SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Just for fun, imagine that "shirt-striping" is a phenotypic character caused by a Single gene. Construct a genetic explanation for the appearance of the family in the above photograph, consistent with their "Shirt phenotypes." Include in your answer the presumed allele combinations for "shirt-striping" in each family member. Identify the inheritance pattern shown by the child.

- fill the 3 possible genetic combinations an organism can have - Homozygous Dominant - Homozygous recessive - Heterozygousarrow_forwardGive typed explanation of all not a single word hand written otherwise leave it A tortoiseshell cat is found with two kittens. One of the kittens is an orange female, and the other kitten is a black male. What would be the genotype of the tortoiseshell cat (the mother of the two kittens)? ____________________________ What would be the genotype of the male cat that fathered the two kittens? ____________________________ Draw a Punnett square in the space below, showing the potential genotypes of kittens produced by a cross between the tortoiseshell cat and the father of the two kittens.arrow_forwardSingle gene Mendelian inheritance patterns: if you are told the phenotype of the parents and whether the trait is dominant or recessive etc, be able to predict the genotype of the children. If you are told the phenotype of the parent as well as the inheritance pattern, be able to predict the parent’s genotype. Be able to set up and use a Punnett square to solve problems and make predictions. Be able to explain the major steps in how information from our genes is used to make proteins. Or to show it in a labeled diagram. Be able to explain whatis transcription, translation. Where in the cell do these processes occur? In what order? What type of molecules are being made [DNA, RNA, protein]? What are their building blocks? What is a mutation? How can a mutation in DNA cause a change in a protein? (use the following terms to answer: codon, transcription, translation, mRNA). What is gene expression? Why is regulation of gene expression important for normal…arrow_forward
- Plsssssssss helppppppppp, how can NF1 be spontaneous? Include the following terms: -genotype - phenotype - homozygous - heterozygous - inheritance - alleles - dominant - recessivearrow_forwardYou're trying to figure out the genotype of the mother based on the phenotypes of the offspring. Why is it helpful to breed the mother to a male that is homozygous recessive for the genes you're interested in?arrow_forwardSleepy the Emoji was always self-conscious of her closed eyes and she fell in love with a handsome open-eyed emoji dude, but she wasn't sure if he was homozygous or heterozygous for his open eyes. Their First child had open eyes but the second child had closed eyes. What genotype did emoji dude have? Create two Punnett squares and explain how you know his genotype using evidence from your squaresarrow_forward
- In this family tree, individuals with the trait are shown in black. Circles represent biological females. Squares represent biological males. Is the trait dominant or recessive? Explain your answer. Is the trait sex-linked? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardFrom your research, you discover that in this species of fish, the allele for black color is dominant to orange color. Based on this research, can you determine the genotype of a black fish just by looking at it? Why or why not? Yes, because the recessive allele must have been eliminated by the dominant one. Yes, because the phenotype always expresses all the alleles. No, because you do not know the DNA sequence. No, because it could be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous.arrow_forwardMendelian Genetics The presence of a dimple on the cheek is governed by a dominant gene. A couple had already 4 children with dimpled cheeks. What would be the probability of having the next child as another dimpled if both parents are heterozygous for this character?

- Mendelian Genetics F2 Cross: Yellow, Round x Green, Round GgWw x ggWW Character: Pea color & shape Use Punnett square and fork-line method to check the possible offspring. Show and interpret all the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspringsarrow_forwardThe diagram below describes the relationships of genes, alleles, and loci of genetics and how a genotype manifests as a phenotype using the pea plant flower as an example. In this case, the genotype is heterozygous, meaning that the plant carries two different alleles of the gene. Think of a scenario where you have a pea plant that is homozygous recessive in flower color. Determine the phenotype of the flower color for this plant and describe how the phenotype is derived based on the information provided in the below diagram. Make sure to include the following terms, gene, allele, locus, enzyme, and gene expression, in your discussion.arrow_forwardIn pre-DNA fingerprint days, blood type was often used in paternity disputes to exclude possible fathers. If the man in question has type B blood, and the child has type A blood, and the mother has type AB blood, can the man be the father of the child? Group of answer choices Yes, but only if he is homozygous for the B allele No Yes, but only if he is heterozygous for the B allele Yes, but only if both of his parents were Type ABarrow_forward
