The silencing or expressing of particular genes in offspring is proposed to be a type of parental conflict. Specific patterns of amine groups are added to particular cystine bases in the DNA of sperm and eggs. The expression of all the genes in an organism is regulated through this differential chemical modification. The gene coding for insulin-like growth factor is silenced in the gametes of a female housecat. The differences between hinnies and mules are a result of parent-of-origin effects in developmental genes.

Colorblindness and hemophilia are both X-linked traits in humans. Explain how a female who has a defective color vision gene on one X chromosome and a defective blood clotting gene causing hemophilia on the other X chromosome can be neither a hemophiliac nor colorblind? Please discuss the effect of Gene dosage compensation in your answer and in your answer describe the molecular process by which this occurs.
In marsupials, X inactivation occurs exclusively to paternally derived chromosomes. Which genes will ALWAYS be expressed in this situation? A. maternal X-linked genes B. paternal X-linked genes C. maternal Y-linked genes D. paternal Y-linked genes
Explain the molecular mechanism of imprinting.
Describe genetic linkage. What is the role of location on a particular chromosome in determining if two traits are linked? Describe the role that blood antibodies play in determining which blood types can be transfused into a particular patient. Use several examples to support your assertions. Sex determination is different in birds and mammals. Describe how this difference in sex determination leads to the different probability of inheriting a sex-linked trait in male and female mammals versus birds.
Can ypu answer ALL parts to this question Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is heterozygous for gene c, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is homozygous recessive for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene I. Inhibition is dominant to uninhibited, pigmented feathers are dominant to unpigmented feathers. The inhibitor gene (I) will prevent expression of pigmented chicken feathers. Use the letters C, c, I, and i for the genes. C is for color and I is for inhibitor Enter your answer as a list of haplotypes separated by spaces such as AB ab Ab aB. Do not write a sentence. Do not list duplicate haplotypes. Alphabatize your haplotypes, e.g. Ab, not bA. A) What are the potential genotypes of the gametes produced by the mother for these two genes? B) What are the potential genotypes of the gametes produced by the father for…

Which of the following findings supports the fact that the presence of the Y-chromosome rather than the lack of a second X-chromosome determines the development of maleness in mammals? a. A human with an X0 genotype (Turner syndrome) is phenotypically female. b. A human with an XXY genotype (Klinefelter syndrome) is phenotypically male. c. A transgenic mouse with two X-chromosomes and the SRY gene from the Y-chromosome develops male sex organs. d. b and c, but not a e. a, b, and c
What is the role of imprinting in human genetic disorders? \ Select the two correct answers. Imprinting defects cause myelodysplastic syndrome. Imprinting is a process that leads to human genetic disorders. Imprinting defects cause Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, and several others. When mutations occur in imprinted genes, heritable changes in gene activity may occur. Imprinting is a process that cures human genetic disorders. When mutations occur in imprinted genes, only non- heritable changes in gene activity may occur.
What type of genes regulate the development of anatomical segments and structures in an organism, directing the development of different body regions early in the organism's development? A. Homeotic genes B. Anatomical genes C. Allelic genes D. Methylated genes

Using the link provided. Mate two flies. a male is a wild type and a female has yellow body and purple eyes. Use: https://www.sciencecourseware.org/FlyLabJS/ Which mutant alleles are dominant? Which mutant alleles are recessive? Which mutant alleles are sex-linked? Which mutant alleles are autosomal? Can you tell at this point if the two genes are linked? Show the results of the dihybrid analysis. Are genes segregating independently? What is the evidence for or against this? Show the crosses you will use to obtain the mapping data. For the mapping crosses, Write out the crossing scheme and make a table of the results (ignore sex in this table, combine the male and female progeny). Identify the parental classes and the recombinant classes. For a 3-point cross, identify the double cross overs. Show your calculations for the recombination frequencies between the three genes (for the 3-point cross) or the two genes (for the two-point crosses). Draw a map of…
