Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 52P
Using each of the seven coat color genes discussed in the text (listed in Table 3.3), propose a possible genotype for each of the three Labrador retrievers in Fig. 3.12a. Keep in mind that the Labrador retrievers are pure-breeding for uniformly colored coats without spots or eye masks. Explain any ambiguities in your genotype assignment.

From the pedigree shown here, answer the following questions with regard to individual VII-1.
A. Who are the common ancestors of her parents?
B. What is the inbreeding coefficient for this individual?
The genotype of EB27 and EB67 are unknown. Based on pedigree, what are the most likely genotype of each individual?
A series of three-point testcrosses is made to determine the genetic map order of seven linked allele pairs: A/a, B/b, G/g, H/h, Q/q, R/r, and Y/y.From each cross between a triply heterozygous parent listed below, two recombinant classes were noticed as the least frequent among all 8 progeny classes, and are listed at the right in the table.
A. For each testcross write the genotype of the F1 heterozygous parent.
F1 Parental Phenotype Least frequent F2 Phenotype
1.AHB&ahb AHb & ahB
2.RYh&ryH RYH & ryh
3.BhY&bHy Bhy & bHY
4.qYB&Qyb qYb & QyB

- One particularly useful feature of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is that it allows us to estimate the frequency of heterozygotes for recessive genetic diseases, assuming that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exists. As an example, let’s consider cystic fibrosis, which is a human genetic disease involving a gene that encodes a chloride transporter. Persons with this disorder have an irregularity in salt and water balance. One of the symptoms is thick mucus in the lungs that can contribute to repeated lung infections. In populations of Northern European descent, the frequency of affected individuals is approximately 1 in 2500. Because this is a recessive disorder, affected individuals are homozygotes. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of individuals who are heterozygous carriers?arrow_forwardTo determine the recombination frequency between body color and wing genes in flies, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 having red body and smooth wings with a yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly.
