8) Rusty and Honey recently had a puppy named Bandit, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Honey has been upset since she first saw her new puppy who has a long tail. Honey claims that the animal hospital made a mistake and mixed up her puppy with someone else's puppy. Rusty is homozygous for his short tail, while Honey is heterozygous for her short tail. Some members of her family have long tails, which is the recessive trait. Create a Punnett square using S for the dominant gene and s for the recessive one. (4) a) Fill in the Punnett square, then list the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the puppies. b) Did the animal hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.

Question

8) Rusty and Honey recently had a puppy named Bandit, but it has not been a happy occasion
for them. Honey has been upset since she first saw her new puppy who has a long tail.
Honey claims that the animal hospital made a mistake and mixed up her puppy with
someone else's puppy. Rusty is homozygous for his short tail, while Honey is heterozygous
for her short tail. Some members of her family have long tails, which is the recessive trait.
Create a Punnett square using S for the dominant gene and s for the recessive one. (4)
a) Fill in the Punnett square, then list the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the puppies.
b) Did the animal hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.

Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?

The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?

If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele?
