Chapter 11, Problem 5FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Every trait is controlled by a single gene and there are only 2 alleles of a single gene, where one is the dominant allele and the other one is the recessive allele. This is assumed to be correct all the time; instead, there are many traits that are influenced in various other ways.

Determine the mode of inheritance:
Homozygous recessive die from fatal disorder, when a specific enzyme activity is absent. Heterozygous exhibit wild type phenotype but have intermediate level of gene expression resulting in 1/2 of the wild type enzyme activity when compared to Homozygous normal non-carriers. Based on the levels of gene expression ALONE, the mode of inheritance is?‐---------------
Hair texture is determined by gene c in an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern, where the heterozygous condition (c1c2) results in wavy hair. Hairline is controlled by gene H, where a widow's peak is dominant to a straight hairline.
If a woman with curly hair and a straight hairline has a child with a man with a widow's peak and straight hair (his mom had a straight hairline), what is the chance they would have a kid that has exactly the same hair as mom?
Draw the Punnett square and demonstrate the possible genotypes and phenotypes that could result from these two parents' mating.
Color-blindness is a recessive disorder found on the X chromosome. There can be individuals that are carriers for
the trait (Of the two X chromosomes they have, only one has the colorblindness allele while the other is normal.
In this pattern of inheritance, all carriers are female). We express sex-linked traits with respect to our sex
chromosomes. For example, if the allele for colorblindness is "b" and the allele for normal color vision is "B",
then a female carrier is X x.

- A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and wife, who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the disease, decide to have a child. Because both parents are carriers of the disease, each has one dominant normal-cell allele (S) and one recessive sickle-cell allele (s). Therefore, the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely. Complete parts a) through c) below. a) Genes are always written with the dominant gene first. Therefore, there are two instances the offspring could have genotype Ss (one if the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the non-dominant allele; and one if the father contributes the dominant allele and the mother contributes the non-dominant allele). List the other two possible genotypes of the offspring. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)arrow_forwardWhat is the pattern of inheritance shown by the following example? A brown guinea pig mated with a white guinea pig, their offspring are tan.arrow_forwardA particular species of flowering plant comes in three colors: Red, Blue, and Purple. Red is considered homozygous dominant, blue is considered homozygous recessive, and purple is considered heterozygous. Please use F to represent dominant alleles and f to represent recessive alleles. A member of this plant species that makes red flowers cross-pollinates with a member of the same species that makes blue flowers. In your answer, please state the mode of inheritance, the genotypes of both parents, and the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.arrow_forward
- The last Emperor of Russia, Nicolas II, was married to Empress Alexandra, and they had fivechildren, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexis. Alexis was the only one who was afflictedwith hemophilia or the royal bleeding disease; all other members were normal. Research on this medical condition and determine the mode of inheritance. If only Prince Alexis was afflicted with the disease, determine his genotype. What could be the genotypes of the Emperor and Empress? Is it possible that each daughter could have been a carrier?arrow_forwardIn Labrador retrievers, some puppies have pink noses and some have black. Labrador retrievers with black fur almost always have black noses. What type of inheritance pattern is this? Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardA morphological trait is the physical association between two genes because they are on the same chromosome, also the inheritance patterns showing dependant assortment of alleles that result from this association true or false?arrow_forward

What type of inheritance pattern does this most likely describe?arrow_forwardA woman afflicted with a certain illness marries a normal man. They have four children (two boys and two girls); all boys have their mother's illness, but none of the girls have it. See individuals outline by blue square in the family tree below which indicates these individuals. Their children marry and have children of their own. Their family tree is shown below. What inheritance is it suggested? Give an explanation for your answer. Determine the genotype of all individuals seen the family tree above (use table below): Generation Individuals I 1. 2.

The gene for black is not dominant over the gene for white, nor is the gene for white dominant over the gene for black. When a black rooster is mated to a white hen, all gray chicks are produced. When gray chickens are mated, the chicks are black, gray, and white. Using a Punnett Square, demonstrate how feather color is inherited in Andalusian chickens. Is the inheritance of feather color in this problem an example of incomplete dominance? Why would it be impossible to establish a true breeding flock of gray Andalusian chickens? In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant to white (b), and a rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth (r). What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic results of the following crosses?

- In humans, an allele for black hair in one gene can mask the expression of color on a secondgene. In one family with 10 children, 7 have black hair like their parents, 2 with red hair and onewith blond hair. The blond child soon came of age and married a man with red hair. All their children have red hair. a. What specific mode of inheritance is exhibited? b. Using the letters A and B, assign alleles to the traits c. Based on the 9:3:3:1 ratio, what are the genotypes of the following: 7 children with black hair ________________ 2 children with red hair ___________________ 1 child with blond hair ____________________ d. Give the COMPLETE genotypes of the following: Parents of the children ____________________ Man with red hair _________________________ All children (of the man) with red hair ________________arrow_forwardArmin and Annie are going to have a baby. Annie has dimples in her cheeks (a dominant trait), while Armin does not. You know that Annie's father has dimples in both cheeks, while her mother does not. Her mother must have the recessive trait. Annie's father has the dominant trait, but you don’t know if he is a homozygote or heterozygote. But you still know what Annie’s genotype must be because Annie must have a recessive allele since that is all she could have inherited from her mother. Since Annie has a dimples you know she inherited a dominant allele from her father. What are the chances Armin and Annie’s baby will have dimples? Determine the Phenotype and Genotype and its probability. Show your solution in a clean sheet of paper.arrow_forwardraccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails.

What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food?
