(a) What is the similarity between type A and AB blood groups? (b) If the dominant allele of a trait is defined with ‘E’ and the recessive trait is defined with ‘e’, what will be the homozygous dominant allele combination of the trait? (c) What is a dihybrid cross?
In humans, the allele for brown (B) eye color is dominant to the allele which causes blue (b) eyes. If a brown-eyed man, whose father had blue eyes marries a brown-eyed woman and the first baby of this couple has blue eyes, answer: What is the genotype of the man? What is the Genotype of the woman? What is the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio among all possible children?
Based on the observed inheritance pattern and ratio of phenotypes, what are the genotypes of the affected children? Select an answer and submit it. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are c-/c-. b) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/C. c) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/c-. d) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C.
In humans, the allele for short fingers is dominant over that for long fingers. If a person with short fingers had one parent with long fingers and marries a person with long fingers, what are the chances for each biological child to have short fingers?. Show a punnet square.
In a trait that follows Mendelian rules of inheritance, what is the only way an organism can have the recessive phenotype? A. By having the homozygous recessive genotype B. By being heterozygous for that genotype C. It is not possible to get the recessive phenotype in Mendelian genetics D. If one parent is homozygous recessive for that trait, any offspring are guaranteed the recessive phenotype E. By being homozygous dominant for that genotype
If an individual is heterozygous for a gene with two alleles, one dominant and one recessive, what would the phenotype be?
Read the following family history and draw a pedigree to determine the inheritance pattern for achondroplasia. Once the pedigree is assembled , label the genotypes of each individual using a capital "A to represent the dominant allele and a lower case "a " to represent the recessive allele and create a key to identify which version is the achondroplasia allele. If you are unsure of the genotype , label the individual with a "" in place of the unknown allele. Family History : Jada and Noel , both of short stature, have been married for twenty years. They have three children : an eighteen - year-old boy named Shawn , of short stature ; a fifteen- year- old boy named John , of short stature ; and a twelve -year -old girl named Ann , of average height Noel and Jada also had a male child bom with severe achondroplasia who died six months after birth from respiratory failure . Noel's father was of short stature , while his mother was average height . Noel has a brother and a…
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.
Humans can have one of four possible blood types: O, A, B, and AB. A young man has type AB blood and his sister has type O blood. What are their genotypes and the genotypes of the parents?
In pedigrees, individuals are usually specified by using a Roman numeral for their generation in the chart and an Arabic number for their position (reading left to right) within that generation. If we use the letter c for the allele that causes cystic fibrosis, what are the genotypes of individuals III-3 and III-4 (the third and fourth individuals shown in generation III) in the pedigree that shows this disease?
In guinea pigs, an allele for rough fur (R) is dominant over an allele for smooth fur (r), and an allele for black coat (B) is dominant over an allele for white fur (b). What would be the genotype of a guinea pig with smooth black fur?
Define the difference between (a) gene and allele, (b) dominant allele and recessive allele, (c) homozygote and heterozygote, and (d) genotype and phenotype.
