Textbook Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 1SB
You have a true-breeding strain of miniature-winged fruit flies, where this wing trait is recessive to the normal long wings. How would you show whether the miniature wing trait is sex-linked or autosomal?

In goats, a beard is produced by an autosomal allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. Is it possible to cross two bearded goats and obtain a beardless male offspring? Why or why not? What about a bearded female offspring?
In chickens, cock feathering is an autosomal recessive trait that is limited to males. Is it possible to cross a cock-feathered male with a hen-feathered female and get male progeny that are cock-feathered? Explain your reasoning.
If Subject 1 in the pedigree shown below is heterozygous for a rare autosomal recessive disease, what is the likelihood that Subject 7 will inherit the disease?

- 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 black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?arrow_forwardA blue-eyed man, whose parents were brown-eyed, marries a brown-eyed woman whose father was blue-eyed and whose mother was brown-eyed. This man and woman have a blue-eyed child. What are the genotypes of all the individuals mentioned? (Brown is due to an autosomal dominant allele)arrow_forwardThe pedigree below shows the inheritance of fur color in rabbits. What is the mode of inheritance for the black fur color trait? a) x-linked dominant b)autosomal recessive c)autosomal dominant d) x-linked recessivearrow_forward
- The pedigree below is a sex-linked disorder. Given the pedigree below, which characteristic is described? Explain by writing out the genotypes of all individuals.arrow_forwarda. The pedigree follows the inheritance of a relatively common trait. Is the trait most likely autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, or X-linked recessive? Explain your reasoning. b. If the couple marked with a “*” had another child, what is the probability that it would be an affected daughter? (Note: this is a compound outcome.)arrow_forwardWhite eye color is a recessive sex-linked trait in fruit flies. If a whiteeyed Drosophila female is mated with a red-eyed (wild-type) male, what do you predict for the numerous offspring?arrow_forward
- In flies, small wings are recessive to normal wings. If a cross between two flies produces 8 small-wing offspring and 28 normal-wing offspring, what are the most likely genotypes of the parents? (Use SS to represent the normal-wing allele and ss to represent the short-wing allele.)arrow_forwardWhich pedigree demonstrates the inheritance of an autosomal trait? Why A. Figure 14.1 B. Figure 14.2arrow_forwardIn mice the autosomal genotype yy is for gray fur, YY is for brown fur and Yy is for yellow fur. What is the ratio of offspring from the cross between a gray mouse and a yellow mouse?arrow_forward
- Draw a pedigree that represents an autosomal dominant trait, sex-limited to males, and that excludes the possibility that the trait is Y linked.arrow_forwardAlbinism in humans is autosomal and fully recessive to normal color. A couple, who are both normal, have a daughter who is albino and a son who is normal. What is the probability that their normal son is a carrier of the albinism gene?arrow_forwardUsing the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?arrow_forward
