In unicorns that normally have white manes, a recessive allele that is responsible for a pink mane (w) is linked to another recessive allele (l) which causes a short horn. In a test cross of white-maned unicorns with long horns the following phenotypes were observed: White mane; long horn 467 White mane; short horn 33 Pink mane; long horn 27 Pink mane; short horn 473 Total 1000 Calculate the chi-square value χ2. Your “null hypothesis” is that the genes are not linked.

Kernel color in wheat is controlled by 2 pairs of genes (AABB). Determine the color of the offspring with the following genotypes: (Note: 4 contributing alleles – red; 3 contributing alleles – medium red; 2 contributing alleles – intermediate red; 1 contributing allele – red; and 0 – white (AAbb x AaBb, AABb x Aabb, aaBb x Aabb, AABb x aabb, AABb x AaBb) Refer to the problem above, a wheat plant producing medium red seed is crossed with another plant producing intermediate red seed. How many individuals will be? Red Medium red Intermediate red Light red White
Repeat this process for the following genotypic frequencies for the presence or absence of mid-digital hair by a typical 1407 class: Frequency of homozygous dominants (HH, mid-digital hair present): 0.21 Frequency of heterozygous individuals (Hh, mid-digital hair present): 0.16 Frequency of homozygous recessives (hh, no mid-digital hair): 0.63 Total No. of alleles present: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by homozygous dominants: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by homozygous recessives: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Total number of dominant alleles in the population: _____________ Frequency of the dominant allele (H) in the population: _____________ Frequency of the recessive allele (h) in the population: _____________
The following genetic map describes three hypothetical human autosomal genes, each of which exhibits two alleles. Two-factor map distances are shown. A = Artistic (dominant) a = Inartistic (recessive) M = Moral (dominant) m = Immoral (recessive) G = Generous (dominant) g = Greedy (recessive) Assume that these traits exhibit simple Mendelian dominance/recessiveness. The coefficient of coincidence for this map is 0.4. An artistic, moral, generous heterozygous female of genotype AMG/amg marries an inartistic, immoral, greedy homozygous male of genotype amg/amg. What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, immoral and greedy? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be inartistic, moral and generous? What is the probability that their firstborn child will be artistic, immoral and generous?
Refer to the figure below, which shows a pedigree of a sex-linked recessive trait. Note that only shaded individuals are affected; unshaded individuals may or may not be carriers. Consider the affected son of female number II-6. If individual III-6 wants to marry and his partner does not carry the allele, the probability that his first son will be affected with the trait is ? percent. 1. 100 2. 50 3. 25 4. 0 5. 75
When many families were tested for their ability to taste the chemical PTC, the parental pairs were grouped into three types and the progeny totaled. The results were as follows Parents # of Families Tasters Nontasters Taster x taster 425 929 130 Taster x nontaster 289 483 278 Nontaster x nontaster 86 5 218 Assuming that PTC tasting is dominant (P) and nontaster is recessive (p), how can the progeny ratios in each of the three types of matings be accounted for?
In 1927, the ophthalmologist George Waaler tested9049 schoolboys in Oslo, Norway, for red-green colorblindness and found 8324 of them to be normal and725 to be color blind. He also tested 9072 schoolgirlsand found 9032 that had normal color vision while40 were color blind.a. Assuming that the same sex-linked recessive allelec causes all forms of red-green color blindness,calculate the allele frequencies of c and C (the allelefor normal vision) from the data for the schoolboys.(Hint: Refer to your answer to Problem 12a.)b. Does Waaler’s sample demonstrate Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium for alleles of this gene? Explain youranswer by describing observations that are eitherconsistent or inconsistent with this hypothesis.On closer analysis of these schoolchildren, Waalerfound that there was actually more than one c allelecausing color blindness in his sample: one kind forthe prot type (cp) and one for the deuter type (cd).(Protanopia and deuteranopia are slightly differentforms of red-green…
