Chapter 3, Problem 18PDQ
When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.
Consider three independently assorting gene pairs, A/a, B/b, and C/c, where each demonstrates typical dominance (A–, B–, C–)and recessiveness (aa, bb,cc). What is the probability of obtaining an offspring that is AABbCc from parents that are AaBbCC and AABbCc?

Question:
Suppose the progeny were crossed. Fill in the Punnett Squares below and answer the following questions.
Seed Color
Seed Shape
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 statistical rules might be relevant, and in whatsituations can they be applied? Do such situations existin this problem?9. What are two generalities…
Question: This is a normal 3 point test cross, except that instead of regular phenotypes, you are looking at DNA markers on a gel. One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.

- I need help solving this : In humans, the X chromosome is large in comparison to the Y chromosome. The X chromosome carries information for many traits that aren't related to the sex of the individual. Alleles carried only by the X chromosome are said to be X-linked (or some-times, sex-linked). Some of the alleles on the tiny Y chromosome appear to have no counterparts on X. These Y-linked alleles code for traits that are found only in males. Among the X-linked traits are a number of recessive genetic disorders. One of these is hemophilia, the inability to produce proteins necessary for blood clotting. Hemophiliacs can bleed to death from relatively minor cuts or bruises. Historical records dating back thousands of years mention the inheritance pattern of hemophilia. Among the ancient Hebrews, sons born to women with a family history of hemophilia were excused from circumcision. Hemophilia was common during the 1800s in the royal families of Europe, whose members often intermarried.…arrow_forwardMultiple choices: Question: Handedness (whether you are right or left-handed) shows a 79% concordance in monozygotic twins and a 77% concordance in dizygotic twins.

I am confused so please show. 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).
