Chapter 3, Problem 14PDQ
When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, alwaysassumethatmembersof the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.
Mendel crossed peas with round, green seeds with peas having wrinkled, yellow seeds. All F1 plants had seeds that were round and yellow. Predict the results of testcrossing these F1 plants.

Question:
Suppose the progeny were crossed. Fill in the Punnett Squares below and answer the following questions.
Seed Color
Seed Shape
R
r

a
In a pea plant experiment, the allele (R) producing yellow seed color is dominant, and the allele (r) producing green seed color is recessive. A homozygous recessive genotype would produce green seeds. Similarly, the allele (A) producing round seed shape is dominant to the allele (a) that produces wrinkled seed shape. A homozygous recessive genotype would produce wrinkled seeds. Both traits sort independently of each other.
Given a pure-breeding cross between a round, green pea plant and a wrinkled yellow plant, complete the rest of the Punnett Squares below, and answer the following questions.

Unpacking the Problem 44John and Martha are contemplating having children, butJohn’s brother has galactosemia (an autosomal recessivedisease) and Martha’s great-grandmother also had galactosemia. Martha has a sister who has three children, none ofwhom have galactosemia. What is the probability that Johnand Martha’s first child will have galactosemia?1. Can the problem be restated as a pedigree? If so, writeone.2. Can parts of the problem be restated by using Punnettsquares?3. Can parts of the problem be restated by using branchdiagrams?4. In the pedigree, identify a mating that illustratesMendel’s first law.5. Define all the scientific terms in the problem, and lookup any other terms about which you are uncertain.6. What assumptions need to be made in answering thisproblem?7. Which unmentioned family members must be considered? Why?8. What statistical rules might be relevant, and in whatsituations can they be applied? Do such situations existin this problem?9. What are two generalities…

1.pku is an auto recessive disorder that can ultimately lead to brain damage. People who are heterozygous are healthy even though they carry the alle. If a women is a heterozygous carrier and a man who has the trait has a child, what are the chances that teh child would have PKU? what is the inheritance pattern?

Label Phenotypes and genotypes as you go about the Pedigree (and whatever else might be required)! Thank you again for your help, these questions confuse me). Hair or fur length in cats is controlled by a single, autosomal gene; the short hair-allele is dominant to the allele for long hair. Hair color is produced by a different gene which is located on the X chromosome. One allele for this sex-linked gene produces yellow, while an alternate allele produces black fur color; individuals which are heterozygous for these alleles are calico or tortiseshell in color. a). If a long-haired, black male is mated with a calico female homozygous for short hair, what kind of kittens will be produced in the F1generation?
