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.

In guinea pigs, short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l), and the heterozygous conditions ofyellow coat (CY) and white coat (CW) give cream coat. A short- haired, cream guinea pig is bredto a long-haired, white guinea pig, and a long-haired, cream baby guinea pig is produced. Whenthe baby grows up, it is bred back to the short-haired, cream parent. What phenotypic classes, andin what proportions, are expected among the offspring?
Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is homozygous dominant for gene C, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is heterozygous for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene I.Inhibition is dominant to uninhibited, pigmented feathers are dominant to unpigmented feathers.What is the probability of one of the offspring of these two chickens having white feathers? (percentage)
In rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c); heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted. Consider a cross between a heterozygous black-coated rabbit and a homozygous white-coated rabbit.
A recessive epistasis cross gives in the F2 a 9:3:4 phenotypic ratio. What is the expected phenotypic ratio when the F1 (BbEe) is crossed with the double recessive homozygote (bbee)? Keeping in mind ee masks the expression of B.
n mice, the Ay allele of the agouti gene is recessive lethal, but it is dominant to wild type for yellow coat color. For an unlinked gene called C, cc makes no pigment and are albino while C_ mice will make pigment in in their coat. cc is epistatic to A or AY with regard to coat color, but not for viability. What phenotypic ratio would you expect from the progeny produced by two mice of the genotype: AAy Cc? (Note that “agouti” is the wild-type coat color.) 9 agouti : 3 black : 3 white : 1 yellow 3 agouti : 6 yellow : 3 white 12 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown 9 agouti : 3 yellow : 4 white 8 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown
. The normal eye color of Drosophila is red, but strains inwhich all flies have brown eyes are available. Similarly,wings are normally long, but there are strains with shortwings. A female from a pure line with brown eyes andshort wings is crossed with a male from a normal pureline. The F1 consists of normal females and short-wingedmales. An F2 is then produced by intercrossing the F1.Both sexes of F2 flies show phenotypes as follows:38 red eyes, long wings38 red eyes, short wings18 brown eyes, long wings18 brown eyes, short wingsDeduce the inheritance of these phenotypes; useclearly defined genetic symbols of your own invention.State the genotypes of all three generations and thegenotypic proportions of the F1 and F2.Unpacking Problem 31Before attempting a solution to this problem, try answering thefollowing questions:1.

Miniature wings in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele (Xm) that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X+). Sepia eyes are produced by an autosomal allele (s) that is recessive to an allele for red eyes (s+). Q. A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies.
A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IA,IB and i alleles. The IAallele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB encodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to 0. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring are expected to have the AB blood type IAIBin which both arnigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: a. multiple alleles and incomplete dominance b. codominance and incomplete dominance c. incomplete dominance only d. multiple alleles and codominance
