Monohybrid Problems llustrating Codominance 5. Another type of monohybrid 'inheritance involves the expression of both phenotypes in the heterozy- gous situation. This is called codominance. One well-known example of codominance occurs in the coat color of Shorthorn cattle. Those with reddish-gray roan coats are heterozygous (RR'), and result from a mating between a red (RR) Shorthorn and one that's white (R'R'). Roan cattle don't have roan-colored hairs, as would be expected with incom- plete dominance, but rather appear roan as a result of having both red and white hairs. Thus, the roan col- oration is not a consequence of pigments blending in each hair. Because the R and R' alleles are both fully expressed in the heterozygote, they are codominant. a. If a roan Shorthorn cow is mated with a white bull, what will be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the F, generation? genotypic ratio . phenotypic ratio - b. List the parental genotypes of crosses that could produce at least some white offspring roan offspring

Equalizing the Expression of X Chromosome Genes in Males and Females Individuals with an XXY genotype are sterile males. If one X is inactivated early in embryogenesis, the genotype of the individual effectively becomes XY. Why will this individual not develop as a normal male?
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits The X and Y chromosomes are structurally and genetically distinct. However, they do pair during meiosis at a small region near the tips of their short arms, indicating that the chromosomes are homologous in this region. If a gene lies in this region, will its pattern of transmission be more like that of a sex-linked gene or an autosomal gene? Why?

Inheritance regarding two un+linked genes, two loci with separate alleles from the mother, and two alleles from the father that results in an organism's genotype for those specific genes. A hereditary disease exists among humans called phenylketonuria, which is an autosomal recessive mutant allele. The father is homozygous for this condition where the mother is a carrier. The father is also bow-legged and heterozygote for this trait where the mother has straight legs. a.) show parents genotype for these two traits b.) Their first child was a daughter with straight legs and phenylketonuria. What was the probability for that to occur? c.) What was the probability that her future siblings were to be a brother and a sister (no particular order of sex) who are carriers of the disease and the brother to be bow-legged whilst the sister having straight legs? d.)

Recessive epistasis: In a cross between fruit flies that are both double heterozygous for modifier gene and coat color, in the total offspring of 192, how many fruit flies have gray- coat, white coat, and black coat? A recessive allele blocks the expression of the coat color of fruit flies. Show your answer and solution.
Co- Dominance1) In cattle, the alleles for red coat (R) and white coat (W) behave as the co-dominants. Both red and white hairs are produced in the heterozygote producing a coat pattern that is called "roan." a) Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios to be expected among the offspring from a cross of two roan animals. b) What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios from a cross of a roan animal and a white one?
