Concept explainers
An organism having the genotype AaBbCcDdEe is self-fertilized. Assuming the five genes assort independently, determine the following proportions:
a. gametes that are expected to carry only dominant alleles
b. progeny that are expected to have a genotype identical to that of the parent
c. progeny that are expected to have a
d. gametes that are expected to be ABcde e. progeny that are expected to have the genotype AabbCcDdE–

- Based on the pedigree shown here for a trait determined by a single gene (affected individuals are shown in black), state whetherit would be possible for the trait to be inherited in each of the following ways:A. RecessiveB. X-linked recessiveC. Dominant, complete penetranceD. Sex-influenced, dominant in malesE. Sex-limitedF. Dominant, incomplete penetrancearrow_forward. a. A mouse cross A/a ⋅ B/b × a/a ⋅ b/b is made, and inthe progeny there are25% A/a ⋅ B/b, 25% a/a ⋅ b/b,25% A/a ⋅ b/b, 25% a/a ⋅ B/bExplain these proportions with the aid of simplifiedmeiosis diagrams.b. A mouse cross C/c ⋅ D/d × c/c ⋅ d/d is made, and inthe progeny there are45% C/c ⋅ d/d, 45% c/c ⋅ D/d,5% c/c ⋅ d/d, 5% C/c ⋅ D/dExplain these proportions with the aid of simplifiedmeiosis diagrams.arrow_forwardA geneticist crosses two yellow mice with straight hair and obtains the following progeny: 12 yellow, straight 16 yellow, fuzzy 14 gray, straight 112 gray, fuzzya. Provide a genetic explanation for the results and assign genotypes to theparents and progeny of this cross.b. What additional crosses might be carried out to determine if yourexplanation is correct?arrow_forward
- For the cross: PpAa x PpAa P = purple flowers (Dominant) p = white flowers A = axial flowers (Dominant) a = terminal flowers a. What are the possible gamete classes that can form from these parents? b. What are the expected offspring genotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? c. What are the expected offspring phenotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? 2. Predict ratios/proportions/fractions of genotypes and phenotypes of the following crosses. T = tall stem t = dwarf stem P = purple flowers p = white flowers G = green pods g = yellow pods A = axial flowers a = terminal flowers R = round peas r = wrinkled seeds A. ttPp x Ttpp B.

PpGg x ppggarrow_forwardFruit flies with one allele for curly wings (Cy) andone allele for normal wings (Cy+) have curly wings.When two curly-winged flies were crossed, 203curly-winged and 98 normal-winged flies wereobtained. In fact, all crosses between curly-wingedflies produce nearly the same curly : normal ratioamong the progeny.a. What is the approximate phenotypic ratio in theseoffspring?b. Suggest an explanation for these data.c. If a curly-winged fly was mated to a normalwinged fly, how many flies of each type would youexpect among 180 total offspring?arrow_forwardTwo tetrahybrids (AaBbCcDd) were crossed. a. What is the probability of having sperm cells from the male parent with equal number of dominant and recessive genes? b. What is the probability that the progeny will have at least 1 dominant trait? c. Give complete phenotypic ratio expected from this cross.arrow_forward
- A dihybrid cross between a homozygous dominant for two traits (YYGG) is crossed with a homozygous recessive for two traits (yygg). A. What percentage of the offspring would be YyGg in the F1 generation? B. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?arrow_forwardThe following cross is conducted between varieties of corn plants that exhibit the following phenotypes ... X Yellow and wrinkled kernels: ddrr Purple and smooth kernels: DdRr *The alleles for these traits assort independently during gametogenesis a. Using a Punnett square, determine the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring of this cross. b. If this cross produces 425 offspring, how many are expected to phenotypically resemble the first parent? c. If this cross produces 425 offspring, how many are expected to exhibit a recombinant phenotype?arrow_forwardAssuming independent assortment for all gene pairs, what is the probability that a parent with the genotype AABBCC, will produce a gamete with the allele combination ABC? Select one: О а. 1/8 O b. 1/2 О с. 1/4 O d. 1/16 O e. 9/16arrow_forward
