The ABO blood group in humans is controlled by a single locus with three different alleles. Homozygosity for lª produces type A blood. Homozygosity for 1³ produces type B blood. Homozygosity for 10 produces type O blood. Type AB blood is produced by the genotype 1A/IB. 10 is recessive to 1ª and 1³; thus, lª /1º gives type A blood and 1³ /10 gives type B blood. In the United States, the allele frequencies for the ABO alleles are given below. The Rh factor in blood typing also has multiple alleles, but the alleles can be classified into two types, positive and negative. Rh+ is dominant over Rh-. The allele frequencies of these alleles are also indicated below. The MN blood antigen trait is controlled by two codominant alleles at a single locus. Type M individuals are homozygous for the M allele, type MN individuals are heterozygous, and type N individuals are homozygous for the N allele (codominant). In the United States, the allele frequencies for this blood group are also indicated below. ABO [10] = 0.50 [IA] = 0.35 [1³] = 0.15 0.5 0.22 0.27 lolololol Rhesus 0.31 0.25 [Rh+] = 0.6 [Rh-] = 0.4 At what frequency would you expect to find type M blood among progeny from brother-sister mating?

Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous forthe recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation).Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele makebrown pigment, while those with at least one copy ofB make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbitswere crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the doublerecessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.a. What phenotypic proportions would have beenexpected if the b and c loci were unlinked?b. How far apart are the two loci?
. Imagine you purchased an albino mouse (genotypecc) in a pet store. The c allele is epistatic to other coatcolor genes. How would you go about determiningthe genotype of this mouse at the brown locus? (Inpigmented mice, BB and Bb are black, bb is brown.)
A woman who is heterozygous, Bb, has brown eyes; B (brown) isthe dominant allele, and b (blue) is recessive. One of her eyes,however, has a patch of blue color. Give three different explanationsfor how this might have occurred?
Mexican hairless dogs have little hair and few teeth. When aMexican hairless is mated to another breed of dog, about half ofthe puppies are hairless. When two Mexican hairless dogs aremated to each other, about 1/3 of the surviving puppies have hairand about 2/3 of the surviving puppies are hairless. However,about two out of eight puppies from this type of cross are borngrossly deformed and do not survive. Explain this pattern ofinheritance.
The dominant white allele (W) is a homozygous lethal and is dominant over the full-color allele (w) in horses. The Overo paint allele (O) is also lethal when homozygous, and it is dominant over the nonpaint allele (o). The dominant at the white locus, however, masks the paint phenotype. Two horses of the genotype WwOo are crossed. At what frequency is a solid white horse expected from the this cross?
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).
The part that is missing is where the traits for things like colorblindness and hemophilia exist. This meansthat if you have XY chromosomes, you are missing alleles on one of the chromosomes. So whatever alleleis on your X is expressed regardless of if being dominant or recessive. These X-Linked Traits have a specialway to note the alleles.X-Linked alleles use X and Y as their base and then the allele that notates the trait is in the top, rightcorner. For instance: Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) XY with Hemophilia XhY XX withouth Hemophilia XHXh Notice that the female has two X’s so has 2 alleles. She is not a hemophiliac, but is carrying the trait.That means she can pass the trait to her offspring.Why don’t you cross those two parents here and find the outcome:Parents: Offspring: Genotypes:Phenotypes: Is there a chance of producing an XY offspring with hemophilia? Explain your answer Will…
. As we learned in this chapter, the white mutation ofDrosophila studied by Thomas Hunt Morgan isX-linked and recessive to wild type. When truebreeding white-eyed males carrying this mutationwere crossed with true-breeding purple-eyed females,all the F1 progeny had wild-type (red) eyes. When theF1 progeny were intercrossed, the F2 progeny emergedin the ratio 3/8 wild-type females: 1/4 white-eyedmales: 3/16 wild-type males: 1/8 purple-eyed females:1/16 purple-eyed males.a. Formulate a hypothesis to explain the inheritanceof these eye colors.b. Predict the F1 and F2 progeny if the parental crosswas reversed (that is, if the parental cross wasbetween true-breeding white-eyed females andtrue-breeding purple-eyed males).
In sheep, the formation of horns is a sex-influenced trait; the allelethat results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females.Females must be homozygous for the horned allele to have horns.A horned ram was crossed to a polled (unhorned) ewe, and the firstoffspring they produced was a horned ewe. What are the genotypesof the parents?

Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
Manx cats have no tail. This is caused by a dominantmutation M, which is embryo lethal when homozygous. An unlinked gene B controls the color of the fur onthe cat's tail. The dominant B allele produces black fur on tails, while the recessive allele b produceswhite fur on tails. A Manx cat that is B/B is crossed to a white-tailed cat. Half of the F1 progeny hadthe Manx phenotype and the other half had normal, black tails.The F1 cats with the Manx phenotype were crossed to each other, producing F2 cats. What is the ratioof the following phenotypes in the F2
