1. A homozygous recessive genotype for the gene that encodes phenylalanine hydroxylase (which breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine) causes lighter skin color, a musty odor, differences in intellectual development, and seizures. 2. In pea plants, alleles of Gene W control flower color, with the dominant allele (W) leading to purple flower color, and the recessive allele (w) leading to white flower color. Usually, a genotype of WW or Ww leads to purple flowers. However, when Gene C is homozygous recessive, WW or Ww plants always have white flowers. 3. In mallard ducks, feather coloring is controlled by Gene F. A dominant allele (F) leads to green head feathers, while a recessive allele (f) leads to brown head feathers. In male mallards, inheritance of one or more F alleles always leads to the green head feather trait. But female mallards always have brown head feathers, regardless of whether they hay are FF, Ff, or ff. a) Multigene (or polygenic) inheritance b) Epistasis c) Pleiotropy d) Sex-limited inheritance e) Sex-influenced inheritance f) Genetic anticipation g) Lethal allele

5. Flower color in snapdragons is inherited in an incompletely dominant manner. Assume that RR = red flowers, Rr = pink flowers, and rr = white flowers. What would be the genotype and phenotype ratios of the offspring of two plants with pink flowers?
3. In poultry, a gene C produces creeper (very short legs) in the heterozygous condition and is lethal in the homozygous condition. The c allele of the gene produces normal legs in the homozygous condition. Barring is due to a dominant sex-linked gene, B, and nonbarred to its recessive allele, b. In chickens, males are ZZ (similar to XX) and females are ZW (similar to XY). A creeper male homozygous for barring is mated with a creeper female who is nonbarred. What kinds of offspring can be expected from this cross and in what proportions will each kind occur?
