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 Drosophila, the wildtype eye color is black. In the laboratory, you screened for mutants than when homozygous results to different eye phenotypes. You found two mutants 1) red eye (re) and 2) white eye (we). You performed a complementation test and the resulting eye phenotype was gray. From the results, what conclusion can you make? A. There was complementation, thus the two mutations are alleles of different genes. B. There was no complementation, thus the two mutations are alleles of different genes. C. The two mutations failed to complement, thus they are alleles of different genes. D. The two mutations failed to complement, thus they are alleles of the same genes. E. The two mutations complemented, hence they are likely controlled by different genes.
In rats, the following genotypes of two independently assorting autosomal genes determine coat color: A_B_ (gray); A_bb (yellow); aaB_ (black); aabb (cream). A third gene pair on a separate autosome determines whether or not any color will be produced. The CC and Cc genotypes allow color according to the expression of the A and B alleles. However, the cc genotype results in albino rats regardless of the A and Balleles present. Determine the F1 phenotypic ratio of the following crosses: (a) AAbbCC x aaBBcc; (b) AAbbCC x aaBBcc; (c) AABBCC x AABbcc.
Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate. What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2? Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis. Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype. A-B- A-bb aaB- aabb
Genes A, B, C, D, and E are independently assorting. The dominant alleles A, B, C and D encode enzymes that catalyse the corresponding reactions indicated above. The recessive alleles a, b, c and d are non-functional and do not produce active enzymes. The dominant E allele totally inhibits the action of gene C, while the recessive allele e has no effect. a) Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypes from a cross between AAbbCCDDEE and AABBCCDDee plants. b) What proportion of the offspring of an AaBBCCDdEe x AaBBCcDdEe cross is expected to have coloured flowers?
Here is a family pedigree for an imprinting disorder caused by a loss of function mutation in a single imprinted gene. After generation I only related individuals are shown. You can assume that the parents not included in the pedigree did not carry the mutation. %3D II IV V Male O Female Affected Carrier a) Does the mutation involve a gene that is normally expressed from the maternal or from the paternal allele? Briefly explain your logic. b) Identify two ways in which the pattern of inheritance shown in the pedigree is different from X-linked inheritance I. Parthenogenesis has been documented in most vertebrate Classes (e.g. birds, fish) but never in mammals. Genomic imprinting provides one explanation for this observation. Why?
For a particular gene, homozygous dominant AA and heterozygous Aa individuals produce green pigment, while homozygous recessive aa individuals produce yellow pigment. During the course of your research you discover the a1 allele that contains a class IlI transposon insertion. Allele A is dominant to a1. Which genotype is capable of producing a mixture of green and yellow pigment?
3) You have identified an interesting mutant in gene P. Using a Punnett square, demonstrate the cross you perform to determine if it is a dominant or recessive mutation compared to the WT gene P allele. Write the expected ratios for either scenario. 4) You have determined the mutation is dominant when compared to the WT allele. Briefly describe a technique you could use to determine if expression levels of gene P have been altered in this mutant. 5) You have determined the expression level of gene P has increased. What class/type of mutation would cause this?
The Drosophila gene Sex lethal (Sxl) is deserving of itsname. Certain alleles have no effect on XY animals butcause XX animals to die early in development. Other alleles have no effect on XX animals but cause XY animals to die early in development. Thus, some Sxl allelesare lethal to females, while others are lethal to males.a. Would you expect a null mutation in Sxl to causelethality in males or in females? b. Why do Sxl alleles of either type cause lethality ina specific sex?The gene transformer (tra) gets its name from sexualtransformation, as some tra alleles can change XXanimals into morphological males, while other traalleles can change XY animals into morphologicalfemales.c. Which of these sex transformations would becaused by null alleles of tra and which would becaused by constitutively active alleles of tra?d. In contrast with Sxl, null tra mutations do notcause lethality either in XX or in XY animals.However, the Sxl protein regulates the productionof the Tra protein. Why…
It is assumed that in Drosophila the following genotypes produce phenotypes. َA- B- = Red color A- bb = Plum color aa B- = Magenta color aa bb = White color The third latent genotype, cc, kills homozygous Plums, but has no effect on other genotypes. Also, genotype C- does not produce a large phenotype. If first-generation Drosophilas are heterozygous for all of these genes and interbreed, what phenotypic ratios are expected in society?
In wheat, aleurone cells form a thin layer of the seed coat that is critical to early gene expression in plant development. The color of this layer of cells is controlled by two alleles of a gene [colored aleurone (R) is dominant to colorless (r)]. A second gene is known to control the color of leaf tips [green leaf tip (G) is dominant to yellow (g)]. Two plants, each heterozygous for both characteristics, are test crossed to homozygous recessives, and their progeny are combined to produce the following totals: colored green 102 colored yellow 98 colorless green 103 colorless yellow 97 a) Use chi-square analysis to test these data for an independent assortment of the two characteristics (table provided). Please show work, how your expected values are calculated, and explain what your results indicate about the data. b) You decide to be cautious in your analysis, and decide to analyze the progeny from each of the crosses individually (instead of adding them together as shown above).…
There are two genetic disorders that result from mutation in imprinted genes: Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome. Prader-Willi syndrome results from deletion of region 15q11-q13, which in healthy individuals is a region imprinted such that only the paternal copy is expressed. In the pedigree above, individual I-1 is heterozygous for a deletion of region 15q11-q13 and does not have Prader-Willi syndrome. Individuals I-2 and II-1 are both homozygous wild type for the region. Which individuals in the pedigree might have Prader-Willi syndrome? (Who could potentially have the syndrome, based on what alleles it is possible for them to inherit and express?) Question 9 options: Only II-2 could have Prader-Willi syndrome III-1 could have Prader-Willi syndrome in the presented pedigree; II-2 could only have had it if she were male Both II-2 and III-1 could have Prader-Willi syndrome II-2 could have…
Pigments in some bears are the result of epistasis between 2 genes. The black coat color is only produced when both wildtype forms of genes D and E are present. When gene D (D-ee) is wildtype alone, offspring are white. When gene E (ddE-) is wildtype alone, offspring are brown. When no wildtype alleles are present (ddee) offspring are all white. Based on this describe the relationship between the genes D and E. Group of answer choices A-D is dominant to E B- E is dominant to D C- D is epistatic to E D- E is epistatic to D
