In fruit flies, the dominant H allele gives rise to a hairless phenotype, hh gives rise to normal body bristles, and the HH homozygote condition is lethal during an embryonic stage. The presence of a dominant S allele suppresses the effect of the dominat H allele with respect to the body bristles phenotype such that normal body bristle phenotype is restored when only one dominant H allele is present (HH is lethal irrespective of the S or s alleles). The ss genotype has no effect over the H allele and the SS homozygote condition is also lethal during an embryonic stage. What would be the expected phenotypic outcomes among the surviving offspring from the following cross: HhSs X hhSs 2 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 7 normal body bristles: 2 hairless 1 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 3 normal body bristles: 1 hairless 5 normal body bristles: 1 hairless

y 301 Amelogenesis imperfecta is X-linked dominant. Affected XY individuals have extremely thin enamel on the teeth while XX carriers have grooved teeth from uneven deposition of enamel. If an unaffected XY individual were to produce children with a XX carrier partner, a. what would be the expected chance of a XY child being affected with the disease? b. what would be the expected chance of a XY child being affected with the disease?
Fat mice can be produced by two independent genes. The "oo" genotype generates a fat and sterile mouse, called obese; its dominant "O" allele results in normal growth. The recessive "aa" genotype also produces a fat, sterile mouse called adipose, while its dominant allele causes normal growth. What phenotypic ratios of fat versus normal mice can we expect in F1, being the parents of the OoAa genotype?
In humans, the Rh factor genetic information is inherited from our parents, but it is inherited independently of the ABO blood type alleles. In humans, Rh+ individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh- individuals do not. There are two different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and rh. Assume that a dominant gene Rh produces the Rh+ phenotype, and that the recessive rh allele produces the Rh- phenotype. In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if 160 out of 200 individuals are Rh+, calculate the frequencies of both alleles.
In humans, four different blood types (A, B, AB, and O) are encoded by three alleles 1, 1, and i Individuals with both I and I alleles have blood type AB (red blood cells with both A and B antigens). Two copies of the i allele are required for an individual to have blood type O (red blood cells with no antigens). Which of the following correctly indicates the relationship between the I and / alleles for the blood type gene? Select one: OA. I is dominant to / OB. I is recessive to i OC. I and I are co-dominant OD. I and/exemplify incomplete dominance
A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles. a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom. b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have: b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? b.2 a child of normal height? b.3 a child with type AB blood? b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman? b.7 a son with same genotype as the man?
In humans, the genes for red-green color blindness (R = normal, r = color blind) and hemophilia A (H = normal, h = hemophilia) are both X-linked and only 3 map units apart. Suppose a woman has four sons, and two are color blind but have normal blood clotting and two have hemophilia but normal color vision. What is the probable genotype of the woman?

In humans, the mic2 gene (involved in antibody production) is found on sex chromosomes and has pseudoautosomal inheritance. If a female that is a mic2a is mated to a phenotypically mic2b male then what would be resulting ratios of the offspring? (note; the mic2a and 2b alleles are codominant) O 50% mic2a and 50% mic2b for both sexes O 100% mic2a/2b for both males and females O all females are mic2a/2b whereas males are all mic2a all females are mic2b whereas males are all mic2a
A homozygous recessive allele, aa, is responsible for albinism. Humans can exhibit this phenotype. In each of the following cases, determine the possible genotypes of the mother and father, and of their children: (a) Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are unaffected: (b) Both parents are albino and have only albino children: (c) The woman is unaffected, the man is albino, and they have one albino child and three unaffected children: at a busy hospital. The son of the first couple has hemophilia, a recessive, X-linked Two mothers give birth to sor disease. Neither parent from couple #1 has the disease. The second couple has an unaffected son, despite the fact that the father has hemophilia. The two couples challenge the hospital in court, claiming their babies must have beer swapped at birth. You must advise as to whether or not the sons could have been swapped. What would you say? 5. In a dispute over parentage, the mother of a child with…
Let’s suppose that two different X-linked genes exist in mice,designated with the letters N and L. Gene N exists in a dominant,normal allele and in a recessive allele, n, that is lethal. Similarly,gene L exists in a dominant, normal allele and in a recessive allele,l, that is lethal. Heterozygous females are normal, but males thatcarry either recessive allele are born dead. Explain whether or notit would be possible to map the distance between these two genesby making crosses and analyzing the number of living and deadoffspring. You may assume that you have strains of mice in whichfemales are heterozygous for one or both genes.
In a woman who is a carrier of a mutant OTC deficiency allele, her sons who receive the mutant allele will be affected and her daughters will be carriers who may or may not be symptomatic, depending on random X inactivation in the liver. 1) Is this a single gene inheritance or multifactorial disease? 2) Is there a strong genetic or environmental cause to the development of this disease? If both genetic and environmental causes are implicated, you have to indicate each of them separately.

The mode of inheritance of the auricular hypertrichous trait in the Brown family is clearly an instance of: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. b d recessive inheritance with the females being carriers. dominant inheritance with the males being carriers. X-linked inheritance, which is being expressed in the males since they only have one X chromosome. Y-linked inheritance, which can never be passed on to females.
