Suppose we know both parents are heterozygous for a trait. Which would we predict if they have a lot of kids? O The kids may be homozygous for the dominant trait, homozygous for the recessive trait, or heterozygous. O All kids will be heterozygous too. O All kids will be homozygous - half for the dominant trait, half for the recessive trait. O No predictions are really possible.

Suppose "A" is a dominant gene and "a" is the corresponding recessive gene. One parent is heterozygous for the trait and the other is homozygous recessive. If they have a lot of children, which of the following is most likely? O Half are likely to be Aa, half aa O All kids will likely be AA O All kids will likely be aa O Three-fourths are likely to to be Aa, one-fourth aa O One-fourth will likely be AA, one fourth aa, and one half Aa
n an example of recessive epistasis the deposition of pigment into hair follicles of the Labrador Retriever is governed by a dominant gene (C) and lack of deposition by its recessive allele (c). Lack of pigment deposition produces a yellow coat color. The color of pigment is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene, the dominant allele (B) produces black pigment and its recessive allele (b) produces brown. What coat color ratio is expected from the cross of a brown dog (bbCc) to a black dog (BbCc)? 1/2 brown, 1/2 black 1/4 black, 1/4 brown, 1/2 yellow 1/2 black, 1/4 brown, 1/4 yellow 3/8 black, 1/8 brown, 1/2 yellow 3/8 black, 3/8 brown, 1/4 yellow
What explains how the parents in a family both have the same eye color, but some of their children have a different eye color? Assume for this example that eye color is determined by a single gene. ● One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other homozygous recessive for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait. O The parents are both heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O The parents are both homozygous dominant for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait.
For fruit flies, grey body color (allele G) is dominant over black body color (allele g). Two grey bodied fruit flies have offspring. All of their offspring are grey. What can you conclude about the genotypes of the parent flies? O You cannot conclude anything definitive about the parents genotypes. O They were both heterozygous. O They were both homozygous dominant. O They were both homozygous recessive. O At least one parent was heterozygous.
All of the following statements aboutinheritance are true, except one. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT ? O All genes have two alleles: one dominant and one recessive. Some phenotypes arise from the interaction of more than one gene. O Incomplete dominance is when heterozygotes express a phenotype that appears to be a blend between the phenotypes of homozygotes. O Even If you know the genotypes of both parents, you cannot always know with certainty the genotype their child will have.
Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in miniature horses. Achondroplasia dwarf horses have normal sized bodies and heads, but noticeably smaller upper legs and ears. This form of dwarfism is an autosomal dominant trait. The pedigree shows the offspring of one horse without dwarfism, Individual 1, and one with dwarfism, Individual 2. The horses with achondroplasia are shorter. 1 2
In human’s farsightedness is inherited by possession of a dominant allele A. If a man who is homozygous for normal vision aa marries a woman who is heterozygous for farsightedness Aa, what proportion of their children would be expected to be farsighted?
For fruit flies, grey body color (allele G) is dominant over black body color (allele g). Two grey bodied fruit flies have offspring. Some of their offspring are black. What can you conclude about the genotypes of the parent flies? O They are both heterozygous. O They are both homozygous dominant. O They are both homozygous recessive. O You cannot conclude anything definitive about the parents genotypes.
If two alleles show incomplete dominance O the genotypes of homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals are difficult to determine. O the genotype of heterozygous individuals can be directly determined from phenotype. O they are inherited at a 3:1 ratio. O they cannot be assessed using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, as there is no recessive allele. O they will be favored during recombination over the recessive allele.
The comb shape of chickens is an example of an interesting inheritance pattern. Two genes, each with a dominant and recessive allele, determine comb phenotypes as follows: Comb Shape Description Genotype Single Comb homozygous recessive for both r and p rrpp Walnut comb both dominant alleles are present; R and P alleles are present R_P_ Pea comb the dominant allele P is present and the dominant allele R is absent rrP_ Rose comb the dominant allele R is present and the dominant allele P is absent R_pp Which of the following represents the correct phenotypes of the F2 offspring? Select one: a. Phenotype Single Walnut Pea Rose 9/16 3/16 3/16 1/16 b. Phenotype Single Walnut Pea Rose 3/16 1/16 9/16 3/16 c. Phenotype Single Walnut Pea Rose 1/16 9/16 3/16 3/16 d.

In mice, tail shape (bent vs. straight) is controlled by alleles of one gene. You cross a mouse with a bent tail to a mouse with a straight tail. Half of the offspring have bent tails, half have straight tails (regardless of sex). What can you conclude? O Both mice are homozygous Bent is dominant to straight Both mice are heterozygous O One mouse is heterozygous, the other is homozygous O Straight is dominant to Bent
