- : In poultry, the genotype-phenotype relationships for comb shape are R/ā P/ā, walnut; R/āp/p, rose, r/r P/ā, pea; and r/r p/p, single. What will be the comb characters of the offspring ofthe following crosses?a) A walnut crossed with a single produces offspring that are walnut, rose, pea, and single.b) A rose crossed with a walnut produces offspring that are walnut, rose, pea, and single.c) A rose crossed with a pea produces five walnut and six rose offspring.d) A walnut crossed with a walnut produces one rose, two walnut, and one singleoffspringarrow_forwardIn poultry , the genotype-phenotype relationship for comb shape are R/-P/-, walnut. R/-p/p rose, r/rP/-,pea and r/r/p/p single.what will be the following crosses? a)A rose rose crossed with a walnut produces offspring that are walnut ,rose,pea and single. b)A rose crossed with a pea produces five walnut and six rose offspring. c) A walnut crossed with a walnut produces one rose two walnut and one single offspring.arrow_forwardBelow is a pedigree of a human genetic disease in which solid color indicates affected individuals. Assume that the disease is caused by a gene that can have the alleles A or a. a) Based on this pedigree, what is the most likely mode of inheritance?Ā Ā b) What is/are the possible genotype/s of person 1? c) What is/are the possible genotype (s) of person 4 ?Ā Explain your answers.arrow_forward
- Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species.Ā Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypesĀ of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all threeĀ genes?arrow_forwardThe correct answer is : codominance and incomplete penetrance because in codominance, heterozygotes express both alleles equally, so heterozygotes will have two phenotypes, both visible. In incomplete penetrance, some individuals with a particular genotype have a phenotype that does not match their genotype. The ratio shown suggests that not all heterozygotes have the splotchy phenotype normally expected and instead have the dominant brown phenotype.arrow_forwardIn poultry, the genotypeāphenotype relationships forcomb shape are R/ā P/ā, walnut; R/ā p/p, rose, r/r P/ā, pea;and r/r p/p, single. What will be the comb characters ofthe offspring of the following crosses? a. A walnut crossed with a single b. A rose crossed with a walnut c. A rose crossed with a pea d. A walnut crossed with a walnut Note- a, b, c, are already solved, posting this one to get the answers of d sub topic.arrow_forward
- An organism of the genotype AaBbCc was testcrossed to a triply recessive organism (aabbcc). The genotypes of the progeny are presented in the following table. 20 AaBbCc 20 AaBbcc 20 aabbCc 20 aabbcc 5 AabbCc 5 Aabbcc 5 aaBbCc 5 aaBbcc (a) If these three genes were all assorting independently, how many genotypic and phenotypic classes would result in the offspring, and in what proportion, assuming simple dominance and recessiveness in each gene pair? (b) Answer part (a) again, assuming the three genes are so tightly linked on a single chromosome that no crossover gametes were recovered in the sample of offspring. (c) What can you conclude from the actual data about the location of the three genes in relation to one another?arrow_forwardPigment in mouse fur is only produced when the C allele is present. Individuals of the cc genotype are white. If color is present, it may be determined by the A, a alleles. AA or Aa results in agouti color, while aa results in black coats. (a) What F1 and F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios are obtained from a cross between AACC and aacc mice? (b) In three crosses between agouti females whose genotypes were unknown and males of the aacc genotype, the following phenotypic ratios were obtained: (1) 8 agouti (2) 9 agouti (3) 4 agouti 8 white 10 black 5 black 10 white What are the genotypes of these female parents?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, long wings (M) is dominant to miniature wings (m) and red eyes (B) is dominant to brown eyes (b).Ā You testcross a long-winged, red-eyed fly (genotype Mm Bb) female to a mini-winged, brown-eyed male (genotype mm bb) and get the following progeny: Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 256Ā long wings, red eyesĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 261Ā mini wings, red eyes Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 240Ā long wings, brown eyesĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 243Ā mini wings, brown eyes Are these genes for wing length and eye color linked or unlinked?Ā How do you know?arrow_forward
- In guinea pigs, black hair colour (B) is dominant and brown hair colour (b) is recessive. Long hair (L) is dominant and short hair (l) is recessive. Answer the following questions: Ā (a) Find the gamete types for the cross: BbLl X BbLL (b) What are the phenotypes of the parent generation? (c) What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation?arrow_forwardIn a series of crosses between two true-breeding strains of peaches, the F1 generation was uniform, producing 30-g peaches. The F2 fruit mass ranges from 38 to 22 g at intervals of 2 g. (a) Using these data, determine the number of polygenic loci involved in the inheritance of peach mass. (b) Using gene symbols of your choice, give the genotypes of the parents and the F1.arrow_forwardIn the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of 4 alleles:Ā Ā CĀ (full color),Ā ckĀ (sepia),Ā cdĀ (cream), orĀ caĀ (albino).Ā The order of dominance isĀ CĀ >Ā ckĀ >Ā cdĀ >Ā ca.Ā Ā A sepia pig was crossed with a cream pig, where the sepia pig had 2 full-color parents & the cream pig had 2 sepia parents.Ā One of the piglets from this cross was albino.Ā Ā What phenotypic ratio is expected from this cross? A) All sepia piglets B) 1/2 full color : 1/4 sepia : 1/4 cream piglets C) 1/2 cream : 1/2 albino piglets D) 1/2 sepia : 1/4 cream : 1/4 albino piglets E) 3/4 sepia & 1/4 cream piglets F) All cream piglets G) 1/2 sepia : 1/2 cream pigletsarrow_forward
