4. You are studying a large flock of chickens and divide it into two halves. Each half contains the same genetic variations at the same frequencies as in the other half. To one half (the control group) you feed normal chicken chow, to the other half (the experimental group) you feed normal chicken chow supplemented with a nutritional booster. As expected, in the experimental group the hens lay an average number of eggs greater than those in the control group. Yet the heritability remains the same in both the experimental and control groups. You can explain this observation by hypothesizing that the variation in nutrition among hens is, select one of the options below and justify your answer. A. smaller in the experimental group. B. larger in the experimental group. C. the same in both groups. D. smaller in the control group. E. larger in the control group.

2. In corn the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) and rust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of a routine mating check experiment, a breeder got the following results upon crossing T/t:R/r with a double recessive strain (t/t/r): Number of progeny genotype T/t; R/r t/t; r/r T/t; r/r t/t; R/r In addition to these data she noted that the cobs contain only about 50% of the expected kernels. Note that in corn, each kernel is the result of one mating or can be considered one progeny. Hence 50% of the matings are not producing viable offspring. a. Based on the location of these genes on separate chromosomes what is the 98 104 3 5 expected result? b. Suggest a hypothesis of a genetic process that could be used to explain the potential karyotype of one of these parents. c. What are the actual genotypes of the parents? d.

1. Chinchillas are small, furry South American rodents. They were originally brought to the United States from Chile in 1918 and raised for their fur, and have become increasingly popular as cage pets. They come in a variety of colors, but the most common is gray. In chinchillas, gray fur is dominant to violet. If one parent is gray HETEROZYGOUS, and the other is violet, what is the probability in their offspring of: being homozygous dominant? ________% being heterozygous? ________% being homozygous recessive? ________% having violet fur? ________% 2. Trixie, a former cheerleader, just had a child. She isn't sure who the father is. Carrie is blood type A and the baby is type AB. Use your knowledge of genetics to help Trixie, and indicate whether each of the following men COULD be the father. If he could be the father, put down Yes. If not, just say No, which is perhaps what Trixie should have done. #9, the quarterback, who is type A homozygous ______ #10, the…

5. The color of the hull in oat seeds are determined by two genes that independently assort. The black hull phenotype is due to a dominant allele A. The grey hull phenotype is due to a dominant allele B. However, the effect of B is only apparent in the aa genotypes. In other words, the presence of the A allele masks the effect of the genotypes in the B gene. If neither A or B is present, the color of the hull would be white. You take a true breeding white strain (aabb) and cross it with a true breeding black strain (AABB). You let the F1 generation self-fertilize and collected the F2 generation of seeds. a. In the diagram below, please fill out the blue areas. In the rectangles, please fill in genotypes. In the parentheses, fill in proportions of respective genotypes. In the lines, specify the respective phenotypes (black, grey or white).. b. Out of all the black hulled seeds, what proportions have the genotype AaBb? Please show all calculations.. your PO F1 F2 ( A_B_ AABB ( aaB ( ) (…
4. Two genes control color in lentils. A- B- lentils are black, A- bb are cream, aa B- are brown, and aa bb are white. A black lentil plant was crossed to a white lentil and all F1 progeny were black. F1 lentils were crossed to each other and you observe 105 black, 27 cream, 24 brown, and 14 white. 4A. What are the genotypes of the F1 lentils? A. A mix of A-B- genotypes. В. АаBb C. Can't say Answer: 4B. Rounding down any expected progeny to the nearest whole number, what is the Chi squared statistic (rounded to tenths place) for whether your observed progeny fit your expectation for unlinked genes? Answer: 4C. What is the statistical significance of this value? (use the contingency table in the book). Answer:
4. A true-breeding strain of wheat that has brown kernels is crossed with a true-breeding strain that has white kernels. The F₁ generation has all brown kernels. The F₁ generation is self crossed and the phenotypes in the F2 generation are 15/16 brown 1/16 white Propose a genetic model to explain these results.

1. What is the difference between genotype and phenotype? 2. A black guinea pig is mated to a white guinea pig, and they produce 12 black offspring. Then, the same white guinea pig is mated to a different black guinea pig, and they produce 7 black and 5 white offspring. What is the best explanation for the difference between these two matings? In your answer, you must include the genotypes for the parents and offspring of each cross. 3. In 1981, a stray black cat with unusual curled-back ears was adopted by a family in California. Suppose you were the person who owned the first “curl” cat, and wanted to develop it into its own breed. How would you determine whether the allele for curled ears is dominant or recessive? Why does it make a difference for breeders whether an allele for a trait is dominant or recessive?
