Two pumpkins plants have the following genotype: EeFfGg and EeFfGg. Assume genes E, F and G are independently assorting. How probable is this most probable phenotype of offspring of these pumpkins plants?
Based on the information you discovered in the previous problem, answer the following:a. A female fruit fly with genotype Tt nn is mated toa male of genotype Tt Nn. What is the probabilitythat any one of their offspring will have normalphenotypes for both characters?b. What phenotypes would you expect among the offspring of this cross? If you obtained 200 progeny, howmany of each phenotypic class would you expect?
Recall that red color (R) in four-o’clock flowers is incompletely dominant over white (R ′). In the following crosses, give the genotypes of the gametes produced by each parent and the flower color of the offspring: R/R ′×R/R ′; R′/R ′×R/R ′; R/R×R/R ′; R/R×R′/R ′
Given a cross between AabbCcDdEeFFGgHh x AaBbCcDdEEffggHH, a) how many possible gametes can the first individual produce? b) what proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? c) what proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? d) how many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
You self-fertilize an F1 plant to produce the F2 generation. Based on Mendelian principles of inheritance, what fraction of the F2 generation do you expect to be short with round, green seeds? HINT: Solving this problem will require a very large Punnett square (8 x 8), but you can easily solve it using the Multiplication Rule
What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygous pea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratios would be seen in the F2 progeny?
What genotypes would be expected for the offspring from the following matings? What are the phenotypic ratios for each cross? Explain how you came up with this ratio?
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?
Still referring to Problem 1, what will be the possible genotypes of offspring from the following matings? With what frequency will each genotype show up? a. AABB aaBB b. AaBB AABb c. AaBb aabb d. AaBb AaBb
Why are monozygotic twins who are reared apart so useful in the calculation of heritability?
What is the mathematical expression of the genetic equilibrium for genes with two alleles? Is this statistical distribution the same as the statistical distribution of the respective phenotypes?
The long hair of Persian cats is recessive to the short hair of Siamese cats, but the black coat color of Persians is dominant to the brown-and-tan coat color of Siamese. Make up appropriate symbols for the alleles of these two unlinked loci. If a pure black, long-haired Persian is mated to a pure brown-and-tan, short-haired Siamese, what will be the appearance of the F1 offspring? If two of these F1 cats are mated, what is the chance that a long-haired, brown-andtan cat will be produced in the F2 generation? (Use the shortcut probability method to obtain your answer; then check it with a Punnett square.)
