In one species of finch, there are alleles for yellow color and red color, but neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a finch of this species has both of these alleles, its color is orange. If an orange finch is bred with a yellow finch, the phenotypes of the offspring will occur in what ratio? (Hint: Construct a Punnett square to help you answer this question.) A 1:1 ratio of yellow and orange A 1:2:1 ratio of yellow, orange, and red A 1:3 ratio of red and yellow A 1:1 ratio of orange and red In this species of finch, the alleles for color are an example of codominace or imcomplete dominance?

In a species of dog, plaid color is represented by P and purple by p, short -tailed is T and long-tailed is t. What are the genotypes of a male who is purple with a long tail, and a female who is homozygous dominant for both traits? Which answer below is true? PpTT & PPTT pptt & PPTT short-tailed purple & long tailed plaid male: purple w/ long tail & female: plaid w/ short tail
In some bizarre-feathered chickens, F is the trait for frizzled feathers while S is the trait for straight feathers. Since both traits are appears to be dominant, what proportion of the offspring would likely show straight feathers? Construct the punnet square and indentify the following: Parents’ genes? Parents’ traits? Genes (genotype)? Feather type? (phenotype)? Genotypic ratio? Phenotypic ratio?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
In a population of beans that is mostly diploid, there are an assortment of them: black, white, orange, red, green, fuchsia, brown, yellow. What is the maximum number of alleles present in one bean?
Given that there is a trait determined by the alleles A and a, where A is dominant, i.e., the presence of A determines the phenotype. Assume that two parents have four children, and assume that nothing is known about the parents. One of the four children shows the recessive condition (so its genotype is aa) and the other three show the dominant trait (so their genotype is either Aa or AA). What can we conclude about the parents? Group of answer choices - at least one parent shows the dominant trait - Both parents are heterozygous - Both parents have at least one recessive allele
Use the following information to answer the next two questions.In cattle, a polled or hornless trait (P) is dominant over a horned trait(p).A polled bull mated with three different cows, and the following calves were born in the spring. Cow Phenotype F1 Generation Phenotype Cow 1 - Horned Calf 1 - Horned Cow 2 - Polled Calf 2 - Horned Cow 3 - Polled Calf 3 - Polled Which of the following rows correctly identifies the genotypes of the cattle? Select one: a. Bull - Pp Calf 2 - pp b. Cow 3 - Pp Calf 3 - pp c. Cow 2 - pp Calf 1 - Pp d. Cow 1 - pp Bull - PP
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 Labrador dogs, coat color is controlled by the genotypes of two genes. In one gene, the dominant allele, B, produces black fur, and the recessive allele, b, produces brown fur. However, if a second gene possesses two recessive alleles, ee, the dog produces yellow fur, regardless of the genotype of the first gene. If two dogs that are heterozygous for both genes, BbEe mated, what would be the frequency of the three phenotypes, black, brown, and yellow?
In humans, the alleles for unattached earlobes is dominant over the allele for attached earlobes. The allele for dark hair dominates the allele for light hair. If both parents are heterozygous for earlobe attachment and hair color, what types of offspring can they produce, and what is the probability for each type?
IN TRANSYLVANIA, SOME PEOPLE EXHIBIT TWO UNUSUAL TRAITS IN WHICH THEY HAVE VERY LONG FRONT TEETH AND THE INABILITY TO BE AWAKE WHEN THE SUN IS UP. BOTH OF THESE TRAITS APPEAR TO BE RECESSIVE. IF A WOMAN WHO IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TEETH AND HOMOZYGOUS NORMAL FOR BEING IN THE SUN MARRIES A MAN WHO HAS BOTH THESE TRAITS, WHAT COULD BE THE PHENOTYPES AND GENOTYPES OF THEIR CHILDREN? USE A PUNNET SQUARE AND SHOW ALL WORK. LIST THE RATIOS FOR THE GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES.
In Vulcans, black hair and pointy ears are dominant traits. Pollar has black hair but rounded ears. Damak, his mate, has red hair and pointed ears.

Use EE or Ee for pointed ears and BB or Bb for black hair and answer the following: What is Pollar’s genotype? Group of answer choices a. BbEe b. Bbee e. BBee d. BBEe
