a red and brown parent) and fill in the Min. Genotypes for all individuals. Did I do this correctly?
In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). Show punnet squares In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype? If you carried out this test cross (from 2, using the F1 from 1), what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation of the cross in point 1?
Which of the following does not cause a modification of Mendelian ratios? a. Sex-linked inheritance b. Multiple alleles C. None d. Maternal inheritance
