A family of mice living in a small cage had babies with white fur coloring and brown fur coloring. The parents of these babies are both brown in color, but each of the parents had a parent with white fur color. How did the babies with white fur get their fur coloring?
If a chicken has black and white feathers, how could you describe the genes for feather color? If a plant has yellow flowers and is crossed with a plant with red flowers and the resulting offspring has orange flowers, what can you infer about this plant's genetics?
you perform a cross of two heterozygous, red-eyed flies. They have 100 offspring. How many of these offspring do you predict will have red eyes? Show your work using a Punnett square. [Use letters R and r to designate the alleles]
You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
How similar are the genes of different species? Does this reflect how different or similar the traits seem to be?
The pedigree below represents which individuals in a given family have attached earlobes. Unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes.Which of the following statements is true of the pedigree? a Individuals 8 and 9 are heterozygous for the trait. b Individuals 1, 2, 3, and 4 have attached earlobes. c Individuals 6, 7, and 10 are male. d Individuals 11 and 12 are identical twins
Why do Humans require pedigree analysis instead of breeding experiments to determine how a trait is inherited?
According to the video “The Biology of Skin Color”, why is it that the allele coding for darker skin did not evolve to protect us from skin cancer? A. Because skin cancer isn't harmful B. Darker skin did develop to protect us from skin cancer C. Because skin cancer usually develops after an individual's reproductive years, so it doesn't affect the ability for someone to pass on their genes D. Because skin cancer usually develops before an individual's reproductive years, so it doesn't affect the ability for someone to pass on their genes
Suppose that round ears in guinea pigs is a recessive phenotype. You have just adopted a guinea pig with pointy ears. Using crosses, how can you determine whether this guinea pig with pointy ears is homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant trait? Explain the cross you would make and what it would tell you.
