Two pea plants that are true-breeding for recessive white flowers are mated and their offspring analyzed. Which of the following statements about this situation is true?
Group of answer choices
A)The offspring represent the P generation.
B)The gametes produced by the offspring will carry only one allele for this gene.
C)Both parents are referred to as heterozygotes.

Group of answer choices
A. only i and iii are possible oucomes
B. only i and ii are possible oucomes
C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes
D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes
E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomes
Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented human parents already have an albino boy. They plan to continue to have children until they get a girl. Some or all of this information is important for each of the questions below.
a) What is the probability that their next child (currently unborn) will be a girl with albinism? Explain your reasoning.
b) What is the probability their first female child will be albino? Explain your reasoning.
c) The answer to part (b) is different (and, yes, the answer is different) from the answer to part (a). Explain why. (Hint: it has something to do with the underlined words.)

What percentage of the offspring will have long fur? 2 B) Based off the above information, what percentage of the offspring will be heterozygous?arrow_forwardBelow is a pedigree of a human blinding disease.

Recently, he discovered a strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have baby blue eyes that he designates as bb. He also has another strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have pink wings that are designated as pw. He is able to establish flies that are homozygous for both mutant traits.He mates these two strains with each other. Dr. Disney then takes phenotypically wild- type females from this cross and mates them with double recessive males. In the resulting testcross progeny, he observes 500 flies that are of the following makeup:41 with baby blue eyes and pink wings207 with baby blue eyes only210 with pink wings only42 with wild-type phenotype14.

- You are studying three traits in a goldfish variety; body colour (A or a), tail length (B or b) and shape (C or c). Note: Use the uppercase letters for the alleles associated with the dominant phenotypes and the lowercase letters for the alleles associated with the recessive phenotypes. Assume that each of these traits is regulated by one gene. Photo credit https://www.petmd.com Part A. You mate a gold fish (P1) with a white fish (P2) and obtain 100 fish in F1, of which 50 are gold and 50 are white. Write two sets of the possible genotypes of the parental and the resulting F1 fish by filling in the table below. Sets P1 P2 F1 gold fish F1 white fish 1 2 Part B. You cross a true breeding gold fish having long curly tail (P3) with a true breeding gold fish having short and straight tail (P4). All of the resulting F1 fish have long straight tails. Write the genotype of the parental fish (P3 and P4) using the outlined nomenclature.…arrow_forwardAssume that right-handedness (R) is genetically dominant over left-handedness (r) in humans, and that brown eyes (B) are genetically dominant over blue (b). A right-handed, blue-eyed man marries a right-handed, brown-eyed woman. Their two children are (1) right handed, blue eyed and (2) left handed, brown eyed. The man marries again, and this time the woman is right handed and brown eyed. They have 10 children, all right handed and brown eyed. What are the probable genotypes of the man and his two wives?arrow_forwardA homozygous red pigmented female beetle (bb) is bred with a black pigmented male of unknown genotype. It’s unknown if the male homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the pigment trait. The color of their offspring will help identify the genotype of the male. What do you call this method used to determine the genotype of the male beetle? Explain your answer by using Punnett square to show possible offspring genotypes.arrow_forward
- In cattle, the gene for hornless (H) is dominant to the gene for horned (h), the gene for black (B) is dominant to that of red (b), and the gene for white face, or Hereford spotting, (S) is dominant to that for solid color (s). A cow (female) that is heterozygous for all traits is inseminated by a bull (male) of the genotype bbhhSs. What is the probability of obtaining a calf that is a black, hornless bull with Hereford spotting?arrow_forwardConsider the following statement: ‘female, w+w flies have red eyes’. In this example: Group of answer choices 1) w+w is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype 2) female is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype 3) not enough information provided to determine genotype or phenotype 4) red eyes is the genotype, and w+w is the phenotypearrow_forwardSex-specific imprinting distinguishes male and female genomes and is inherited in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. Such imprints are established in the germline during gametogenesis and remain intact throughout embryonic and postnatal development.

- The term heterozygous means; a) An organism has two different sex chromosomes Ob) An organism was originally twins that fused together in the zygote stage c) An organism has two identical alleles for a given gene d) An organism has two different alleles for a given genearrow_forwardIn humans, the ability to smell hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is inherited as a recessive trait (h = can smell HCN, H = cannot smell HCN). A woman, a man, and their biological child are all standing in a room. The child can smell the HCN but the parents cannot. 1.) What is the genotype of the child? 2.) What are the possible phenotypes of the parents?arrow_forwardThe data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable. Make sure to double check the solution provided.arrow_forward
