For each scenario below, choose the options thatmatches. Write the number in the blank next to the scenario.1. Co-dominance2. Complementation3. Dominant negative4. Epistasis5. Expressivity6. Incomplete dominance7. Incomplete penetrance8. Lethality9. Linkage10. Maternal effect11. Mitochondrial inheritance12. Pleiotropy13. Sex influenced trait14. Sex-linked trait15. Suppression Li) A cat was born with a dominant mutation in the M gene, which makes a muscle protein, and due to thismutation, the claw muscles cannot retract. This makes the unfortunate cat more like a dog. This mutationgot passed to the cat's progeny; several generations down, a kitten with the mutant M allele was born withan additional, new mutation in a different muscle protein that restored the claw-retraction ability.j) Cats have "radar ears," that can rotate to face the sound source. The ability to rotate requires both the R1gene, and the R2 gene. So cats that are R1R11212 cannot rotate their ears. Neither are cats that arer1r1R2R2. But if these cats mate, all of their kittens can rotate their ears. (Hint: this could be an epistasisquestion, but it is not.)_k) A mutant cat was discovered that used oxygen at super high rates. Her metabolism was through the roof!She had 6 kittens-3 girls and 3 boys. All of them had the same high-metabolism phenotype. These 6 kittenswent on to have their own kittens, all with their own separate mates; all the kittens of the female cats hadthe same phenotype, but the kittens of the male cats were all normal.I) The B1 allele makes blue fur, the B2 makes yellow fur, and cats with B1B2 have green fur because there is amixture of blue and yellow pigments in the fur which under the microscope appear as separate dots but tothe naked eye appear green.m) Cats hiss when they are angry or scared. In order to hiss, they release hot steam from the hissing gland,which makes the hissing sound. The H gene controls whether the hiss is loud or soft; the enzyme encoded bythe gene results in either high pressure steam (H; loud hiss) or low pressure steam (h; soft hiss.) However,the W gene controls whether or not water is let into the hiss gland. WW and Ww cats let water in, where itcan become steam, but ww cats don't let water in and as a result, there is no hiss even though the glandgets hot.n) The J gene controls how high cats jump; JJ and Jj cats jump higher than jj cats do. The P gene controls howloudly they purr; PP and Pp cats purr more loudly than pp cats do. In a cross between JjPp cats and jjpp cats,half of the offspring jumped high and purred loudly, and half jumped low and purred softly. No cats jumpedhigh but purred softly or jumped low or purred loudly. The J and P genes were mapped to the samechromosome as each other, but not to the same spot on the chromosome.o) Ignore what you learned from a previous question about cat claw genes. In this scenario, unborn kittenswhose claws are too sharp pierce the placenta, thus killing the kitten. CC and Cc have normal claws, but cckittens have extra sharp claws. In a cross between Cc and Cc cats, all of the kittens' genotypes are either CCor Cc; none are cc. a) Cat researchers studying the T gene found that TT cats hold their tails13. Sex influenced traitvertically, but tt cats let their tails droop. They were surprised to see that Tt cats14. Sex-linked traitalso let their tails droop.15. Suppressionb) A group of cat researchers studying tooth sharpness found a gene that controlsit; they called it the S gene. SS or Ss gave sharp teeth; ss teeth were dull.Studying claw sharpness, another group of cat researchers found a gene that controls it; they called it the Cgene. CC or Cc cats had sharp claws; cc cats had dull claws. When the cat genome was mapped, it turned outthat the C and S genes mapped the same exact spot, and it was confirmed that they were in fact the exactsame gene. So cc aka ss cats have dull teeth and dull claws.c) A female cat has a single mutation in a certain gene, and she is totally normal. However, a male cat has thevery same single mutation in the same gene, and he has a mutant phenotype.d) The M gene in cats determines how much they like to hunt mice. MM and Mm cats really like to hunt mice;mm cats would rather just hang out on someone's laptop computer. Two Mm cats mated and had a kitten.DNA analysis showed that this kitten was mm, and yet, he liked to hunt mice. The mom cat also had someinternal abnormalities, allowing her stomach to sort of connect with her uterus. Researchers hypothesizedthat while inside his mom's uterus, this mm kitten saw the pieces of mice his mom ate as the pieces passedby, and because he was bored, he learned to chase mice pieces before birth; thus he came out chasing micein spite of his genotype.Le) Most cats have pads on their feet. The functional P gene produce the enzyme necessary to produce thepads. pp cats therefore lack pads, so they walk loudly. In a cross between Pp and Pp cats, only 50% of thekittens have pads on their feet._f) The B gene in cats controls how often they bathe. BB cats bathe three times/hour, Bb cats bathe once perhour, and bb cats bathe once every three hours.g) The dominant W allele promotes whisker formation; ww and Ww cats have whiskers. ww cats lackwhiskers. But WW cats have anywhere between 5 and 50 whiskers. (Ww cats can also have anywherebetween 5 and 50 whiskers).h) As we all know, only male cats have whiskers. Because facial hair is, like, a guy thing. As we learned in theproblem above, the W allele is responsible for whisker formation. A WW male cat and a WW female cathave 20 kittens but only about half of them have whiskers. (Hint: the answer does NOT involve penetrance.)
