Introduction:
Genotype is the genetic constitution of an organism that influences its physical features that are collectively termed as the phenotype of an organism. Genotype and phenotype are related to each other in a way that the latter is influenced by the previous one. Alleles are the different copies of the same gene.

Dimples (D) are a dominant trait genetic trait. Complete a Punnett Square to determine the possible phenotypes and genotypes of a cross between a man who is homozygous dominant and a heterozygous woman. Choose the percentages correctly below.
Dimples: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
No dimples: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
DD: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
Dd: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
dd: 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
Describe the following (50 words minimum per concept): chromosomes, genes, alleles and traits and explain how they are related.
In "Analyzing a Punnett Square", identify the genotype for each number represented in the 1:2:1 ratio.

A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "N" for normal and "n" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (NN or Nn or nn) but a man will have only one allele (N or n). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a.What are the genotypes of the parents? b.What is the probability that a male offspring will have hemophilia? c. What is the probability of having a hemophiliac female offspring?arrow_forward
- In this part, you will work out on X-linked traits. Remember that males have only one X chromosome and females have two. For X-linked recessive, use the following designations: XA= normal Xa= the trait (a genetic disease or abnormality) For X-linked dominant, use the following designations: XA= the trait (a genetic disease or abnormality) Xa= normal Determine if the pedigrees below can be for a trait that is X-linked recessive. Write the genotype next to the symbol for each person in the pedigree below. A. Is it possible that this pedigree is for an X-linked recessive trait? B. What can you conclude about the children of mothers affected with an X-linked recessive characteristic? C. What can you conclude about the father of an affected female?arrow_forwardPrepare a Punnet square, genotype, and pedigree analysis for the given pedigree chart note: - genetic trait is curly representation from the figure - circle is female - square is male - shaded shape is affected - lined shape is deceased -arrow_forwardPlease find an Image/Graphic to represent sickle cell disease: Use at least two different images to help the audience understand the cause and/or inheritance pattern of the disorder you chose. Include a brief 1-2 sentence caption below each image that gives a description of the image and explains its relevance to your chosen disorder. The two images should NOT convey the same exact information. Ideas of images to use include: karyotypes, pedigrees, DNA sequences, etc. Please note: the images should be specific to your chosen disorder. The 2 required images must be related to cause and/or inheritance pattern. Images of an individual with the disorder will not count toward your 2 required images as they do not contribute to the audience's understanding of cause and/or inheritance pattern.arrow_forward
