If you try to throw a basketball into a basket, the likelihood ofsucceeding depends on the size of the basket. It is more likely thatyou will get the ball into the basket if the basket is bigger. In yourown words, explain how this analogy applies to the idea that thelikelihood of crossing over is greater when two genes are far apartthan when they are close together?

An alien friend named Tukan has two sets of eyes, one setforward-looking and one set backward-looking, and smooth skin.His mate, Valco, lacks eyes but has skin covered with tiny hooksthat attract all sorts of debris. Tukan and Valco have thrived onearth and have had four children, all with no eyes and smoothskin. Typical of their ways, the children interbred and produced 32children of their own.. Under the models of inheritance proposed by Mendel, identifywhich alleles are dominant and which are recessive.. Provide gene symbols that would reflect the dominant–recessiveallelic relationships..Of the 32 children, how many would you expect to have two setsof eyes and smooth skin?
Huntington disease is a rare fatal, degenerative neurological disease in which individuals start to showsymptoms in their 40s. It is caused by a dominant allele. Joe, a man in his 20s, just learned that his fatherhas Huntington disease.a. What is the probability that Joe will also developthe disease?b. Joe and his new wife have been eager to start afamily. What is the probability that their first childwill eventually develop the disease?
Both members of a couple know that they are carriers of the cysticfibrosis allele. None of their three children has cystic fibrosis, but anyone of them might be a carrier. The couple would like to have a fourthchild but are worried that he or she would very likely have the disease,since the first three do not. What would you tell the couple? Would itremove some uncertainty from their prediction if they could find outwhether the three children are carriers?
What is meant by sayingthat in relation to a given traitconditioned by a gene withtwo different alleles thegametes are always “pure”?
In cats, a temperature-sensitive allele produces the Siamese phenotype, in which the cooler extremities are dark and the warmertrunk area is lighter. A Siamese cat that spends most of its timeoutside was accidentally injured in a trap and required severalstitches in its right front paw. The veterinarian had to shave the furfrom the paw and leg, which originally had rather dark fur. Later,when the fur grew back, it was much lighter than the fur on theother three legs. Do you think this injury occurred in the hot summer or cold winter? Explain your answer
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
Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify. What information can you provide the juryconcerning the allegation?
A man has attached earlobes, whereas his wife has freeearlobes. Their first child, a boy, has attached earlobes.a. If the phenotypic difference is assumed to be due totwo alleles of a single gene, is it possible that the geneis X linked?b. Is it possible to decide if attached earlobes aredominant or recessive?
The part that is missing is where the traits for things like colorblindness and hemophilia exist. This meansthat if you have XY chromosomes, you are missing alleles on one of the chromosomes. So whatever alleleis on your X is expressed regardless of if being dominant or recessive. These X-Linked Traits have a specialway to note the alleles.X-Linked alleles use X and Y as their base and then the allele that notates the trait is in the top, rightcorner. For instance: Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) XY with Hemophilia XhY XX withouth Hemophilia XHXh Notice that the female has two X’s so has 2 alleles. She is not a hemophiliac, but is carrying the trait.That means she can pass the trait to her offspring.Why don’t you cross those two parents here and find the outcome:Parents: Offspring: Genotypes:Phenotypes: Is there a chance of producing an XY offspring with hemophilia? Explain your answer Will…
Wooly hair is a rare dominant trait found in people of Scandinavian descent in which the hair resembles the wool of a sheep. Amale with wooly hair, who has a mother with straight hair, movesto an island that is inhabited by people who are not of Scandinavian descent. Assuming that no other Scandinavians immigrate tothe island, what is the probability that a great-grandchild of thismale will have wooly hair? (Hint: You may want to draw a pedigree to help you figure this out.) If this wooly-haired male haseight great-grandchildren, what is the probability that one out ofeight will have wooly hair?
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?
