Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Red eyes is the wild-type phenotype in Drosophila, and severaldifferent genes (with each gene existing in two or more alleles) affect eye color. One allele causes purple eyes, and a different allelecauses vermilion eyes. The purple and vermilion alleles are recessive to red eye color. Two types of crosses provided thefollowing data:Cross 1: Males with vermilion eyes × females with purple eyes354 offspring, all with red eyesCross 2: Males with purple eyes × females with vermilion eyes212 male offspring with vermilion eyes221 female offspring with red eyesExplain the pattern of inheritance based on these results. Whatadditional crosses might you make to confirm your hypothesis?
In cats, orange coat color is determined by the b allele, and blackcoat color is determined by the B allele. The heterozygous conditionresults in a coat pattern known as tortoiseshell. These genesare X-linked. What kinds of offspring would be expected from across of a black male and a tortoiseshell female? What are thechances of getting a tortoiseshell male?
When Calvin Bridges observed a large number of offspring from a cross of white-eyed female Drosophila tored-eyed males, he found very rare white-eyed femalesand red-eyed males among the offspring. He was ableto show that these exceptions resulted from nondisjunction, such that the white-eyed females had received twoXs from the egg and a Y from the sperm, while thered-eyed males had received no sex chromosome fromthe egg and an X from the sperm. What progeny wouldhave arisen from these same kinds of nondisjunctionalevents if they had occurred in the male parent? Whatwould their eye colors have been?
. In mice, the dominant allele Gs of the X-linked geneGreasy produces shiny fur, while the recessive wildtype Gs+ allele determines normal fur. The dominantallele Bhd of the X-linked Broadhead gene causesskeletal abnormalities including broad heads andsnouts, while the recessive wild-type Bhd+ alleleyields normal skeletons. Female mice heterozygousfor the two alleles of both genes were mated withwild-type males. Among 100 male progeny of thiscross, 49 had shiny fur, 48 had skeletal abnormalities,2 had shiny fur and skeletal abnormalities, and 1 waswild type.a. Diagram the cross described and calculate thedistance between the two genes.b. What would have been the results if you hadcounted 100 female progeny of the cross?
Morgan first suggested that theoriginal white-eyed male had two copies of the white-eye allele. Inthis problem, let’s assume that he meant the fly was XwYwinstead ofXw Y What crosses would need to be made to rule out the possibility thatthe Y chromosome carries a copy of the eye color gene?

Pigment produced in cells which are located at the base of growing hairs is packedinto granules which are then transferred to the growing hair shaft. The gene controllingthis transfer of pigment granules to growing hair has the alternative allelesD : uniform distribution of pigment granules in hair ---- intense colourd : uneven distribution of pigment granules in hair -------dilute colourThe colour of cats homozygous dd, is diluted as shown below non dilute dilute black dd blue brown dd lavender orange dd cream The colour of cats either DD or Dd is intense, or non-dilute. Note that alternativenames for colours are sometimes used. Seal for black, grey for blue, chocolate forbrown, lilac for lavender and red or yellow for orange.
