At least two pairs of genes control eye color. Both pairs influence the production of the pigment, melanin, but act independently. One pair of alleles is B (Brown color; dominant) and b (blue color); the other pair is A (pigment production; dominant) and a (no pigment production; albino). The gene pair aais epistatic to (masks) B and b and produces the nonpigmented eyes of the albino. What is the typeof gene interaction that exists between the two gene pairs?
Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring of the mating bbAa x Bbaa andi ndicate the parental phenotypes. (any method)
Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an organic compound that either tastes extremely bitter or is tasteless, depending on the genotype of the taster. The tasting allele (T) is dominant over the non-tasting allele (t).
Normal skin pigmentation (N) is dominant over albinism (n).
(It is important to note that this example of PTC tasting cannot be explained with simple genetics, but for the purpose of this question, assume that it can.)
A normally-pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has an albino father. The woman married an albino man who can taste PTC and whose mother cannot taste PTC.
For the married couple,
1. correctly identify their genotypes,
2. complete a Punnett square showing the expected offspring of the couple, and
3. identify the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of their offspring
In humans,
tongue rolling (R) is completely dominant to the inability to roll the tongue (r),
unattached earlobes (E) are completely dominant to attached earlobes (e),
• presence of dimples (D) is completely dominant to the absence of dimples (d),
• and a peaked hairline (H) is completely dominant to a straight hairline (h).
A woman of genotype rr Ee DD Hh and a man of genotype Rr Ee Dd hh are planning
to have a child. What is the probability that:
i. The child will show the recessive trait for all four characteristics?
11. The child will look like its mother for all four characteristics?

In fact, there’s a great deal of phenotypic variation in Muppets. Two traits that have been particularly well-studied are curly hair presences and skin color. One individual is a male, and he possesses a green skin and no hair, whereas the female individual possess a curly hair and pink skin. Let’s call the gene controlling skin coloration S and that controlling hair H. In this species, both hair and green skin are recessive traits. Both of the individuals shown are homozygous. 1.

- Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant trait that results in the presence of additional digits on the hands and feet. The incidence in Caucasians is approximately 1 in every 1300 births while in Africans and African Americans, the prevalence is 1 in every ~150 births. Fortunately, this trait does not cause any deleterious effects on one's health. Actually, there are a number of individuals who have been successful football players that were born with polydactyly. In 1902, a study found that the allele frequency of the recessive allele (p) was 30% in the local population. Last year, a follow-up study was published which assessed the genotypes of the same local population. The following data were obtained: pp = 10%; Pp = 40%; PP = 50% Use the above information to answer the questions below. Use the word bank for a subquestion when provided.
