Based on the data, which trait do you think is dominant versus recessive? Explain the information you used to help you determine this. Based on your answer, how would you write the genotypes of the original parental generation for this cross?
The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each.
Below is a pedigree of a rare human genetic disease in which stricken individuals are solid-colored. After you decide what kind of inheritance this is (note the grandparents), apply the laws of probability and calculate the probability the offspring of the cousin marriages a) 2 × 3 will have the disease.

- Medaka fish native to Japan have 24 pairs chromosomes, and medaka fish native to China have 23 pairs of chromosomes. In which population of medaka fish would you expect to see more genetic variation in the progeny of a cross? Explain your answer and show your work.arrow_forwardUse the following diagram and information to help you answer the next question. Crossing over is more likely to occur between genes that are from the centromere (represented by the circles) and between genes that are located away from other genes For the three genes shown, identify the row that indicates the alleles that would be found in each of the four gametes produced from this tetrad if a crossover occurred. Select one: a. Gamete 1 Gamete 2 Gamete 3 Gamete 4 AbC AbC aBc aBc b. Gamete 1 Gamete 2 Gamete 3 Gamete 4 Abc AbC aBc aBC c. Gamete 1 Gamete 2 Gamete 3 Gamete 4 Abc Abc aBC aBC d.

- Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?arrow_forwardHemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?arrow_forwardYou decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?arrow_forward
- you perform a cross of two heterozygous, red-eyed flies. They have 100 offspring. How many of these offspring do you predict will have red eyes? Show your work using a Punnett square. [Use letters R and r to designate the alleles]arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the next question.In a testcross, the parent that is homozygous recessive for the genes being studied is called the testcross parent. The parent that has the dominant phenotype of the genes being studied is called the non-testcross parent.Which of the following is NOT a reason that a testcross is a useful technique when studying the inheritance of a trait a. The relative frequencies of the different phenotypes among the testcross progeny can be used to map linked genes. b. The gametes produced by the testcross parent are determined from the testcross progeny. c. A testcross can determine if an individual with the dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous. d. Because the testcross parent can contribute only recessive alleles, the alleles contributed by the other parent will be expressed in the offspring of the testcross.arrow_forwardThe pedigree below represents which individuals in a given family have attached earlobes. Unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes.Which of the following statements is true of the pedigree? a Individuals 8 and 9 are heterozygous for the trait. b Individuals 1, 2, 3, and 4 have attached earlobes. c Individuals 6, 7, and 10 are male. d Individuals 11 and 12 are identical twinsarrow_forward
- uppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce three out of five offspring that are white and tall? Enter your answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage. probability: 0.006 Please advise how it comes out to 0.006. that is the correct answer per the professorarrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion In a genetic cross for some quantitative trait, 19 distinct phenotypes are observed.
