(a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
1. Two normal visioned parents have a color-blind son. Give the genotype of both parents and the son. 2. In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) produces a yellow color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell color. The alleles (B) and (b) are sex-linked as well. Cross a tortoise shell female with a yellow male. a. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? b. What percent of their offspring will be black? c. What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell? d. Why is it impossible to have a tortoise shell male offspring?
1. Hereditary deafness in dalmations (d) is a recessive trait. What percentage of the progeny of crossing DD × Dd will be expected to be a carrier of the deafness allele, but not deaf? (enter a number only) 2.In snapdragons, a flowering plant, red (R) flower colour is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink flower colour. If a two pink flowered snapdragons are crossed, what is the resulting phenotype ratio? Select one: a.2:2 b.1:1:1:1 c.1:2:1 d.3:1 e. (all will be the same)
1. Incomplete dominance governs the pigment gene of a flower. A mating between heterozygotes yields the following phenotypic ratio: 10 yellow flowers, 35 pink flowers and white flowers. Which statement describes the situation? a. The flower pigment gene is defined by a pink and yellow allele. b. The heterozygotes were yellow. c. The heterozygotes were white. d. The flower pigment gene is defined by a red and a white allele. 2. Mendel's rules do not correctly predict patterns of inheritance for tightly linked genes or the inheritance of alleles that show incomplete dominance. Does this mean that his hypotheses are incorrect? A. Yes, because they are relevant to only a small number of organisms and traits. b. Yes, because not all data support his hypotheses. c. No, because he was not aware of meiosis or the chromosome theory of inheritance. d. No, it just means that his hypotheses are limited to certain conditions. 3. Discuss the inheritance of hemophilia
a. State a hypothesis explaining the inheritance of flower color in painted tongues. b. Assign genotypes to the parents, F₁ progeny, and F2 progeny for all five crosses. c. In a cross between true-breeding yellow and true-breeding lavender plants, all of the F1 progeny are bronze. If you used F₁ plants to produce and F2 generation, what phenotypes in what ratios would you expect? Are there any genotypes that might produce a phenotype that you cannot predict from earlier experiments, and if so, how might this alter the phenotypic ratios among the F2 progeny?
