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.

Group of answer choices
A. only i and iii are possible oucomes
B. only i and ii are possible oucomes
C. all four (i, ii, iii, and iv) are possible phenotypes
D. only ii and iii are possible oucomes
E. only i,ii, and iii are possible oucomes
Females from a pure-breeding curly-winged strain are mated with males from a pure-breeding straight-winged (wild-type) strain. The F1 mate with each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curly wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation?
Explain your answer and why the other options do not qualify,
A) Curly wings is a recessive trait.
B) The dominant curly wing allele is also a recessive lethal.
C) Wing shape is controlled by two codominant alleles.
D) Two interacting genes determine wing shape.
E) All of the hybrid F 1 flies had straight wings.

- Below is a pedigree of a human blinding disease. Use this pedigree to answer the following questions. If this is disease has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, what is the probability that if individuals IV-5 and III-5 had and offspring it would exhibit the disease? a) 25% b) 33% c) 11% d) 17% e) 6%arrow_forwardDr. Disney has been raising exotic fruit flies for decades. Recently, he discovered a strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have baby blue eyes that he designates as bb. He also has another strain of fruit flies that in the recessive condition have pink wings that are designated as pw. He is able to establish flies that are homozygous for both mutant traits.He mates these two strains with each other. Dr. Disney then takes phenotypically wild- type females from this cross and mates them with double recessive males. In the resulting testcross progeny, he observes 500 flies that are of the following makeup:41 with baby blue eyes and pink wings207 with baby blue eyes only210 with pink wings only42 with wild-type phenotype14. Assuming the wild-type alleles for these two genes are b+ and pw+, what is the correct testcross of the F1 flies?A) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b pw/b pwB) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b pw+/b+ pwC) b+ pw/b pw+ ⋅ b pw/b pwD) b+ pw/b pw+ ⋅ b+ pw+/b pwE) b+ pw+/b pw ⋅ b+ pw/b…arrow_forwardIn human blood chemistry, the I gene directly determines ABO blood antigens and the H gene takes the H-substance precursor and makes the H-substance.

- Assume that right-handedness (R) is genetically dominant over left-handedness (r) in humans, and that brown eyes (B) are genetically dominant over blue (b). A right-handed, blue-eyed man marries a right-handed, brown-eyed woman. Their two children are (1) right handed, blue eyed and (2) left handed, brown eyed. The man marries again, and this time the woman is right handed and brown eyed. They have 10 children, all right handed and brown eyed. What are the probable genotypes of the man and his two wives?arrow_forwardA homozygous red pigmented female beetle (bb) is bred with a black pigmented male of unknown genotype. It’s unknown if the male homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the pigment trait. The color of their offspring will help identify the genotype of the male. What do you call this method used to determine the genotype of the male beetle? Explain your answer by using Punnett square to show possible offspring genotypes.arrow_forwardConsider the following statement: ‘female, w+w flies have red eyes’. In this example: Group of answer choices 1) w+w is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype 2) female is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype 3) not enough information provided to determine genotype or phenotype 4) red eyes is the genotype, and w+w is the phenotypearrow_forward

- Sex-specific imprinting distinguishes male and female genomes and is inherited in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. Such imprints are established in the germline during gametogenesis and remain intact throughout embryonic and postnatal development. Access the Imprinted Gene Catalogue website https://www.geneimprint.com/Links to an external site.. Click on “Search by Species Name” and then click on “Human.” Find 4 disorders that involve imprinting: 2 transmitted from the mother and 2 from the father, and use OMIM to describe the phenotypes (you may include images of phenotypes) and explain their underlying cause(s).

A woman, a man, and their biological child are all standing in a room. The child can smell the HCN but the parents cannot. 1.) What is the genotype of the child? 2.) What are the possible phenotypes of the parents?arrow_forwardThe data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable. Make sure to double check the solution provided.arrow_forward
