Concept explainers
Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on
a. how common the allele is, relative to other alleles.
b. whether it is inherited from the mother or the father.
c. whether it or another allele determines the
d. whether or not it is linked to other genes.

- (a) What is the similarity between type A and AB blood groups? (b) If the dominant allele of a trait is defined with ‘E’ and the recessive trait is defined with ‘e’, what will be the homozygous dominant allele combination of the trait? (c) What is a dihybrid cross?arrow_forwardBased on the observed inheritance pattern and ratio of phenotypes, what are the genotypes of the affected children? a) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are c-/c-. b) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/C. c) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/c-. d) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C.arrow_forwardA type of inheritance in which a physical trait shows uninterrupted variation within a population. a) incomplete dominance b) polygenic inheritance c) dominant-recessive inheritance d) multiple-allele inheritancearrow_forward
- A particular person is said to be a carrier of a genetic trait. What does this tell you about their phenotype? (a) They physically show the trait. (b) They physically show the trait more than a noncarrier would show the trait.(c) They are almost normal but show an intermediate phenotype for the trait. (d) They are completely normal and do not physically show the trait.arrow_forwardA) what are the genotypes for EB27 and EB67? B) what is the relationship between the three alleles (B,br, y)? Show evidence using the pedigreearrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? a. the pollen grain shape was studied by Mendel. b. Mendel believed that the characteristics of pea plants were determined by the inheritance units or factors from both parents. c. An allele is one of several possible forms of a gene. d. When the genotype consists of a dominant and recessive allele, the phenotype will be like the dominant allele.arrow_forward
- IN TRANSYLVANIA, SOME PEOPLE EXHIBIT TWO UNUSUAL TRAITS IN WHICH THEY HAVE VERY LONG FRONT TEETH AND THE INABILITY TO BE AWAKE WHEN THE SUN IS UP. BOTH OF THESE TRAITS APPEAR TO BE RECESSIVE. IF A WOMAN WHO IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TEETH AND HOMOZYGOUS NORMAL FOR BEING IN THE SUN MARRIES A MAN WHO HAS BOTH THESE TRAITS, WHAT COULD BE THE PHENOTYPES AND GENOTYPES OF THEIR CHILDREN? USE A PUNNET SQUARE AND SHOW ALL WORK. LIST THE RATIOS FOR THE GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES.arrow_forwardAn organism that is heterozygous for a recessive and dominant allele will display what phenotype? A) Something completely different from the dominant and recessive phenotypes B) Recessive C) A mixture of the dominant and recessive phenotypes D) Dominant E) A dysfunctional phenotypearrow_forwardIn genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Homozygous; two dominant alleles (Choice B) B Homozygous; two recessive alleles (Choice C) C Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Choice D) D Homozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allelearrow_forward
- What is Polygenic Inheritance? A) When one gene has many effects B) The additive effect of 2 or more genes C) The genes that cause skin colorarrow_forwardIf you have a recessive phenotype for a given trait, but neither of your parents has that phenotype, what can you say about the genotype of your parents for that trait? A) Both of your parents must be homozygous dominant B) Both of your parents have to be hetorozygous C) One of your parents might be homozygous dominant but the other has to be hetorozygous D) Both of your parents have to be homozygous recessivearrow_forwardCompare and Contrast the following; a. Hybrid vs. intermediate b. Gene vs. allele c. Dominance vs. recessive d. Genotype vs. phenotypearrow_forward
