- Explain Allele frequency?Cite the most common molecular explanations fordominant and recessive alleles.Consider and X-linked locus with two alleles A1 and A2. Allele A1 has an initial allele frequency of 1.0 in females and 0 in males. Use a spreadsheet (Excel) and its graphing functions to calculate the allele frequencies in males and females for 25 generations. Also plot the expected genotype frequencies in females for 25 generations.* show graph and plot *
- What is meant by recessive allele? Explain with help of an example.Categorize allele interactions as completely dominant,incompletely dominant, or codominant.Using the example of pea color in Mendel’s pea plants, can you devise equations to determine the allele frequencies of A and a from the genotype frequencies of aa, Aa, and AA?
- In domestic cats, the dominant allele A encodes pigmented fur and the recessive allele a encodes white fur. Two cats with Aa genotypes have a litter of kittens. For each kitten, what is the probability that the kitten has pigmented fur? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett square.In cats, the locus for orange coat color is sex linked. Male cats that are black have the o+ allele, whereas those that are orange have the o allele. Females can be homozygous for the orange allele or homozygous for the black allele and will express each color, respectively. Heterozygous females are tortoise-shelled or calico, having orange and black patches. A calico cat, in addition to being heterozygous at the orange locus, also is either heterozygous or homozygous for the incompletely dominant, autosomal spotting allele (SS = large spots, Ss = small spots, ss = no spots). Manx tails are caused by a dominant trait that is lethal when homozygous. Long tails are the result of a homozygous recessive genotype. An orange male with small white spots and a manx tail is crossed to a calico female with small white spots and a manx tail. What is the probability of observing a solid black female with no spots and long tail? (Hint: All calico cats are female!). Consider the genotypes of two lines of chickens: thepure-line mottled Honduran is i/i ; D/D ; M/M ; W/W, andthe pure-line leghorn is I/I ; d/d ; m/m ; w/w, whereI = white feathers, i = colored feathersD = duplex comb, d = simplex combM = bearded, m = beardlessW = white skin, w = yellow skinThese four genes assort independently. Starting withthese two pure lines, what is the fastest and mostconvenient way of generating a pure line that has coloredfeathers, has a simplex comb, is beardless, and has yellowskin? Make sure that you showa. the breeding pedigree.b. the genotype of each animal represented.c. how many eggs to hatch in each cross, and why thisnumber.d. why your scheme is the fastest and the mostconvenient
