n a container/tub, place 50 pieces of
red paper, 50 pieces of pink paper, and
50 pieces of white paper. Let us
assume that each color is the
genotypes homozygous dominant AA
(red), heterozygous Aa (pink), and
homozygous recessive aa (white).
Without looking, randomly pick 20 pieces of paper from your container/tub and assume
that those individuals died upon picking, thus will be removed from your population.
a. If you are a picky eater and prefer the white only, what do you think will happen in the
genotypic frequency and allelic frequencies of the red, pink and white pieces of papers?

- When many families were tested for the ability to tastethe chemical phenylthiocarbamide, the matings weregrouped into three types and the progeny were totaled,with the results shown below:ChildrenNumber NonParents of families Tasters tastersTaster × taster 425 929 130Taster × nontaster 289 483 278Nontaster × nontaster 86 5 218With the assumption that PTC tasting is dominant (P)and nontasting is recessive (p), how can the progenyratios in each of the three types of mating be accountedfor?Write the number of different kinds of phenotypes,excluding sex, you would see among a large numberof progeny from an F1 mating between individuals ofidentical genotype that are heterozygous for one ortwo genes (that is, Aa or Aa Bb) as indicated.

If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype? What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype? What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
- In Shorthorn cattle, coat color is controlled by a single gene thatcan exist as a red allele (R) or a white allele (r). The heterozygotes (Rr) have a color called roan that looks less red than theRR homozygotes. However, when examined carefully, the roanphenotype in cattle is actually due to a mixture of completelyred hairs and completely white hairs. Should this be calledincomplete dominance, codominance, or something else?Explain your reasoningFor each of the terms in the left column, choose thebest matching phrase in the right column.a. phenotype 1. having two identical alleles of a given geneb. alleles 2. the allele expressed in the phenotype ofthe heterozygotec. independent 3. alternate forms of a gene assortmentd. gametes 4. observable characteristice. gene 5. a cross between individuals bothheterozygous for two genesf. segregation 6. alleles of one gene separate into gametesrandomly with respect to alleles of othergenesg. heterozygote 7. reproductive cells containing only onecopy of each geneh. dominant 8. the allele that does not contribute to thephenotype of the heterozygotei.

Notice that genotypically speaking, they are all the same. Theyare all heterozygous (genotype) which means their phenotype is dark coloration. So, there is 100% chanceof producing a dark eyed, heterozygous offspring. What if that offspring mated with a light eyedindividual? Can you make a Punnett Square for that?Write the Genotypes and Phenotypes of the parents on the left of the square. Complete the square, thenwrite the potential offspring’s genotypes and phenotypes on the right of the square. Parents: Offspring:Genotypes: phenotypes: What are the genotypes of the resulting offspring? What are the phenotypes of the resulting offspring?
- a. The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamideis an autosomal dominant phenotype, and the inabilityto taste it is recessive. If a taster woman with a nontasterfather marries a taster man who in a previous marriagehad a nontaster daughter, what is the probability thattheir first child will be(1) A nontaster girl(2) A taster girl(3) A taster boyb. What is the probability that their first two childrenwill be tasters of either sex?A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).Doing genetic analysis it is determined that two parents are heterozygous for two separate unlinked recessive traits (i.e., both parents are heterozygous for both loci). Given this genetic information, what is the probability of their having a child which is homozygous recessive for both traits?
- Eye Color is a trait that involves a number of genes. To simplify our example, we can break down the traitinto two phenotypes: dark color and light color eyes. Dark coloration is considered dominant, or isexpressed in a heterozygous condition (when the alleles are different).Q: If you have one light eyed parent and one parent that is homozygous for dark eye color, what are thepotential eye colors of their offspring (young)? To start, what do the Parents’ alleles look like? What istheir Genotype? (Remember, you pick which letter you want to use)Light eye colored parent:Dark eye colored parent:One of the things Mendel designed was a way to provide information about how the genes are passed onfrom parent to offspring. He designed something called a Punnett Square. This square places the parents’alleles outside the box, then uses those alleles to fill in the squares.Let’s start with a reminder of what we know about the parents: Parent Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) 1 2Among Native Americans, two types of earwax (cerumen) are seen, dry and sticky. A geneticist studied theinheritance of this trait by observing the types of offspring produced by different kinds of matings. Heobserved the following numbers:OffspringParents Number of mating pairs Sticky DrySticky × sticky 10 32 6Sticky × dry 8 21 9Dry × dry 12 0 42a. How is earwax type inherited?b. Why are no 3:1 or 1:1 ratios present in the datashown in the chart?Alleles that show incomplete dominance will represent: Choose oneAnswer: A . heterozygotes that have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles. B. homozygotes that have a genotype like the recessive allele C. homozygotes that have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles. D. heterozygotes that have a genotype like the dominant allele
