Chapter 14, Problem 10TYU

To determine: Whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive in the first curl cat.

Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

Genes have alternate forms known as alleles, which are transmitted to the offspring. If the offspring receives the same phenotypic traits of the parents, then it is known as true-breeding. If the two alleles are different, then there is a hybrid at F1 generation. The dominant allele out of the two alleles expresses itself and determines the phenotype. In F1 individuals, two different alleles segregate into gametes. During self-fertilization, the gametes unite randomly thereby having a chance for recessive allele to be expressed in the homozygous state at F2 generation.

In humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?
You are examining a population of snakes in which 20% of the individuals exhibit the recessive phenotype for albinism. If albinism is exhibited only by the genotype aa, how many snakes out of a population of 100 would you expect to CARRY the albinism allele (so be Aa), but be normal color?
In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a “wild card” that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for example, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect coat color in Duroc pigs. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for coat color. Genotypes of the form A– B– are red, those of the form A– bb and aa B– are sandy, and genotype aa bb is white. What ratio of red:sandy:white is expected from the cross Aa Bb x Aa Bb?
