The V locus in a species of wild apples affects the redness of the fruit. There are two alleles, V1 and V2. V2V2 individuals have a redness index of 10 on average, V1V2 individuals have a redness index of 12 on average, and V1V1 individuals have a redness index of 18 on average. (a) Compute the additive (a) and dominance (d) effects of this locus

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
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: _____________
In a certain plant, leaf size is determined by fourgenes whose alleles assort independently and actadditively. Thus, alleles A, B, C, and D each add4 cm to leaf length and alleles A′, B′, C′, andD′ each add 2 cm to leaf length. Therefore,an AA BB CC DD plant has leaves 32 cm longand an A′A′ B′B′ C′C′ D′D′ plant has leaves16 cm long.a. If true-breeding plants with leaves 32 cm longare crossed to true-breeding plants with leaves16 cm long, the F1 will have leaves 24 cm longand the genotype AA′ BB′ CC′ DD′. Listall possible leaf lengths and their expectedfrequencies in the F2 generation produced fromthese F1 plants.
Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).. If a squash plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will the phenotypic and genotypic ratios be for: a. the F1 generation? b. the F2 generation? You must show the Punnett Square for the F2 generation!
The shape of a pumpkin is determined by the action of two genes A and B. The recessive forms of these two alleles produces a flattened-shaped fruit, whereas the dominant forms of these two alleles produce the typical pumpkin with ridges. When both alleles are heterozygous a disc-shaped pumpkin is produced. If the genotype of the pumpkin plant is homozygous dominant at one allele and heterozygous at the other, the pumpkin will be ball-shaped. If the pumpkin plant is homozygous recessive at one allele and heterozygous at the other allele it produces an oblong-shaped fruit. Plants with genotypes other than the ones listed in this question do not produce pumpkins. Do the following cross: two pumpkin plants capable of making disc-shaped pumpkins are crossed with each other. Based on this cross, answer the following: (Show your work below.) How many of the progeny will make ball-shaped pumpkins?__________________________________________ How many of the progeny will make disc-shaped…
