Problem 2) Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showing incomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink & White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried out and the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunately the data was lost. The only data saved was that the brown homozygotes (BB) were 59% of the population . a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and white homozygotes? b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the next generation of dolphins in this population will contain the white W allele?

Activity 4 Identification of phenotype of known genotype The characteristic of the color of the red tomato fruit (R) is dominant over the characteristic of the yellow color (r) The characteristic of the color of white flowers (W) is dominant over the characteristic of the color of the yellow flowers (w), and the characteristic length of the stem of the plant (T) is dominant over the short characteristic (t) If a red fruit plant with yellow and long-stemmed flowers is crossed, with anotheryellow, white-flowered and short-stemmed plant, knowing that the dominant characteristic is pure. What is the phenotype of individuals of the resulting generation?

How does this large sample size make his results more reliable? O A. He was not sure which of the plants were female and which were male. B. Most of the plants were unable to reproduce, so he needed many of them. C. He used more plants so the experiment wouldn't take as long. D.

Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition. What genotypic ratios would you expect among the living offspring of the following crosses? a. RRRr b. RrRr

URGENT PLEASE HELP A researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes:F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, longYou know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results.a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the “brown, long” class.

punnett square practice 1. Let's say that in seals, the gene for the length of the whiskers has two alleles. The dominant allele (W) codes long whiskers and the recessive allele (w) codes for short whiskers. a. What is the probability of producing offspring that have short whiskers from a cross of two long-whiskered seals, one that is homozygous dominant and one that is heterozygous? Show your work on the punnett square. % long whiskers % short whiskers
