Required information
A single-factor cross is one in which the inheritance of only one character and its associated genotypes are followed.
Punnett squares are often used to predict the outcomes of simple genetic crosses. Based on Mendel's laws, the
genotypes of the parents can be used to predict the genes in their gametes and the resulting progeny. A Punnett square
enables you to predict the types of offspring the parents are expected to produce and in what proportions.

Question: On the basis of Mendel's hypothesis and observations, predict the results from the following crosses in garden peas: (a) a tall (dominant and homozygous) variety crossed with a dwarf variety: (b) the progeny of (a) selfed; (c) the progeny from (a) crossed with the original tall parent; (d) the progeny from (a) crossed with the original dwarf-parent variety.

- Question GROUP A: Genetics Problems In humans, red-green color blindness is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. A male with normal vision and his color-blind wife have a child. If the child is male what is the probability that he will be color-blind? The female in the previous problem has a daughter that is color-blind. The husband claims that this cannot be his child. Can you support or refute his argument?arrow_forwardNeed help with the following question. I would appreciate it if you could explain your work.arrow_forwardQuestion: This is a normal 3 point test cross, except that instead of regular phenotypes, you are looking at DNA markers on a gel. One parent, according to the gel, is heterozygous at each marker. The other parent is homozygous for each marker. (Again, this means it is a test cross: AaEeHh x AAEEHH --but don't be confused by that, because these are not "dominant" and "recessive" per se; the phenotype is just a band on a gel). For each offspring, figure out its genotype (homozygous or heterozygous for each gene. Then, figure that one parent made only AEH gametes, so you can cross that out if it helps.) Then treat it pretty much the same as a 3 point test cross.arrow_forward

The alleles for seed shape and seed color sort independently. In the parental generation, Mendel crossed a true-breeding round, yellow-seeded plant with a true-breeding wrinkled, green-seeded plant to create an F1 generation. He then crossed the F1 offspring to eachother to create the F2 generation. What is the probability Mendel would observe F2 plants with round and green seeds?

- QUESTION 5. The pedigree below follows the appearance of a rare autosomal dominant condition resulting in malformation of limbs through a family. What is the penetrance of this trait? i.e., What is the ratio between the number of individuals in the pedigree who display the trait (numerator) and the number of individuals you know from the pedigree must have the trait-determining genotype (denominator)? Enter your answer in the form of a fraction without any spaces. e.g., If your answer is “one-fourth”, enter: 1/4arrow_forwardMonohybrid Problems llustrating Codominamce 5. Another type of monohybrid inheritance involves the expression of both phenotypes in the heterozy- gous situation. This is called codominance. One well-known example of codominance occurs in the coat color of Shorthorn cattle. Those with reddish-gray roan coats are heterozygous (RR'), and result from a mating between a red (RR) Shorthorn and one that's white (R'R'). Roan cattle don't have roan-colored hairs, as would be expected with incom- plete dominance, but rather appear roan as a result of having both red and white hairs. Thus, the roan col- oration is not a consequence of pigments blending in each hair. Because the R and R' alleles are both fully expressed in the heterozygote, they are codominant. a. If a roan Shorthorn cow is mated with a white bull, what will be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the F, generation? genotypic ratio . phenotypic ratio b.
