How does inbreeding increase the probabilities of recessive disorders? a. Carriers have an increased chance of reproducing together to produce a homozygous recessive condition b. Homozygous recessive individuals are more likely to live an reproduce when based within strong families c. Spontaneous mutations are increased when closely related organisms reproduce successively d. The probability that individuals who are homozygous recessive increase as the heterozygous conditions increase

IN TRANSYLVANIA, SOME PEOPLE EXHIBIT TWO UNUSUAL TRAITS IN WHICH THEY HAVE VERY LONG FRONT TEETH AND THE INABILITY TO BE AWAKE WHEN THE SUN IS UP. BOTH OF THESE TRAITS APPEAR TO BE RECESSIVE. IF A WOMAN WHO IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TEETH AND HOMOZYGOUS NORMAL FOR BEING IN THE SUN MARRIES A MAN WHO HAS BOTH THESE TRAITS, WHAT COULD BE THE PHENOTYPES AND GENOTYPES OF THEIR CHILDREN? USE A PUNNET SQUARE AND SHOW ALL WORK. LIST THE RATIOS FOR THE GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES.
Explain the term outbreeding.
In one species of finch, there are alleles for yellow color and red color, but neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a finch of this species has both of these alleles, its color is orange. If an orange finch is bred with a yellow finch, the phenotypes of the offspring will occur in what ratio? (Hint: Construct a Punnett square to help you answer this question.) A 1:1 ratio of yellow and orange A 1:2:1 ratio of yellow, orange, and red A 1:3 ratio of red and yellow A 1:1 ratio of orange and red In this species of finch, the alleles for color are an example of codominace or imcomplete dominance?
