If a dominant disorder is described as being 80% penetrant, what would this mean? The amount of expression within individuals varies O The disorder is present in 20% of the individuals that have the dominant allele 20% of the individuals who have the dominant allele may have genes that mitigate (prevent) the disorder and therefore do not display symptoms O The trait is present in 80% of the total population.

In a population of 1,000 squirrels, 60 are melanistic. Agouti fur (each hair displays two or more bands of pigmentation) is dominant over melanistic fur (excess of pigmentation that leads to a dark, often almost black fur). How often is agouti fur expressed? 0.25 0.75 0.9375 0.06
In an effort to identify the influence of genetic factors on both Type 1 diabetes and Type Il diabetes, researchers calculated concordance rates for monozygotic twins. Concordance rates of 30-50% have been found for Type I diabetes with concordance rates of 80% for Type II. For both kinds of diabetes, dizygotic concordance rates were about 15%. What does this information suggest concerning the relative effect of genetic and environmental factors for each type of diabetes? O a. Type Il diabetes appears to be caused by a single, unidentified gene. O b. Genetic factors have little or no role in the occurrence of Type I diabetes. O c. Environmental factors have no role in the occurrence of either type of diabetes. O d. Type Il diabetes is primarily determined by non-genetic factors. O e. Genetic influences exert a larger role in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes. 1 points Save Answer

Background Reminders: Dominant allele will express itself in the phenotype even when in combination with a different allele (recessive). Example: PP and Pp (purple flowers) Recessive allele does not express itself in the phenotype when combined with another allele (dominant) Example: pp (white flower) -> expressed only when recessive is by itself Problem 1- Autosomal Dominant: Widow’s peak (hairline) Having widow’s peak is a dominant trait (use W and w to represent alleles) A man who has a widow’s peak has a child with a woman that does not have widow’s peak.

LO 78- Explain how organismal phenotypes can be influenced by more than one gene. Select the statements that are true about inheritance patterns of phenotypes Organismal traits can be monogenic or polygenic A gene can only affect one trait at a time Several regulatory genes can be related to several structural genes, giving rise to many possible phenotypes Pleiotropy is the existence of a wide range of phenotypes for a single trait In Mendelian inheritance, a single gene codes for a molecule which affects a single trait

Aav AaBbCc Normal No Spacing Heading 1 Paragraph Styles In man, two abnormal conditions, cataracts (C) in the eyes and excessive fragility (F) in the bones, seem to depend on separate dominant genes located on different chromosomes. Normal vision and normal bones are recessive traits. A man with cataracts and nomal bones, whose father had normal eyes, married a woman free from cataracts but with fragile bones. Her father had normal bones. 11. What is the genotype of the man with cataracts and nomal bones? What is the genotype of the woman with normal vision and fragile bones? What type of offspring might this couple expect? Genotypes Phenotypes What is the probability that their first child will, (a) be free from both abnormalities (b) have cataracts but not fragile bones (c) have fragile bones but not cataracts (d) have both cataracts and fragile bones? lili
