You observe a flock of seagulls with 25 members. After performing a genetic analysis, you discover that 12 are homozygous dominant for brown eyes (BB), 8 are heterozygous for brown eyes (Bb), and 5 are homozygous recessive for blue eyes (bb). Is the dominant or the recessive allele more prevalent? The dominant allele is more prevalent. The alleles are equally prevalent. The recessive allele is more prevalent.

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.

f you have a recessive phenotype for a given trait, but neither of your parents has that phenotype, what can you say about the genotype of your parents for that trait? Both of your parents have to be hetorozygous One of your parents might be homozygous dominant but the other has to be hetorozygous Both of your parents must be homozygous dominant Both of your parents have to be homozygous recessive
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. All kids will be homozygous - half for the dominant trait, half for the recessive trait. O No predictions are really possible.
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

Hummingbirds have brightly colored feathers on their throats that are used to attract mates. Let's say these feathers come in three different colors red (R), yellow (Y) and grey (g). The red and yellow alleles are codominant when present together, and both red and yellow are dominant when paired with the recessive grey allele. (Hint - this is the same as the ABO blood groups in humans and, is not sex-linked). please show your work. a. A grey female mates with a yellow throated male and she lays 4 eggs. All of the resulting chicks have yellow-colored throats. What is the genotype of the male that fathered the chicks? b. The next year one of the female chicks from the nest above grows up and mates with a male that has both red and yellow feathers. What will be the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring, and in what proportion? Assume 4 young.

In humans, there is a gene that influences the ability to smell the thioesters present in urine after asparagus is eaten. The ability to smell these compounds is an autosomal dominant trait.
