A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Why are monozygotic twins who are reared apart so useful in the calculation of heritability?
Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?

From a presumed testcross of 2 plants of genotype Aa x aa (in which A represents red and a represents white petals on a plant) we get 5000 red petal plants, and 5400 white petals plants. Using the Chi-squared test, what chi-squared value do we get for this?
In birds, wingspan is determined by two genes, one with complete dominance of one allele over the other, one with additive effects. Birds with genotype aabb has 16 cm long wingspan, whereas those with AABB has 20 cm long wingspan. A cross between AABB and aabb parents produced F1 with 19cm wingspan. Crossing the F1s produced F2 with the following phenotypes (in cm): NOTE: In a normal distribution of values, 68% of them will fall within the range of the mean less one standard deviation and the mean plus one standard deviation. Compute for: a. compute for number of classes b. compute for the range c. compute for the interval
A homozygous plant with 20-cm-diameter flowers is crossed with a homozygous plant of the same species that has 40-cm-diameter flowers. The F1 plants all have flowers 30 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation of 512 plants, 2 plants have flowers 20 cm in diameter, 2 plants have flowers 40 cm in diameter, and the remaining 508 plants have flowers of a range of sizes in between. (a) Assuming all alleles involved act additively, how many genes control flower size in this plant? (b) What frequency distribution of flower diameter would you expect to see in the progeny of a backcross between an F1 plant and the large-flowered parent?
What are the expected phenotypic ratios from the following cross:Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr YY Aa, where T = tall, t = dwarf, R = round,r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green, A = axial, a = terminal; T, R,Y, and A are dominant alleles. Note: Consider using the multiplication method in answering this problem

What proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? How many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
Wheat kernel color is an additive trait controlled by two genes, gene A and gene B. The A1 and B1 alleles add 1 unit of color to the kernels.

In humans, a very rare dominant allele that causes the little fingerto be crooked has a penetrance of 80%. In other words, 80% of heterozygotes carrying the allele will have a crooked little finger. If ahomozygous unaffected person has children with a heterozygotecarrying this mutant allele, what is the probability that an offspring will have a little finger that is crooked?
