- A made-up genetic phenotype in humans results in some people having both brown and blond body hair. It is noticeable only if you look closely and these individuals which have small. medium, and large patches of brown hair and small, medium, large patches of blond body hair spread throughout their body. a.) If this phenotype is only seen in females, males have completely blond or brown body hair, how would you describe the genetic nature of this phenotype?You are evaluating a trait that is associated with fur color in mice. The trait is controlled by a single autosomal gene where A1 codes for dark fur and A2 codes for light fur. You are mating two homozygous parents- a male that is A1A1 and a female that is A2A2. You learn that the trait is involved in genomic imprinting where the paternally inherited allele is heavily methylated to the point where it is completely silenced. If you performed a RECIPROCAL CROSS what phenotypic ration would you predict among the progeny? 100% Dark 100% Light 3Dark:1Light 1Light:3 Dark None of the answers I want are shown.Let's consider a paternally imprinted gene. A female skink inherited alleles that that confer: 1) a mutant violet tail-color in the egg and 2) a mutant violet tail-color allele in the sperm. A male skink mate inherited a wild-type blue allele from the sperm and a mutant violet allele from the egg. They have 500 offspring. a. What tail color phenotypes do the parent male and parent female skinks have? Briefly explain your reasoning. female = male = b. What fraction of the offspring do you expect to have each phenotype (blue and violet tail color)? Briefly explain your reasoning/show your work.
- Pedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. It can also be used to help identify individuals within a family who may be at risk for the trait. Adam and Sarah, a young couple of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, went to a genetic counselor because they were planning a family and wanted to know what their chances were for having a child with a genetic condition. The genetic counselor took a detailed family history from both of them and discovered several traits in their respective families. Sarahs maternal family history is suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern of cancer predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer because of the young ages at which her mother and grandmother were diagnosed with their cancers. If a mutant allele that predisposed to breast and ovarian cancer was inherited in Sarahs family, she, her sister, and any of her own future children could be at risk for inheriting this mutation. The counselor told her that genetic testing is available that may help determine if this mutant allele is present in her family members. Adams paternal family history has a very strong pattern of early onset heart disease. An autosomal dominant condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia may be responsible for the large number of deaths from heart disease. As with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, genetic testing is available to see if Adam carries the mutant allele. Testing will give the couple more information about the chances that their children could inherit this mutation. Adam had a first cousin who died from Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), a fatal autosomal recessive condition most commonly found in people of Eastern European Jewish descent. Because TSD is a recessively inherited disorder, both of his cousins parents must have been heterozygous carriers of the mutant allele. If that is the case, Adams father could be a carrier as well. If Adams father carries the mutant TSD allele, it is possible that Adam inherited this mutation. Because Sarah is also of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, she could also be a carrier of the gene, even though no one in her family has been affected with TSD. If Adam and Sarah are both carriers, each of their children would have a 25% chance of being afflicted with TSD. A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you decide to have a child if the test results said that you carry the mutation for breast and ovarian cancer? The heart disease mutation? The TSD mutation? The heart disease and the mutant alleles?Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you want to know the results of the cancer, heart disease, and TSD tests if you were Sarah and Adam? Is it their responsibility as potential parents to gather this type of information before they decide to have a child?

Assume complete penetrance and non-variable expressivity. II 3 4 III 1 2 3 5 6 a) what is the mode of inheritance of this trait? b) Does the ratio of affected to unaffected offspring in generation III-1 to 1II-4 match the expected ratio for this mode of inheritance?

- For a particular gene, homozygous dominant AA and heterozygous Aa individuals produce green pigment, while homozygous recessive aa individuals produce yellow pigment. During the course of your research you discover the a1 allele that contains a class IlI transposon insertion. Allele A is dominant to a1. Which genotype is capable of producing a mixture of green and yellow pigment?A researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes: F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, long You know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results. a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the "brown, long" class. d) You obtain a value of 3.47 for the chi-square test.

The woman’s father was color blind, but her own vision is normal. The man has no family history of color blindness. Neither the man nor woman have any known history of hemophilia, but their first child (a boy) has hemophilia. They ask you to calculate the chance that their nextchild will be affected by one or both conditions. You remember from your genetics training that these are both X-linked recessive conditions and that they are closely linked: in fact, their genetic loci are separated by only 10cM! During the interview with this couple, you draw the following pedigree to represent their information. Given what you know, determine for this couple what chance they have of each of the following (in the table).
