Shown in the pictures below are the degrees of dominance in the inheritance of flower color in some plants. *Based on the phenotypes (or maybe genotype), differentiate between complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. Be able to discuss the difference briefly but concisely. You may also refer to the definition.
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
In Shorthorn cattle, coat color is controlled by a single gene thatcan exist as a red allele (R) or a white allele (r). The heterozygotes (Rr) have a color called roan that looks less red than theRR homozygotes. However, when examined carefully, the roanphenotype in cattle is actually due to a mixture of completelyred hairs and completely white hairs. Should this be calledincomplete dominance, codominance, or something else?Explain your reasoning
The dominance pattern of a gene can be determined from the phenotypes of the parents and offspring. In the examples below, assume that each parent is homozygous for the specific allele and that the progeny are heterozygous. Classify each example as either complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or codominance. Complete dominance Incomplete dominance Codominance Answer Bank A black sheep and a white sheep produce a gray lamb. A white cow and a red bull have a calf that is white with red spots (roan colored). A mother with type A blood and a father with type B blood have a daughter with type AB blood. A pea plant with all purple flowers and a pea plant with all white flowers produce a pea plant with all purple flowers. A moth with red wings and a moth with yellow wings produce a moth with orange wings.
To play Jeopardy, the answer is given. You must supply the question. Choose the best question for the following answer: Mutant allele causing malfunction of the wild-type allele, giving rise to a dominant phenotype. What is codominance? What is incomplete dominance? O What is dominant negative? O What is haploinsufficiency?
In Labrador retriever dogs, two alleles (B and b) determine whether coat colour will be black (B)or brown (b). Black coat colour is dominant. A second pair of alleles, E and e, are on a separatechromosome from B and b. The homozygous recessive condition, ee, prevents the expressionof either allele B or b, and produces a dog with a yellow-coloured coat. Some examples ofgenotypes and phenotypes for Labrador retrievers are shown below.Genotype PhenotypeBBEe blackbbEe brownBbee yellow Two dogs, each with the genotype, BbEe, were crossed. What is the percentageprobability that their offspring will have yellow coat colour? (Record your answer as awhole number percentage)
Heterozygous individuals perpetuate some alleles that have lethal effects in homozygous individuals. A mutated allele (ML) associated with taillessness in Manx cats (left) is an example. Cats homozygous for this allele (MLML) typically die before birth due to severe spinal cord defects. In a case of incomplete dominance, cats heterozygous for the ML allele and the normal, unmutated allele (M) have a short, stumpy tail or none at all. Two MLM cats mate. What is the probability that any one of their surviving kittens will be heterozygous?
Draw all possible conclusions concerning the mode of inheritanceof the trait expressed in each of the following limited pedigrees.(Each case is based on a different trait.)
Xg is an antigen found on red blood cells. This antigen is caused by an Xlinked allele (Xa) that is dominant over an allele for the absence of the antigen (X–). The inheritance of these X-linked alleles was studied in children with chromosome abnormalities to determine where nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes took place. For each type of mating in parts a through d, indicate whether nondisjunction took placein the mother or in the father and, if possible, whether it took place in meiosis I or meiosis II (assume no crossing over). Q. XaY × XaX- → X- X- Y (Klinefelter syndrome)
