In fruit flies, the dominant H allele gives rise to a hairless phenotype, hh gives rise to normal body bristles, and the HH homozygote condition is lethal during an embryonic stage. The presence of a dominant S allele suppresses the effect of the dominat H allele with respect to the body bristles phenotype such that normal body bristle phenotype is restored when only one dominant H allele is present (HH is lethal irrespective of the S or s alleles). The ss genotype has no effect over the H allele and the SS homozygote condition is also lethal during an embryonic stage. What would be the expected phenotypic outcomes among the surviving offspring from the following cross: HhSs X hhSs 2 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 7 normal body bristles: 2 hairless 1 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 3 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 5 normal body bristles: 1 hairless
In humans, the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele (a). The normal (healthy) allele is dominant (A). What is the genotype of someone who has cystic fibrosis? What are the two different genotypes that a healthy person could have? If two people were both heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis gene, what fraction of their children would be likely to have this disease? Hint: Draw a Punnett square to figure it out.
The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IA, IB, and i alleles. The IA allele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB encodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: a. multiple alleles and incomplete dominance b. codominance and incomplete dominance c. incomplete dominance only d. multiple alleles and codominance
In a species of fish, the allele for long fins (F) is dominant over the allele for short fins (f). What will be the genotype and phenotype ratios for offspring do we get if we cross a long-finned homozygous male fish with heterozygous long-finned female fish? Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring?
In fruit flies, gray body (G) is dominant to black body (g). If a male with a black body mates with a female that is homozygous dominant for her gray body what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? Complete the Punnett square below. What is the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring?
There are two genes that determine the coat colour expression in some dogs: eumelanin and merle. These genes are located on two separate chromosomes. For the eumelanin gene, black coat colour (E) is dominant over red coat colour (e). The merle gene controls the degree to which these coat colours are expressed through incomplete dominance. The following table describes the merle gene expression. Genotype Phenotype MM White Mm Half colour (Grey or light red) mm Full colour (Black or Red) Two dogs heterozygous for both traits were crossed. What phenotypic ratio is expected in the F1 generation? Answer: Phenotype: White Grey Black Light Red Red
Which of the following genotype(s) must a female child have in order to be color blind? XNXN XNXn XnXn XNY XnY (XN represents the normal color vision allele. Xn represents the color-blindness allele. Y represents the Y chromosome, which does not carry the color-vision gene.) Which of the following genotype(s) must a color-blind male have? Explain your rationale. XNXN XNXn XnXn XNY XnY (XN represents the normal color vision allele. Xn represents the color-blindness allele. Y represents the Y chromosome, which does not carry the color-vision gene.)
Two genes, U and H, affect wing development in a species of flying pigs, where some pigs have wings and some do not. Pigs with wings are always homozygous at gene U (U1U1). Among pigs with wings, allele H4 codes for grey feathers and is dominant over allele H5, which codes for white feathers. Which of the following best describes this scenario? Group of answer choices 1.Recessive epistasis of U over H 2.Dominant epistasis of H over U 3.Duplicate Recessive Epistasis 4.Dominant epistasis of U over H 5.Duplicate Dominant Epistasis 6.Recessive epistasis of H over U
The direction of shell coiling in the snail Lymnaea peregra (discussed in the introduction to this chapter) results from genetic maternal effect. An autosomal allele for a right-handed, or dextral, shell (s+) is dominant over the allele for a left-handed, or sinistral, shell (s). A pet snail called Martha is sinistral and reproduces only as a female (the snails are hermaphroditic). Indicate which of the following statements are true and which are false. Explain your reasoning in each case. Q. Martha’s mother must have been sinistral.
