A woman is homozygous dominant for short fingers. She marries a man who is heterozygous for short fingers. What will the punnet square look like
Cardi B claims to have another baby. She’s telling gossip magazines that it’s Offset’s baby. Offset wants proof that it’s his. Cardi B is homozygous recessive for square face shape. Offset is homozygous dominant for round face shape. The baby was born with a round face shape. Is it possible the baby could be his? Use your own letters for this Punnett square.
Pedigree attached shows an autosomal recessive genetic disease. G is the normal allele and g is the disease-causing allele. Individual 1’s father is heterozygous (*) and his mother is homozygous dominant. Other individuals in the pedigree may be carriers, but are not marked. The question mark (?) indicates that you do not yet know anything about this individual’s phenotype with regard to the disease. part a) What is the probability that individuals 1 and 2 will have a child (5) who is a boy with the disease (the child is unborn and the sex is not yet known)? a)1/8 b)1/4 c)0 d)1/16 part b) What is the probability that the daughter (6) that individual 3 and 4 just had will have the disease? a)1/8 b)1/6 c)1/4 d)1/12
Assume no Bombay allele for this entire question.) Consider a cross between someone with blood type B+ with someone with blood type A+ (and you don’t know their genotype). a. Can they have a child with blood type O-? If not, why not? If so, give the genotypes of the parents that would allow this. (Remember to include the genotypes for the A/B/O gene as well as the Rh gene. ) Give two different sets of genotypes for these parents (B+ and A+) that would NOT allow them to have an O- child. Let’s say these two parents have a child with blood type B-. Give the genotypes of the parents and the child.

An organism that was heterozygous for all three genes was mated to an organism that was homozygous recessive for all three. The following phenotypes were seen in the offspring: All wild-type 422 Lyra and Stubble 4. Stubble and bright 16 Lyrà and bright 75 Lyra only 18 Stubble only 59 Bright only Lyra, Stubble, and bright 404. f. What are the alleles in the parental gametes?
In ___________ heterogeneity, a variety of mutations in a singlegene cause disease. Compound heterozygotes with twodifferent recessive loss-of-function mutations in the samegene may display the mutant phenotype.
This is a modified question from the textbook, Campbell Biology in Focus (3rd edition), question #5 on page 256. A man with normal vision marries a woman with normal vision whose father was red-green color-blind (a recessive, sex-linked condition). Assuming that the woman's mother had normal vision and did not carry the recessive gene, what is the probability that the married couple will have a color-blind daughter? That their first son will be color-blind? That their second son will be color-blind? Include Punnett square for each question in your answer. You may find the below diagram helpful (the orange square means the individual has the phenotype of color-blindness, while the beige means the individual is a carrier of the mutated color-blind gene where XN and Xn represent dominant and recessive allele, respectively).

Answer
Suppose gene B is X-linked and is embryonically lethal when homozygous or hemizygous recessive. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. They want to have three kids – one girl and two boys. Using a Punnett square, answer the following: What is the probability that they will have a son that dies before birth? _______________________ What is the probability that they will have a daughter who has the same genotype as her mother? _________________ One of their daughters eventually has a child with a man. One of their sons dies before birth. What was the genotype of this daughter? _______________________________ please show me how to get the answer and explain how you got and use a punnet square
This question deals with Mendelian Genetics. Read each part carefully before you answer it. In the following questions, assume green pea pods are dominant over yellow pea pods. a) If a pea plant that is Heterozygous for pod color is crossed with a pea plant with yellow pods, what do you expect to see in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use G for the green pod gene and g for the yellow pod gene.) (It is usually helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.)
