4. Allele specific oligo-nucleotide hybridization is a genetic test used to look for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS) associated with genetic diseases. It uses short sequences of labeled DNA as probes to bind onto either the normal allele or mutated allele in a patient's sample. Given that hemocystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease, use the results from the ASOH test below to determine the GENOTYPE and PHENOTYPE of the newborns born at Henry Mayo Hospital this week.

1. A new species of animal called the rekamriliob has been found in the wild. The lab you work in has been tasked with studying its genetics. So far, there have been 2 main phenotypes found in the wild. Through selective breeding, your lab has determined that the gene for purple color (P) is dominant to the gene for golden color (p). Another lab has determined that the thick limb trait is dominant to the thin limb variety. If you breed a purebred purple thick limbed rekamreliob male with a golden thin limbed female, you get 100% thick limed offspring that are purple in color. If you take two of these organisms and breed them together, please predict the following. Assume that rekameliobs lay an average of 32 eggs. The gametes produced if the genes are unlinked b. genes The expected numbers of the possible phenotype in the offspring with unlinked The gametes produced if the genes are linked (list all possibilities, and show which ones are the result of crossing over) d.

1. Two loci found in mice are suspected to be linked. To test this hypothesis, a group of graduate students performed a test cross between mice that are true breeding for both dominant traits and mice that are true breeding for both recessive traits. Individuals from the F1 generation were crossed with individuals that express both recessive traits. The phenotypic results are shown in the table below. Use chi-square analysis to determine if the graduate students’ hypothesis is supported by the evidence. Phenotype Number of OffspringDominant 1, Recessive 2 132Dominant 1, Dominant 2 128Recessive 1, Recessive 2 118Recessive 1, Dominant 2 124 a. What are the degrees of freedom and the critical chi-square value (from the table)?b. What is the calculated chi-square value?c. Do the results support that the loci are linked or that they are independently assorted (unlinked)?
You are a studying the genetic basis of horn color in unicorns. Gene C determines the color of pigment destined for the horn by converting a pink precursor into a purple pigment. C- individuals make purple pigment whereas cc individuals accumulate pink precursor. Gene D ensures the deposition of the pigment into the horn cells, such that D- individuals have a colored horn (purple or pink), whereas dd individuals have a white horn. You breed two purple horned unicorns to each other (CcDd). Assuming Gene C and Gene D are unlinked, what is the probability that the baby unicorn has a purple horn? Please express your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.69).

1. It's a very well known fact that most dragons do not breathe fire, and it's also well known that alleles that enable fire breathing are recessive to the wild-type Sweet Breath phenotype. However, it's unclear how many different genes when mutated cause the fire breathing phenotype. To answer this question you use four different strains of dragon and perform a series of crosses. Your strains are the Hungarian Horntail (Strain A), the Norwegian Ridgeback (Strain B), the Romanian Longhorn (Strain C), and the Swedish Shortsnout (Strain D). All strains are true breeding for a single homozygous recessive mutation that allows them to breathe fire. Cross #1 Hungarian Horntail (A) X Norwegian Ridgeback (B) = F1: All Sweet Breath Cross #2 Romanian Longhorn (C) X Swedish Shortsnout (D) = F1: All Sweet Breath Cross #3 Swedish Shortsnout (D) X Norwegian Ridgeback (B) = F1: All Firebreathing Cross #4 Romanian Longhorn (C) X Hungarian Horntail (A) = F1: All Firebreathing How many genes are…
