In a species of fish, the allele for long fins (F) is dominant over the allele for short fins (f). What will be the genotype and phenotype ratios for offspring do we get if we cross a long-finned homozygous male fish with heterozygous long-finned female fish? Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring?
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?
In rabbits, black hair depends on a dominant allele, B, and brown hair on a recessive allele, b. short hair is due to a dominant allele, S, and long hair to a recessive allele, s. If a true-breeding black short-haired male is mated with a brown long-haired female, describe their offspring. What will be the genotypes of the offspring? If two of these f1 rabbits are mated, what phenotypes would you expect among their offspring? In what proportions?
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.
The allele for hitchhiker’s thumb (h) is recessive to straight thumb (H). If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype? What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype? What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
In cats, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b). Also, striped fur (A) is dominant over solid colored fur (a). What is the phenotype of a cat with the genotype Bbaa? What combinations of gametes could the Bbaa cat make? If the Bbaa cat mated with a cat that was heterozygous for both the color and pattern genes, what fraction of their kittens would be likely to have solid brown fur? Hint: draw your square on a separate paper to figure it out.
discussion of how coat color and pattern are determined in dogs. a. Why are Irish setters not black in color? b. Can a poodle crossed with any other breed produce spotted puppies? Why or why not? c. If a St. Bernard is crossed with a Doberman, what will be the coat color of the offspring: solid, yellow, saddle, or bicolor? d. If a Rottweiler is crossed with a Labrador retriever, what will be the coat color of the offspring: solid, yellow, saddle, or bicolor?
Assume that in horses, black coat colour is dominant (B) to chestnut colour (b). The troting gait is due to a dominat allele (T), and the pacing gait is a recessive allele (t) a) If two Black trotting horses are mated and have for offsprings, all of which are black and pacing, what does that reveal about the probable genotype of the parent horses? b)A stud is black and trotting. He is mated with a mayor who is also black and trotting. Their colt is black and pacing. The same stud is mated to a second mare who is Chestnut and pacing. Their colt is Chestnut and trotting. What is the probable genotype(s) of the stud, mare 1, colt 1, and colt 2
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?
Albinism is the absence of pigment throughout the body. Animals with albinism have white fur and reddish eyes. Albinism is inherited as a recessive trait, so animals with two a alleles have albinism, whereas animals with at least one dominant A allele have normal coloring. Using the Punnett square below, determine the probability of two albino parents (with aa genotypes) producing a child with albinism.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is sex linked and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life.a. What is the probability that a woman whose brother has Duchenne’s disease will have an affected child?b. If your mother’s brother (your uncle) had Duchenne’s disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele?c. If your father’s brother had the disease, what is the probability that you have received the allele?
In certain species of flies, eye color is controlled by sim-·ple dominance by a single pair of alleles. A red-eyed fly was crossed with a white-eyed fly, both of whose parents had white eyes. All of their offspring (both female and male) had red eyes.a. Which is dominant, the allele for red eyesor the allele for white eyes?b. What is the genotype of the white-eyed parents?c. If the white-eyed parent was mated with one of the red-eyed offspring, what phenotypic ratio wouldyou expect regarding eye color?
