Chapter 14, Problem 17TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The passage of genes in the form of alleles from parents to offspring contributes to the perpetuation of parental traits and
Concept introduction:
The transmission of traits into next generations is known as heredity and the heritable information is in the form of DNA. The offspring resemble their parents but are somewhat different; this explains genetic variation.

Background: Each kernel on a cob of corn is a seed for a corn plant. Each kernel can be planted and a whole new corn plant can grow from this kernel. Each cob of corn has hundreds of kernels which were each created by the fertilization of hundreds of eggs from one corn plant and hundreds of pollen from another corn plant. Corn cobs allow for easy genetic analysis because looking at a corn cob is like looking at the hundreds of offspring created from two parents. Corn kernels can come in different colours and textures. It has been determined that purple (P) corn kernels are dominant to yellow (p) corn kernels. Smooth (M) kernels are dominant to shrunken (m) kernels.
Purpose: With the use of chi-square analysis, determine if one should accept or reject the hypothesis that both parents that created a cob of corn were heterozygous for colour and heterozygous for texture (PpMm X PpMm).

- To analyze: According to the given information, wild-type allele of a gene has an A-T base pair at a particular location in its sequence, and a mutant allele of the same gene has a G-C base pair at the same location. Apart from this change, the sequences of the two alleles are same. Based on above information, a question is asked as whether this information tells us anything about the dominance relationship of the allele. If yes, we need to explain why. If no, we need to explain why not.arrow_forwardGive typed full explanationarrow_forwardScenario: A plant species has flowers that can be red, pink, or white. Flower color is controlled by one gene with two alleles, A (p) and a (q). Red flowers are produced by AA homozygotes, pink flowers are produced by Aa heterozygotes and white flowers are produced by aa homozygotes. A recent survey of 100 of these plants found the following number of different flower colors: 75 plants with red flowers, 20 pink flowers, 5 white flowers.

- 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). Paternal Imprint Maternal Imprint 1 2 Include referencearrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes.

Albinism can be caused by mutations in any of several genes. A female mouse named Blanca exhibits albinism. She mated with two male mice, Ash and Whitey, and produced 3 offspring from each mating. • Ash exhibited albinism; all 3 of Blanca and Ash's offspring showed albinism. Whitey exhibited albinism; none of Blanca and Whitey's offspring showed albinism ● Determine the genotype for the offspring of Blanca and Ash. Capital letters denote wildtype alleles, and lower case letters denote mutant alleles. Mice are diploid. aaBB If Blanca and Ash had a fourth mouse in their litter, what is the probability that the fourth mouse will exhibit albinism? 1.0 Determine the most likely genotype for the offspring of Blanca and Whitey.
