Description: 3. In dog coat color genetics, one gene locus, the A locus, has a dominant allele (AS, which gives hairs that are solid black, and aw, which is agouti (a wolf-like gray). The B locus is responsible for the difference in color between black (B-) and b

Set up a simple cross that falsify the idea of the 3 colors of Labrador dogs being due to a simple multiallelic series, with black dominant to brown which is dominant to yellow.

In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?
Individuals affected by a condition known as polydactyly have extra fingers or toes. The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of this trait in one family: From the pedigree, can you tell if polydactyly comes from a dominant or recessive allele? Is the trait sex-linked? As far as you can determine, what is the genotype of each person in the pedigree with respect to the trait?
Design an Experiment Imagine that you are a breeder of Labrador retriever dogs. Labs can be black, chocolate brown, or yellow. Suppose that a yellow Lab is donated to you and you need to know its genotype. You have a range of dogs with known genotypes. What cross would you make to determine the genotype of the donated dog? Explain how the resulting puppies show you the Labs genotype.
1) By convention, the recessive trait will determine the abbreviation used to track crosses if it is a mutant condition, since it stands out in contrast to the rest of the population. For example, if pea pods are typically green in color, a mutant condition might result in yellow pea pods; therefore, the lowercase letter ‘y’ would be used to depict the mutant state, yellow, while uppercase ‘Y’ would depict the wildtype (wt) condition, green. Remember that the mutant condition is not necessarily always recessive. 1 A) . If green is dominant wt (Y) and yellow is a recessive mutant condition (y), depict a Yy father mated with a YY mother in the Punnett. 1B) Considering the dominant allele, what colors are the parents in the cross above? Yy = _____________________ YY = _____________________ 1C) What colors are the offspring in the cross above? 1D) What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? 1E) What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? (Remember, the genotypic ratio is based…
2.In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive allele, d. A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, but the owner is unsure of the genotype. She does a testcross (crosses it to a homozygous recessive dog), and two of the five offspring are deaf. This means that the male dog A.has the genotype DD B.has the genotype Dd C.is still of unknown genotype since there were offspring of both deaf and hearing phenotypes. D.has the genotype dd
1. a) If you were at risk of a fatal disease such as Huntington’s disease and only the 95% accurate preliminary genetic test was available, would you take the test? After all, 95% of the time the test would tell you whether you would eventually get Huntington’s disease or whether you did not have to worry about getting this disease. b) The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?
4. Marfan syndrome is a genetic trait caused by in a dominant allele. The trait causes a weakening of the aorta that can be fatal. A teenager whose mother has the syndrome (but whose maternal grandfather was not affected), and whose father was unaffected, is concerend that she may have the trait. a. What is the phenotype of each of her parents? Genotype? b. What is the chance that the teenager has Marfan syndrome?
8. In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b). Similarly, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant over the allele for having rough hair (h). Pure breeding rough haired guinea pigs with black fur were crossed with pure breeding straight haired guinea pigs with white fur. a. State the genotype and the phenotype of the F1 individuals produced as a result of this cross.b. Two F1 offspring were mated together. Calculate the expected ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation.c. Show the completed Punnett square below.
1) In pea plants, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds. A Yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant and the resulting cross produces 35 seeds. 12 of the seeds are yellow and 23 of the seeds are green. What are the genotypes of the parent plants? 2) In humans, blood type is inherited based on multiple alleles in which type A and type B are dominant to type O. A man who is type O, whose mother was type B, marries a woman who is type AB. What is the probability that they will produce a child that is type B? 3) In Guinea pigs black fur is dominant over white fur and smooth fur is dominant over rough fur. A heterozygous black, heterozygous smooth furred guinea pig mates with a white, heterozygous smooth furred guinea pig. Determine the phenotypic ratio for the predicted offspring from this crossing
1. A sex-linked recessive allele rg causes a red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man. A. Of all the children of these parents (sex unspecified), what proportion can be expected to have normal color vision?
