Textbook Question
Chapter 54, Problem 3S
Refer to figure 55.14. Because the number of offspring that a parent can produce is often a trade-off with the size of individual offspring, many circumstances lead to an intermediate number and size of offspring being favored. If the size of an offspring was completely unrelated to the quality of that offspring (its chances of surviving until it reaches reproductive age), would you expect parents to fall on the left or right side of the x-axis (clutch size)? Explain.

- In rabbits, the gene that codes for a spotted coat is dominant over the gene that codes for a solid coat, and the gene for the coat's black color is dominant over the gene for the coat's brown color.

- About 40% of Solomon Islanders carry a gene for blond hair, and yet only 5%–10% of these people actually have blond hair. Why is the number of people with blond hair only 5%–10% when so many people carry genes for blond hair? The duck-billed platypus has a unique mechanism of sex determination: females have five pairs of X chromosomes (X1X1X2X2X3X3X4X4X5X5) and males have five pairs of X and Y chromosomes (X1Y1X2Y2X3Y3X4Y4X5Y5). Do you think each of the X and Y chromosome pairs in males assort independently of other X and Y pairs during meiosis? Why or why not? How is the inheritance of X-linked traits different from the inheritance of autosomal traits? How is the inheritance of X-linked and autosomal traits similar? List as many differences and similarities as you can.arrow_forwardExplain:arrow_forwardYou want to predict the possibility of two parent monsters having offspring with purple eyes and spiky fur.

If a male with a black body mates with a female that is homozygous dominant for her gray body what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? Complete the Punnett square below. What is the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring?arrow_forwardWhich statements describe Y-linked traits? At least 50% of the male and female offspring will inherit the trait. The trait is passed down to a son by his father. All male offspring of affected fathers will express the trait. Males have a higher probability of inheriting the trait from their mothers. A carrier female has a 25% chance of having a carrier daughter.arrow_forward
