Introduction:
These crosses involve the trihybrid traits and each parent provides 6 gametes each thus making a total of 12 gametes. The fusion of gametes is a random process and it may result in any one type of the offspring predicted from the crosses.

A. A female showing the trait will pass it on to all of her sons who will all show the trait. B. A female showing the trait will pass it on to all of her daughters who will all show the trait. C. A male showing the trait will pass it on to all of his sons who will all show the trait. D. A male showing the trait will pass it on to all of his daughters who will all show the trait.arrow_forwardEctrodactyly, also known as “lobster claw syndrome,” is a recessivedisorder in humans. If a phenotypically unaffected couple producesan affected offspring, what are the following probabilities?A. Both parents are heterozygotes.B. An offspring is a heterozygote.C. The next three offspring will be phenotypically unaffected.D. Any two out of the next three offspring will be phenotypicallyunaffectedarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements illustrates codominance? Select one: a. Red flowers crossed with white flowers produce pink flowers. b. Individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell anemia allele are more resistant to malaria. c. Two parents with blood types A and B can have children with blood type O. d. Grey heterozygous chickens have black and white feathers.arrow_forwardIs it possible for a bald man and a nonbald woman to have a nonbald son and bald daughter? A. Yes, if the father is homozygous and the mother is heterozygous. B. Yes, if both parents are heterozygous. C. No, it is not possible. D. Yes, if the father is heterozygous and the mother is homozygous.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true of the sickle-cell allele? a)it became an important genetic factor after slash-and-burn agriculture was introduced b)it became an important genetic factor after fields were cleared that put humans near mosquitos c)it became an important genetic factor approximately 2000 years ago d)it provides a reproductive advantage to heterozygotes e)only homozygous normals will survive thanks to this traitarrow_forward
- Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease caused by a recessive allele. Two parents without the disease have a child with the disease, indicating they are both heterozygotes. Assuming that the child did not have a mutation giving it the disease, what is the probability that a second child of the same parents would have the disease? Group of answer choices a. 1 b. 0.25 c. 0 d. 0.5arrow_forwardThe 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 twinsarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross? A. A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross involves two parents. B. A monohybrid cross produces a single progeny, whereas a dihybrid cross produces two progeny. C. A monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for a single trait, whereas a dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two traits. D. A monohybrid cross is performed only once, whereas a dihybrid cross is performed twice.arrow_forward
- Consider three independently assorting gene pairs, A/a, B/b, andC/c, where each demonstrates typical dominance (A9, B9, C9)and recessiveness (aa, bb, cc). What is the probability of obtainingan offspring that is AABbCc from parents that are AaBbCC andAABbCc?arrow_forwardThere are two alleles for the height gene, T for tall and t for short. One parent is a heterozygote, while the other is a recessive homozygotes. Which genotypes, and at which frequencies, are possible from these two parents. a.) 100% heterozygotes b.) 100% dominant homozygotes c.) 50% dominant homozygotes, 50% recessive homozygotes d.) 50% dominant homozygotes, 50% heterozygotes e.) 50% heterozygotes, 50% recessive homozygotes f.) 25% dominant homozygotes, 50% heterozygotes, 25% recessive homozygotes g.) 100% recessive homozygotesarrow_forwardA recessive allele in tigers causes an usual white coat color. If two normally pigmented tigers are mated and produce a litter including a white offspring, what fraction of their offspring would be expected to have normal/ orange pigmentation?
