Question

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.

5

Which of the following is the correct pairing of phenotype and
genotype of Individual 5 in the pedigree?
A
Dwarf, Homozygous dominant
В
Dwarf, Heterozygous
C
Non-Dwarf, Homozygous recessive
D
Non-Dwarf, Heterozygous

Expert Solution

Step 1

ANSWER;- A)Dwarf, Homozygous dominant

Explain;- A cross between two homozygous assortments generally acquires all prevailing posterity. During a cross between homozygous tall (TT) and homozygous dwarf (tt), the tall parent delivers all gametes with "T allele" and the dwarf parent creates all gametes with "t allele".
