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.
Review the Chapter Concepts list on p. 31. The first five concepts provide a modern interpretation of Mendelian postulates. Based on these concepts, write a short essay that correlates Mendel's four postulates with what is now known about genes, alleles, and homologous chromosomes. ■

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.HOW DO WE KNOW? we focused on the Mendelian postulates, probability, and pedigree analysis. We also considered some of the methods and reasoning by which these ideas, concepts, and techniques were developed. On the basis of these discussions,
what answers would you propose to the followingquestion.

Punnett squares are often used to predict the outcomes of simple genetic crosses. Based on Mendel's laws, the genotypes of the parents can be used to predict the genes in their gametes and the resulting progeny. A Punnett square enables you to predict the types of offspring the parents are expected to produce and in what proportions. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans.

A male with normal vision and his color-blind wife have a child. If the child is male what is the probability that he will be color-blind? The female in the previous problem has a daughter that is color-blind. The husband claims that this cannot be his child. Can you support or refute his argument?arrow_forwardQuestion- 1. In onions, male sterility is due to the interaction of a chromosomal allele pair hh and “sterile” (S) cytoplasm. All other combinations (i.e. HH/Hh and “sterile” cytoplasm, HH/Hh or hh “fertile” (F) cytoplasm) result in male-fertile plants. The male-sterile trait is incorporated into inbred lines to produce hybrid F1 seed on a commercial scale.a) How would you perpetuate the male-sterile line? Show the cross.b) Briefly outline the method of producing hybrid seed (heterozygote) for the commercial crop. Show the cross.c) Does it matter whether the cytoplasm is fertile or sterile in the male-fertile inbred? Explain.arrow_forward
- Question 2: Consider the following pedigree, which traces the inheritance of a single-gene hereditary disease. Only individuals that are either affected or normal are shown. In other words, potential heterozygotes are NOT indicated. Assume that there is complete penetrance and no variable expressivity, and no new mutations. 2 II III IV Characterize each of the following modes of inheritance as impossible or possible. Justify your answers. a. Autosomal recessive b. Autosomal dominant C. X-linked recessive X-linked dominant Y-linked Sex-limited Sex influenced, dominant in males Sex influenced, dominant in females Mitochondrial inheritance d. e £. ů h. 1.arrow_forwardQuestion: 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.arrow_forwardQUESTION 4 In Mendel's pea plants, round shape (R) is dominant to wrinkled shape (r), and yellow color (Y) is dominant to green color (y). The alleles for seed shape and seed color sort independently. In the parental generation, Mendel crossed a true-breeding round, yellow-seeded plant with a true-breeding wrinkled, green-seeded plant to create an F1 generation. He then crossed the F1 offspring to eachother to create the F2 generation. What is the probability Mendel would observe F2 plants with round and green seeds?
