Introduction:
These crosses involve the trihybrid traits and each parent provides 6 gametes each thus making a total of 12 gametes. The fusion of gametes is a random process and it may result in any one type of the offspring predicted from the crosses.

- 1. In this example, DNA samples from four individuals were amplified for a particular gene. Which individuals could have a parent-child relationship? (Select all that apply.) Jose: alleles 1 and 2 Matilda: alleles 3 and 4 Zeke: alleles 3 and 5 Lena: alleles 1 and 2 a) Jose and Lena b) Jose and matilda c) Jose and Zeke d) Matilda and Zeke e) Zeke and Lena f) Matilda and lena g) all individuals could be related to each other 2. If jose and Lena are siblings, which of the following statements could be true of their parents/ a) each parent has one copy of allele 1 and one copy of allele 2 b) one parent has two copies of allele 1 and the other has two copies of allele 2. c) one parent has two copies of one the alleles and the other parent has one copy of each allele d) If one parent has alleles 1 and 2 the other parent could have totally different allelesarrow_forwardCompare the bands of each set of parents to each of the babies and determine vhich baby belongs to which set of parents. Line up the bands and illustrate vhich bands each baby inherited from its mother and from its father.

Identify which baby belongs to which set of parents. b. Explain why not all the bands in the mother's or father's profiles have counterpart in the baby's DNA profile. c. List other examples where DNA fingerprinting could be used to identify an individual. d. Explain why blood typing may not be a viable method of determining which baby belongs to which parent. e.

Which of the following statements about this situation is true? Group of answer choices A)The offspring represent the P generation. B)The gametes produced by the offspring will carry only one allele for this gene. C)Both parents are referred to as heterozygotes. D)Half of the offspring will be true-breeding for white flowers.arrow_forwardIn Mexican hairless dogs, a dominant allele codes for hairlessness. However, inheriting two dominant alleles is lethal; the fetus dies before birth. Suppose a breeder mates two dogs that are heterozygous for the hair allele. What are the predicted genotype and phenotype ratios of the puppies that are born? A) Phenotype Ratio 1:2:1 Genotype Ratio: 1:2:1 B) Phenotype Ratio 2:1 Genotype Ratio: 0:2:1 C) Phenotype Ratio 3:1 Genotype Ratio: 1:2:1 D) Phenotype Ratio 1:2:1 Genotype Ratio: 3:1arrow_forward

- 3) Suppose that an allele, b, of a sex-linked gene, is recessive and lethal. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. If this couple had 10 children, what would be the predicted sex ratio of these children (ratio of male children to female children)?

The climate has continued to warm. Areas in northern Canada and Alaska are without snow or ice; the average annual temperature has risen and previously snow-covered areas are now shrub land and some temperate forests. What effect would such a climatic change have on the gene pool of the rabbits? All BUT ONE could apply. A) The allelic frequency has most likely shifted to 85% GG and 15% gg. B) The dominant allele in the gene pool would become G, the previously rare allele. C) The allele for white, g, would be scarce and perhaps nonexistent in the population. D) White rabbits would be at a disadvantage in terms of camouflage and would likely fall prey to predators.arrow_forward
