Summary Introduction

To review:

The mating of female A and B with male(s) along withan explanation on the basis of the following data:

Three dwarf and four normal babies are produced by female A.

Four normal and two dwarf babies are produced by female B.

Introduction:

Phenotypes are a set of observable charactersor traits in an individual obtained from the combination of a genotype along with the environment. Phenotypes can be seen by the expression of genes related to color, size, shape, biochemical properties, and behavior of an individual.

Figure 1-15 shows the family tree, or pedigree, for LouiseBenge (Individual VI-1) who suffers from the diseaseACDC because she has two mutant copies of the CD73gene. She has four siblings (VI-2, VI-3, VI-4, and VI-5)who have this disease for the same reason. Do all of the10 children of Louise and her siblings have the samenumber of mutant copies of the CD73 gene, or mightthis number be different for some of the 10 children?
Your internship with Dr. Nefario at Gru Industries is going well so far, but a recent mission to obtain a shrink ray requires a special kind of Minion. You identify that the ideal Minion phenotypes for this mission are two eyes, pale yellow, and short. From your previous work, you’ve found that:Two-eyed (D) is completely dominant over one-eyed (d)Yellow (Y) is incompletely dominant with white (y)Tall (T) is completely dominant over short (t) a. The only reproductive individuals you have at the moment (it was surprise mission!) are a true breeding two-eyed, yellow, short Minion and a one heterozygous for each trait. What genotypic ratios would you expect for this crossassuming that each locus is on a different chromosome? What total proportion would you expect to be the desired phenotype for the mission? b. The mission has since been delayed due to lack of financial support, so you’ve got some time. All the individuals from the F1 cross above are now reproductive. Which genotypes would…
The genotype of a dwarf mouse is Igf2 Igf2–. What is the genotype of its father who has normal body size? Indicate which allele is on the maternal chromosome and which allele is on the paternal chromosome for both dwarf mouse and its father.
