Part 1. We will begin by looking at onion color. Let's arbitrarily assign the letter "R" for color and
say red onions are dominant (R) and white onions are recessive (r).

A researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes:F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, longYou know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results.a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the “brown, long” class.

- P Generation F, Generation F, Generation 1. What trait is being studied in the cross pictured above? 2. There are 2 alleles for the trait. What are they? 3. Which allele is the recessive allele? Explain why. 4. Which allele is the dominant allele? Explain why. 5. Which 2 alleles do the F1 plants have? Explain which allele was inherited from which parent.arrow_forwardYou are a studying the genetic basis of horn color in unicorns. Gene C determines the color of pigment destined for the horn by converting a pink precursor into a purple pigment. C- individuals make purple pigment whereas cc individuals accumulate pink precursor. Gene D ensures the deposition of the pigment into the horn cells, such that D- individuals have a colored horn (purple or pink), whereas dd individuals have a white horn. You breed two purple horned unicorns to each other (CcDd). Assuming Gene C and Gene D are unlinked, what is the probability that the baby unicorn has a purple horn? Please express your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.69).arrow_forwardImagine you are trying to test whether a population of flowers is undergoing evolution. You suspect there is selection pressure on the color of the flower: bees seem to cluster around the red flowers more often than the blue flowers. In a separate experiment, you discover blue flower color is dominant to red flower color. In a field, you count 600 blue flowers and 200 red flowers. What would you expect the genetic structure of the flowers to be?arrow_forward
- From an agricultural point of view, discuss the advantages and disadvantagesof selective breeding. It is common for plant breeders to take two different, highly inbred strains, which are the product of many generations of selective breeding, and cross them to make hybrids. How does this approach overcome some of the disadvantages of selective breeding?arrow_forward1 point Later on, you made a completely new cross. But you cannot remember the genotype from one of the parents. You are sure that one parent was (Ww). You remember your Bio class back in VCU and decided to check the ratios in the plants produced in this cross. If this cross (Ww X??) produced 140 plants, and 105 have purple flowers and 35 have white flowers. Then what is the genotype of the other parental? W=Purple color w=White color W is dominant ООО ww WW Ww You can assume W is dominant and we have complete Dominance with 100% Penetrance and Expressivity.

One allele masks the expression of the only other allele for the trait. One gene pair will interact so as to control the expression of a second gene pair One example is the ABO blood group system.

- Improving the nutritional value of food has long been one of the goals in agricultural genetics. Crossing different strains of plants and animals followed by generations of artificial selection have yielded some successes, including the development of high-protein maize. The use of gene transfer biotechnology has led to other advances, including the creation of nutritionally enhanced rice to combat vitamin A deficiency and blindness. Researchers are now turning their attention to the nutritional enhancement of animals that are used as food. Scientists are now turning their attention to using gene transfer technology to nutritionally enhance animal foods. Recently, biotechnology was used to produce a sheep with increased amounts of an omega-3 essential fatty acid that plays an important role in the development of the nervous system and, in adults, reduces the risk of coronary artery disease. Once a small number of transgenic animals have been produced, they can be bred by conventional methods to establish a source of nutritionally enhanced meat and milk. The use of biotechnology is presenting consumers with many new choices, which will become more common in the future. Increasingly, we will all have to educate ourselves about the pros and cons of such decisions. On the other hand, how would you explain your preference for meat from animals without higher levels of beneficial fatty acids?arrow_forwardImproving the nutritional value of food has long been one of the goals in agricultural genetics.

The best explanation for the red-eyed F1 females is (A) mutation (B) culture contamination (C) dominance (D) multiple loci (E) sex-influenced traits 22. There are white-eyed females in the F2 generation because (A) white is a dominant allele (B) the white allele is autosomal (C) a mutation has occurred (D) these F2 females have two white alleles (E) the white allele is located on the Y chromosome 23. Which of the following best describes the mode of inheritance of eye color in the white culture? (A) Autosomal (B) Dominant (C) Located on the Y chromosome (D) Sex-linked (E) Lethal 24.
