The diagrams represent two human somatic cells, one from a female and one from a male, and the letters in the cells represent alleles for two different traits. Male Female B = Brown hair (dominant) b = Blond hair (recessive) E = Brown eyes (dominant) e = Blue eyes (recessive) According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, what are the allele combinations expected in each of the sperm cells and what combinations are expected in each of the eggs produced by these cells during meiosis? One sperm fertilized one egg, and the resulting child has blond hair and brown eyes. How is this possible given the parents' genotypes?

Albinism is a recessive disorder where there is a lack of melanin. Andrea and her husband Claude both have normal skin pigmentation. Andrea’s mother has the albino phenotype, but her father and her brother do not (normal pigmentation). Claude’s parents are both normal, but he has a sister who has the condition (is albino). Answer the following questions If Andrea and Claude are carriers for the albino allele, what is the probability that they have an albino child? If Andrea and Claude have a second child, what is the probability this child be normal (non-albino)? NOTE: Draw a punnet square or show your work.
Mendel crossed two Pea plants for plant height and flower color Tall plant (T) is dominant to Short Plant (t). Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring. A. One plant homozygous dominant for plant height and flower color crossed with another plant homozygous recessive for plant height and heterozygous for flower color.
Two healthy parents have a child who is later diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. What is the genetic term for this kind of disease? Using Mendel’s pattern, pick a letter for this gene and give the genotypes of the parents and the child. What are the odds that their next child will also have cystic fibrosis?
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their male children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 4/4 100% or 4/4
A type of red-green colorblindness is inherited recessively on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier had children with a male that is not affected by the disease. Show your answers with the use of a Punnett square • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a child is affected by the disease? • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a son is a carrier? (Careful!) • Is there a chance that a girl of the couple is affected by the disease?
Along with the trait in the pedigree, individual IV-6 and the woman are also both heterozygous for the autosomal dominant allele causing Huntington's disease. If they have a child, what is the probability that it will be affected by at least one of these traits? Remember to include both the trait in the pedigree and Huntington's disease in your calculations. Enter your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.55).
Which of the following is(are) critically important to ensure Mendel's 1st and 2nd laws? Please select all correct answer options. Meiosis I separation of homologous chromosomes separation of sister chromatids Meiosis II
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that results in the build-up of thick mucus in the lungs and pancreas causing serious respiratory and digestive problems. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive disease. If two individuals heterozygous for cystic fibrosis marry, what is the probability of them having three children consecutively with this disorder? Using punnett square, show ALL work done to achieve your answer.
A couple seeks advice from a genetic counselor because they know that they are both carriers for cystic fibrosis (which is autosomal recessive), and the woman is a carrier for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (which is sex-linked recessive). For each of their future sons and daughters (calculate separately), what is the probability that they will be affected for: Both cystic fibrosis and nuscular dystrophy If the couple’s first born son has both cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, what is the probability that their second born son will have both diseases?
Assume that genes A and B are on two different chromosomes. Describe Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment by using an individual with the genotype AaBb as an example.
Not following Mendel’s laws of heredity, what is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring if two heterozygous pea plants with purple flowers are crossed together? a.3 pea plants with light purple flowers: 1 pea plant with a single mixed color for white and purple color b.3 pea plants with purple flowers: 1 pea plant with light violet flowers c.1 pea plants with purple flowers:2 pea plants with white flowers: 1 pea plant with mixed color for white and purple color d.1 pea plant with purple flowers: 2 pea plants with light purple flowers: 1: pea plant with white flowers
Consider the Mendelian inherited genes below (complete dominance.) Draw your answer on paper and upload a photo here or complete your answer digitally and upload your file in a common format here. A. Track one gene: Blue bonnet flower color. Dominant allele = blue flowers, B; Recessive allele = white flowers, b Cross: heterozygous plant x homozygous recessive plant Set up and draw the Punnett square for this cross Predict % likelihood of offspring possible genotype & phenotypes B. Track two genes: Bluebonnet flower color and plant height Flower color: blue dominant B, white recessive b Plant height: tall dominant T, short recessive t Cross: heterozygous plant x homozygous recessive plant Set up and draw Punnett square Predict % likelihood of offspring genotypes and phenotypes
