In a population of martians the hair color (H= purple or h=green) and eye-color (E=red or e=yellow) are very close together on the same chromosome. One heterozygote male, who knows that his dad was homozygous dominant and his mom had green hair and yellow eyes is considering fertilizing a homozygous recessive female. How many green-haired yellow-eyed offspring (out of 16) would they expect to have?

Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome . To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness , their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters’ sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia 24 have neither of the traits , 1 has color blindness only and 1 has hemophilia only . how many centimorgans seperate the hemophilia locus from the locus of the color blindness.
Since the white‑eye trait is X‑linked recessive, what result would you expect when crossing a heterozygous red‑eyed female with a white‑eyed male? all red‑eyed progeny In each sex, half of the offspring will have red and half of the offspring will have white eyes. all red‑eyed females with half of the males having white and half of the males having red eyes all red‑eyed females and all white‑eyed males all red‑eyed males with half of the females having white and half of the females having red eyes
Hemophilia and colorblindness are both recessive conditions caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with the normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughter’s sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has colorblindness only, and one has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness? Show your analysis
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.
A genetic engineer is going to cross two watermelon plants to produce seeds for a spring planting. He is breeding for size, and wants to have as many watermelons with the phenotype for long shape as possible. In watermelons, the allele for short shape (R) is dominant to the allele for long shape (r). Would crossing a watermelon homozygous recessive for the trait with a watermelon heterozygous for the trait give the most long watermelons possible? Explain your answer using Punnett Squares.
In a certain type of pea plant, the gene for yellow color (Y) is dominant to the gene for green color (y), and the gene for round shape (R) is dominant to the gene for wrinkled shape (r). If a homozygous dominant plant is mated with a homozygous recessive plant (P-gen), what proportion in the F2 generation will be homozygous recessive? a) 1/4 b) 1/16 c) 3/4 d) 3/8
A sex-linked recessive allele rg causes a red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man. A. What genotypes are possible for the mother of the colorblind man? B. What are the chances that the first child from this marriage will be a colorblind boy? C. Of the girls born from this union, what proportion can be expected to be colorblind? D. Of all the children of these parents
If a pure breeding(homozygous) black(dominant), longhaired (recessive) cat is made of pure breeding Siamese, shorthaired cat, and one of their male offspring has made it to one of their female offspring, what is the chance of producing a Siamese colored shorthair kitten?
Consider the pedigree Figure1. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume that individuals that have married into the family do not carry the recessive gene for the trait. Figure1. Human pedigree showing four generations. Circles represent females, and squares represent males. Shaded circles and squares represent albino individuals. What is the probability of cousins 1 x 12 producing an albino offspring? 4 x 5? 2 x 14? 12 x 16? 7 x 15? 16 x 17?
In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
This is a modified question from the textbook, Campbell Biology in Focus (3rd edition), question #5 on page 256. A man with normal vision marries a woman with normal vision whose father was red-green color-blind (a recessive, sex-linked condition). Assuming that the woman's mother had normal vision and did not carry the recessive gene, what is the probability that the married couple will have a color-blind daughter? That their first son will be color-blind? That their second son will be color-blind? Include Punnett square for each question in your answer. You may find the below diagram helpful (the orange square means the individual has the phenotype of color-blindness, while the beige means the individual is a carrier of the mutated color-blind gene where XN and Xn represent dominant and recessive allele, respectively).
In humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?
