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?
Consider three independently assorting gene pairs, A/a, B/b, andC/c, where each demonstrates typical dominance (A9, B9, C9)and recessiveness (aa, bb, cc). What is the probability of obtainingan offspring that is AABbCc from parents that are AaBbCC andAABbCc?
Applying Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For instance, a trait is caused by the homozygous state of a gene that is recessive and autosomal. 9% of individuals are expressing the phenotype. What is the percentage of individuals that are heterozygous?

- Define the difference between (a) gene and allele, (b) dominant allele and recessive allele, (c) homozygote and heterozygote, and (d) genotype and phenotype.arrow_forwardA particular person is said to be a carrier of a genetic trait. What does this tell you about their phenotype? (a) They physically show the trait. (b) They physically show the trait more than a noncarrier would show the trait.(c) They are almost normal but show an intermediate phenotype for the trait. (d) They are completely normal and do not physically show the trait.arrow_forwardn guinea pigs, an allele for rough fur (R) is dominant over an allele for smooth fur (r), and an allele for black coat (B) is dominant over an allele for white fur (b). What would be the genotype of a guinea pig with smooth black fur? *arrow_forward
- In guinea pigs, an allele for rough fur (R) is dominant over an allele for smooth fur (r), and an allele for black coat (B) is dominant over an allele for white fur (b). What would be the genotype of a guinea pig with smooth black fur?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the Law of Independent Assortment? a. A large Punnett square can be used to predict the outcome of a parental cross involving two traits. b. Non-allelic genes do not affect each other if they are located on separate chromosomes. c. Sometimes all alleles lack dominance, which leads to a blending of traits. d. The dominant allele is represented with an uppercase letter and the recessive allele is represented with a lowercase letter.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes a Y-linked trait? A. It will always be expressed if present in female individuals B. It can be inherited by a daughter for her father C. It can be inherited by a son from his mother D. It will always be expressed if present in male individualsarrow_forward
- You are crossing mice in your lab. You notice that there is heritable variability in the tail length of your mice. Some mice have long tails, some have short tails. Which bolded word(s) correspond to a trait, and which bolded word(s) correspond to a character? Explain.arrow_forwardNot all traits are controlled by dominant and recessive alleles. What does incomplete dominance mean? Give an example.arrow_forwardBrown fur vs white fur. Say that the alleles for fur color (brown or white) are written using the letter “B” and “b”. The dominant trait is brown, white fur color represents the recessive trait. How would you write out a homozygous dominant individual?arrow_forward
- what are factors that control traits are called?arrow_forward(a) What is the similarity between type A and AB blood groups? (b) If the dominant allele of a trait is defined with ‘E’ and the recessive trait is defined with ‘e’, what will be the homozygous dominant allele combination of the trait? (c) What is a dihybrid cross?arrow_forwardAccording to Amar J. S. Klar, is there a such thing as “left handedness”? What is the preferred term? Describe how the genetics works, according to his hypothesis. What are the alleles, and which combinations of alleles make for which type of hand use?arrow_forward
