- Which of these predictions would you make for a gene that is haplosufficient and essential for viability? A diploid heterozygous for a null allele and the wild-type allele will be viable. A diploid heterozygous for a null allele and a wild-type allele will be nonviable. A diploid homozygous for a null allele will be nonviable. A null allele would lead to nonviable haploid cells.The table below shows the progeny of a test cross of a heterozygote (HhFfGg). Each row shows the number of progeny that inherited each combination of alleles from the heterozygous parent. You've already determined the gene order (G is in the middle) and labeled each type of progeny. Using this information, what is the recombination frequency between H and G? Alleles: Type: HGF hgf HgF h Gf Hgf h GF HGf hg F O 0.543 0.302 O 0.241 O 0.23 0.139 Parental Parental DCO DCO SCO (H-G) SCO (H-G) SCO (G-F) SCO (G-F) Count: 124 119 15 18 51 55 38 40 O The correct answer is not available.A genetic disorder is caused by a LOF mutation (Bm) and epigenetic imprinting of gene B. Through pedigree analysis of many families, researchers have observed the following results: Female carrier B+Bm x B+B+ --> B+Bm and Mother's genotype Father's genotype Children's genotype Children's phenotype Cross 1: B+Bm B+B+ B+Bm , B+B+ some affected, some unaffected Cross 2: B+B+ B+Bm B+Bm , B+B+ always unaffected Based on these results, gene B is imprinted on the: a. maternal b. paternal
- Consider a situation where F1 is backcrossed with one of its parental lineage and we obtained A1H1/A2H2 : A2H1/A2H2 : A2H2/A2/H2: A1H2/A2H2 = 295 : 186 : 310 : 209, where A1 and A2 are alleles at a locus and H1 and H2 are alleles at the other locus. What is the recombination (genetic) distance between the two loci in centimorgans? A. 8.9 B. 22.5 C. 18.4 D. 50 E. 39.5Your internship with Dr. Nefario at Gru Industries is going well so far, but a recent mission to obtain a shrink ray requires a special kind of Minion. You identify that the ideal Minion phenotypes for this mission are two eyes, pale yellow, and short. From your previous work, you’ve found that:Two-eyed (D) is completely dominant over one-eyed (d)Yellow (Y) is incompletely dominant with white (y)Tall (T) is completely dominant over short (t) a. The only reproductive individuals you have at the moment (it was surprise mission!) are a true breeding two-eyed, yellow, short Minion and a one heterozygous for each trait. What genotypic ratios would you expect for this crossassuming that each locus is on a different chromosome? What total proportion would you expect to be the desired phenotype for the mission? b. The mission has since been delayed due to lack of financial support, so you’ve got some time. All the individuals from the F1 cross above are now reproductive. Which genotypes would…Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait. A three-generation pedigree is shown below for a family that carries the mutant allele for cystic fibrosis.

A) ff B) FF C) Ff D) it is impossible to tell
- A woman has her personal genome analyzed for the BRCA1 mutation after learning that her father is heterozygous and carries one mutant allele. What is her chance of inheriting the mutant allele from her father? 0: men cannot transmit genes affecting breast cancer. 25% 50% 75% 100% Among the progeny of a heterozygous round (Aa) x homozygous wrinkled ( aa) cross, three seeds are chosen at random. What is the probability that all three seeds are round? (1/4)3 1/4 (1/2) 3 1/2 A single gene can produce different proteins. True FalseIn a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Gg Ll Tt is test-crossed to a pure-breeding recessive plant with the genotype gg ll tt. The offspring genotypes are listed in the table. Genotype Number Gg Ll Tt 621 Gg Ll tt 3 Gg ll Tt 64 Gg ll tt 109 gg Ll Tt 103 gg Ll tt 67 gg ll Tt 7 gg ll tt 626 1600 Calculate the recombination frequency between G and T pair of genes. A. 0.227 B. 0.139 C. 0.454 D. 0.233A couple enters your genetic counseling clinic for some family planning advice. 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).
- A research team genotyped hundreds of families affected by haemophilia. Among those families, they found many that had a pattern of RFLP like that of daughter1, her husband and her parents. When they genotyped the children in those families, they found the following association between the RFLP and hemophilia: The numbers at the bottom indicate the number of progeny with that combination of hemophilia phenotype and RFLP polymorphism found among these families. What is the map distance between the RFLP and the hemophilia gene? Show your work.In a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Mm Rr Ss is test crossed to a pure breeding recessive plant with the genotype mm rr ss. The offspring genotypes are as follows: Genotype Number Mm Rr Ss 687 Mm Rr ss 5 Mm rr Ss 68 Mm rr ss 196 mm Rr Ss 185 mm Rr ss 72 mm rr Ss 8 mm rr ss 679 Total 1900 1. Why is the recombination frequency for the outside pair of genes not equal to the sum of the recombination between the adjacent gene pairs?The amount of enzyme activity in a cell that is homozygous for a mutant allele is 20 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a cell homozygous for the WT allele is 10 units. It is known that 14 units of enzyme activity is required to show the trait. What is the dominance relationship between the WT and mutant allele for the phenotype of amount of enzyme per cell? A) The WT allele is dominant. B) The mutant allele is dominant. C) The WT and mutant alleles are codominant. D) The WT and mutant alleles show incomplete dominance. E) It is impossible to determine from the information given.
