Half of the worlds population eats rice at least twice a day. Much of this rice is grown in flooded conditions, and different strains of rice are tolerant (survive) or intolerant (die) under these conditions. Rice breeders used genetic crosses to test whether tolerance to flooding is a dominant trait. Researchers used three true-breeding flood-tolerant strains, FR143, BKNFR, and Kurk, and two true-breeding flood- intolerant strains, IR42 and NB, in the crosses. Results were obtained from three sets of crosses and are reported in the Table below: Results of cross of F1 to tolerant parent: F1 plants were crossed with the tolerant parent of the cross. Number of Plants Progeny Analyzed from Intolerant Tolerant Cross Alive Dead Total 1. F2 results of cross: IR42 FR13A 187 77 264 IR42 BKNFR 192 73 265 NB Kurk 142 52 195 2. Results of cross of F1 to intolerant parent: (F1 of IR42 FR13A) IR42 14 17 31 (F1 of IR42 BKNFR) IR42 15 10 25 (F1 of NB Kurk) NB 21 35 56 3. Results of cross of F1 to tolerant parent: (F1 of IR42 FR13A) FR13A 31 0 31 (F1 of IR42 BKNFR) BKNFR 28 0 28 (F1 of NB Kurk) Kurk 40 0 40 Do the data support the hypothesis that the tolerance trait is dominant? Justify your conclusion by explaining the results from each of the three sets of crosses in terms of genotypes and phenotypic ratios. Source: T. Setter et al. 1997. Physiology and genetics of submergence tolerance in rice. Annals of Botany 79:6777.
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
If all copies of a given locus have the same allele throughout the population, the allele frequency is (a) 0 (b) 0.1 (c) 0.5 (d) 1.0 (e) 10.0
If there is no genetic variation within a population for a given trait, what is the heritability for the trait in the population?
Use the following information to respond to the three questions posed below: (1) The proband (affected individual who led to the construction of the pedigree) exhibits the trait. (2) Neither her husband nor her only sibling, an older brother, exhibits the trait. (3) The proband has five children by her current husband. The oldest is a boy, followed by a girl, then another boy, and then identical twin girls. Only the second oldest fails to exhibit the trait. (4) Both parents of the proband show the trait. a. Construct a pedigree of the trait in this family. b. Determine how the trait is inherited (go step by step to examine each possible pattern of inheritance). c. Can you deduce the genotype of the probands husband for this trait?
Why are monozygotic twins who are reared apart so useful in the calculation of heritability?
What role would twin and adoption studies play in selecting a model for determining whether attendance at medical school is a heritable trait? What heritability values would make you take the study to the next level?
A population of mice is at HardyWeinberg equilibrium at a gene locus that controls fur color. The locus has two alleles, M and m. A genetic analysis of one population reveals that 60% of its gametes carry the M allele. What percentage of mice contains both the M and m alleles? a. 60% b. 48% c. 40% d. 36% e. 16%
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.

In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
