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.

Question

2) Wolves sometimes have black coats with blue eyes. These two traits are controlled by genes on different chromosomes. Agouti coats are dominant (A) to black coats. Brown eyes are dominant (B) to blue eyes.

a. A male blue eyed black coat male mates with a female heterozygous for both traits. How many possible different phenotypes can they produce?

b. If they have 12 pups what is the expected numbers of each of the above phenotypes?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

1. In rabbits, mono-colored fur (F) and straight ears (E) are dominant over spotted-fur and floppy ears. Your son owns a rabbit possessing white fur and floppy ears, and he mated it with another rabbit. The offspring of the rabbits turn out to be 8 in total. 4 are possessing white fur with straight ears, while the remaining 4 has spotted white and brown fur with straight ears. a. What are the traits (phenotype) present on the other rabbit mated to your son’s rabbit? Create a table to properly note the phenotypes and genotypes. Considering that your son continued breeding his rabbit to the original rabbit, what will be the probability that it will produce: b. male white fur with straight eared rabbit c. 2 male white fur with floppy eared rabbit d. 2 male white furred, straight eared rabbits and 4 female spotted white and brown, straight eared rabbits
A fruit fly with a gray body and red eyes (genotype BbPp) is mated with a fly having a black and purple eye (genotype bbpp).1.Show diagrammatically a genetic cross between the two flies and the possible genotypes and phenotypes of F1. What ratio of offspring would you expect if the body-color and eye-color genes are on different chromosomes (unlinked)? 2. When mating is actually carried out, most of the offspring look like the parents, but 3% have a gray body and purple eyes, and 3% have a black body and red eyes. Compare and discuss the observation with your answer in part (a)

During breeding season, lizards attract mates by bobbing their heads and displaying colorful throat patches. The genes for these traits are on different chromosomes. Fast bobbing heads (F) and red throat patches (R) are dominant to slow bobbing heads and yellow patches. a. A male lizard heterozygous for head bobbing and homozygous dominant for the red throat patch mates with a female that is also heterozygous for head bobbing but is homozygous recessive for yellow throat patches. How many of their offspring will have fast bobbing heads and red throat patches (assume 16 young). b. Assume that lizards prefer to mate with other lizards with fast bobbing heads and red throat patches. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will lack mates because they are slow bobbers with yellow throats? c. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will have only one of the two desired traits?
