Chapter 21.2, Problem 7SAQ
Summary Introduction
A species indicates a closed gene pool, in which various alleles are shared only among the members of that species. The factors that are responsible for causing reproductive isolation are normally differentiated into two categories. They are post-zygotic isolating factors and pre-zygotic isolating factors, and this categorization is based on when they act.

- Explain the term pleiotropy.arrow_forwardProduce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below: There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the dominant causative mutation. The mother is homozygous wild type at the same locus.
