The F1 flies described in question 1 were mated with brown-eyed flies from a true-breeding line. What phenotypes would you expect the offspring to have? (a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
The long hair of Persian cats is recessive to the short hair of Siamese cats, but the black coat colour of Persians is dominant to the black-and-tan coat of the Siamese. a) If a true-breeding black long-haired Persian is mated with a true-breeding black-and-tan short-haired Siamese, what are the predicted phenotypes of the cats in the F1 generation? b) If two of the F1 generation cats are then mated, what is the chance of obtaining a long-haired black-and-tan cat in the F2 generation?

Given a cross between AabbCcDdEeFFGgHh x AaBbCcDdEEffggHH, a) how many possible gametes can the first individual produce? b) what proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? c) what proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? d) how many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
Normal pigmentation in humans is completely dominant to albinism. A couple who are both carriers for albinism decided to have children. a. Given that their first offspring normally pigmented, what is the probability that the child is a carrier? b. Considering the same genotypes of parents, what is the likelihood that three albino and two are normally pigments in a brood of five?
In humans, potential or expecting parents can be tested for the presence of the allele for the autosomal recessive cystic fibrosis. Which combination of parents are LEAST likely to produce a child with cystic fibrosis? A. 2 parents with cystic fibrosis B. 2 parents without cystic fibrosis C. 1 parent without cystic fibrosis and 1 with cystic fibrosis D. 2 parents who do not know if they have cystic fibrosis
In cats, long hair is recessive to short hair. A short-haired male is mated to a long-haired female. a) What are all possible genotypes of these two cats? b) What alleles will the gametes of each of these cats contain in their chromosomes?c) What will the kittens from all possible crosses between these two cats look like?d) Two cats are mated. One of the parent cats is long-haired. The litter which results contains two short-haired and three long-haired kittens. What length fur does the second parent have, and what is its genotype?Cats also have a locus (gene) for a character called agouti. In cats with agouti fur, pigment is unevenly distributed (see Fig. 1). The agouti allele is dominant to the allele for regular fur. A male cat who long haired and is heterozygous for agouti fur is crossed with a female who has regular, non-agouti fur and is homozygous for short fur. a) What are the genotypes of these cats? b) What are all of the possible allelic combinations in the gametes from each…
A couple who are about to get married learn from studying their family histories that, in both their families, theirunaffected grandparents had siblings with cystic fibrosis(a rare autosomal recessive disease).a. If the couple marries and has a child, what is theprobability that the child will have cystic fibrosis?b. If they have four children, what is the chance that thechildren will have the precise Mendelian ratio of 3:1 fornormal:cystic fibrosis?c. If their first child has cystic fibrosis, what is theprobability that their next three children will be normal?
In rats, black fur color is dominant to white fur color, and pointy ears are dominant to round ears. You cross a homozygous black, pointy eared rat to a homozygous white, round eared rat. You then Cross one of the F1 offspring to a homozygous white, round eared rat, and obtain the following progeny: 88 black, pointy eared rats; 92 white, round eared rats; 76 black, round eared rats; 81 white, pointy eared rats. Perform a chi-square test of independence to determine if the genes for fur color and ear shape are linked, or assort independently. Show all of your work.
The condition phenylketonuria is caused by a recessive allele. There are two carriers who have progeny.a. Give the gene notation. b. Give the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios. c. What is the probability that their child will be heterozygous if they have a normal child?d. What is the probability of having two affected children and one normal child if they have three children?
a)1 The allele for tall pea plants is dominant over the allele for short pea plants. If two heterozygous plants are crossed, what will the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be? b)2 Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers, and green pods are dominant over yellow pods in pea plants. What would the probability be of producing a pea plant with white flowers and yellow pods from parent plants that are heterozygous for each trait? c)3 Red eyes are dominant on fruit flies but an x-linked recessive allele will produce white-eyed flies. If a pure breeding red-eyed female mates with a white-eyed male, what is the probability of white eyes in the F1 generation?
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.
