. Chromosome 3 of corn carries three loci (b for plant-color booster, v for virescent, and lg for liguleless). A testcross of triple recessives with F1 plants heterozygous forthe three genes yields progeny having the followinggenotypes: 305 + v lg, 275 b + +, 128 b + lg, 112 + v +,74 + + lg, 66 b v +, 22 + + +, and 18 b v lg. Give the genesequence on the chromosome, the map distances between genes, and the coefficient of coincidence.
Hi! I would love to get some help on the box-and arrow model question! :)
A male individual who is XYSRY has the following genotype for the AMH gene on chromosome 19: AMH1 AMH2. The AMH1 allele codes for a protein that is capable of binding to the receptor for AMH. The AMH2 allele codes for a protein that is unable to bind with the receptor for AMH.
Based on your understanding of biology, what is the likely phenotype of this individual?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes of which 22 pairs are autosomal and the 23rd pair is sex-linked.In a human female, the sex chromosome pair is represented as XX, whereas, in a human male, it is represented as XY.AMH is an anti-Mullerin hormone produced by the Sertoli cells in males and helps in the development of the sex organs. Each pair of chromosomes has a pair of genes called alleles at the same loci representing a single character. Each gene of an allele represents the expression of the character.A gene can either show expression or…

- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts One of the human chromosome pairs carries a gene that influences eye color. In an individual human, one chromosome of this pair has an allele of this gene that contributes to the formation of blue eyes. The other chromosome of the pair has an allele that contributes to brown eye color (other genes also influence eye color in humans). After meiosis in the cells of this individual, what fraction of the nuclei will carry the allele that contributes to blue eyes? To brown eyes?arrow_forwardIn cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?arrow_forward

- 9 The color of Andalusian chickens results from the inheritance of alleles that exhibit incomplete dominance. Black Andalusian chickens result when two alleles for melanin production are inherited (MM). White-splashed chickens result from the inheritance of two copies of a different allele (mm). The heterozygous condition (Mm) results in their famous bluish color.

Orange fur is dominant (''B'') to black fur (''b'') and piebald, which is white spotting, is dominant (''S'') to non-white-spotted (''s''). Both of those genes are located on the X chromosome. In addition, in cats, somatic cells exhibit X-inactivation randomly, which explains why there are tortoiseshell cats (when heterozygous, have orange and black spots) as well as calico cats (orange and black but also with white spots).
