- Analysis of Autosomal Recessive and Dominant Traits In the following pedigree, assume that the father of the proband is homozygous for a rare trait. What pattern of inheritance is consistent with this pedigree? In particular, explain the phenotype of the proband.arrow_forwardMore Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Given the following matings, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios of the offspring? a.

- Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits Of the following, which are phenotypes and which are genotypes? a. Aa b. tall plants c. BB d. abnormal cell shape e. AaBbarrow_forwardTOPIC: GENE INTERACTION AND EPISTASIS Two pure-breeding (homozygous) lines of shrubs were crossed as follows: P1 phenotype red leaves X green leaves P1 genotype ___________ _____________ F1 phenotype 100% green leaves with white flecks F1 genotype ___________ Crossing the F1s produced: F2 phenotypes F2 genotypes 123 green leaves w/ white flecks ____ 44 green leaves ____ 63 red leaves ____arrow_forwardA Pea plant with axial flower position, tall stem length, and green seed pod color is cross with another pea plant that has axial flower position, dwarf stem length, and yellow seed pod color. Assume heterozygosity for all dominant trait. Gove 5 kinds of the offspring's genotypes.arrow_forward
- Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a fleckedappearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a totalof 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test yourhypotheses?arrow_forwardTOPIC: Variations in Gene Expression In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest and tallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest and tallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the samearrow_forwardDrosophila females of wild-type appearance but heterozygous for three autosomal genes are mated with malesshowing the three corresponding autosomal recessivetraits: glassy eyes, coal-colored bodies, and striped thoraxes. One thousand (1000) progeny of this cross aredistributed in the following phenotypic classes:Wild type 27Striped thorax 11Coal body 484Glassy eyes, coal body 8Glassy eyes, striped thorax 441Glassy eyes, coal body, striped thorax 29a. Draw a genetic map based on these data.b. Show the arrangement of alleles on the two homologous chromosomes in the parent females.c. Normal-appearing males containing the samechromosomes as the parent females in the precedingcross are mated with females showing glassy eyes,coal-colored bodies, and striped thoraxes. Of 1000progeny produced, indicate the numbers of thevarious phenotypic classes you would expect.arrow_forward
- More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment In pea plants, long stems are dominant to short stems, purple flowers are dominant to white, and round peas are dominant to wrinkled. Each trait is determined by a single, different gene. A plant that is heterozygous at all three loci is self-crossed, and 2,048 progeny are examined. How many of these plants would you expect to be long stemmed with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas?arrow_forwardVariations on a Theme by Mendel Pea plants usually have white or red flowers. A strange pea-plant variant is found that has pink flowers. A selfcross of this plant yields the following phenotypes: 30 red flowers 62 pink flowers 33 white flowers What are the genotypes of the parents? What is the genotype of the progeny with red flowers?arrow_forwardMore Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Determine the possible genotypes of the following parents by analyzing the phenotypes of their children. In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, right-handed Offspring: 6/16 blue eyes, right-handed 2/16 blue eyes, left-handed 6/16 brown eyes, right-handed 2/16 brown eyes, left-handed c. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, left-handed Offspring: 1/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 brown eyes, left-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, left-handedarrow_forward
