As genomes become sequenced it has become evident that genes become duplicated as a mechanism of evolution. In some cases, recently duplicated genes perform identical functions. Suppose genes R and S are of unlinked genes that in fact arose recently from such a gene duplication event. If two Rr Ss individuals are mated, what would be the phenotypic ratio of their progeny. Assume r is recessive to R and s is recessive to S.

Everyone in Merida's family has orange hair, which is the dominant trait for hair color in her kingdom. Her family brags that they are a "purebred" line. She recently married a man who has light yellow hair, which is a recessive trait. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if they had children. Use H to represent the dominant gene and b to represent the recessive gene. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children. What are the chances of a child with orange hair? What are the chances of a child with yellow hair? Would Merida's children still be considered purebreds? Explain!
This is a diagram of a family tree. Males are shown as squares. Females are shown as circles. Alleles are shown as the small circles with each allele given as black, striped, grey or white. The diagram is an example of identity by descent. Why? 00 Oa Because the final individual has inherited two identical alleles from the same ancestor b. Because the final individual has the same alleles as three generations previous C. Because the final individual is homozygous for the black allele d. Because there are homozygous individuals throughout the pedigree e. Because the entire tree stems from a single couple Clear my choice
The fur colour of Labrador dogs is determined by three alleles: black (FB), chocolate (F), and yellow (FY). If black is dominant to yellow, and chocolate is dominant to yellow, what will the puppy colours be if a heterozygous chocolate Labrador and a yellow Labrador are bred? Use a Punnett square to support your answer. Paragraph B + v Add a File Record Audio Record Video
Honeybees are unusual in that male bees (drones) have only onecopy of each gene, but female bees have two copies of their genes.This difference arises because drones develop from eggs that havenot been fertilized by sperm cells. In bees, the trait of long wingsis dominant over short wings, and the trait of black eyes is dominant over white eyes. If a drone with short wings and black eyeswas mated to a queen bee that is heterozygous for both genes, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of male and femaleoffspring? What are the phenotypic ratios if we assume an equalnumber of male and female offspring?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Which statement BEST explains how cystic fibrosis is maintained in the gene pool? O A. Organisms that are heterozygous can pass on only the dominant allele. O B. Organisms that are homozygous-dominant pass on either dominant or recessive alleles. O C. Organisms that are heterozygous can pass on the recessive alleles because they are carriers of the disorders but do not show characterisitcs of the disorder becuase they have the dominant allele as well. O D. Organisms that are homozygous-recessive pass on only the dominant allele.
As you have read, if an allele is paired with another one just like it, the name for the pair is homozygous. If the allele is paired with a different type, the pair is called heterozygous. You have also learned about how some alleles are domi- nant and some are recessive. A Punnett square shows how the pairs will possi- bly match up. Making a prediction about how the offspring will look is usually simple. If the pair is heterozygous or homozygous dominant, the dominant trait will be expressed. If the pair is homozygous recessive, the recessive trait will be expressed. There are some alleles, however, that behave like normal dominant alleles when in a heterozygous pair, but are deadly in a homozygous pair. For example, the alleles that control fur color in wild mice are yellow and black. The yellow allele is dominant (Y) and the black is recessive (b). When a mating occurs and the alleles are paired together, the hairs have yellow and black bands. From a distance this makes the mouse…
Imagine that feather color in parrots is controlled by one gene with two alleles: "P" and "p" "P" is completely dominant and codes for green feathers "p" is recessive and codes for blue feathers If a green parrot and a blue parrot have offspring, and half of their offspring are green and half are blue, what was the genotype of the green parrot?

In a drosophila , the allele for normal wing length is dominant over the allele for short wings. In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 show the recessive phenotype. How many individuals would you expect to be homozygous dominant for the trait.
Can ypu answer ALL parts to this question Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is heterozygous for gene c, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is homozygous recessive for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene I. Inhibition is dominant to uninhibited, pigmented feathers are dominant to unpigmented feathers. The inhibitor gene (I) will prevent expression of pigmented chicken feathers. Use the letters C, c, I, and i for the genes. C is for color and I is for inhibitor Enter your answer as a list of haplotypes separated by spaces such as AB ab Ab aB. Do not write a sentence. Do not list duplicate haplotypes. Alphabatize your haplotypes, e.g. Ab, not bA. A) What are the potential genotypes of the gametes produced by the mother for these two genes? B) What are the potential genotypes of the gametes produced by the father for…
g Has 39 päirs of chromosomes, a wolf has 39 pairs of chromosomes, but a red fox has only 17 pairs of chromosomes. Dog-wolf hybrids are well-known. How many chromosomes would you expect the hybrid to have? Would these chromosomes be homologous pairs? Dog-fox hybrids have occasionally claimed to occur, but none have ever been confirmed. If such a hybrid should ever be found, how many chromosomes would it have? Would these chromosomes be in pairs? Explain why or why not.
When Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa they encountered a related species, Homo neanderthalensis, and the two species interbred. The percent H. neanderthalensis genes in the F1 progeny was %. After a backcross of an F1 progeny to H. sapiens, the percent H. neanderthalensis genes in the child was %. After a second backcross of a progeny to H. sapiens the percent H. neanderthalensis genes in the child was have genomic DNA sequences of both ancient H. neanderthalensis and modern H. sapiens. The percent H. neanderthalensis genes in the genomes of most modern H. sapiens is approximately %. %. We now
