Question
Chapter 7, Problem 13AQP
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the pattern of baldness will show independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness if the pattern of baldness is sex influenced
a.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
If pattern of baldness is considered as sex-influenced trait, then the genes responsible for baldness must be present on autosomal chromosomes. Thus, the pattern of baldness would independently assort from genetic marker on X chromosomes.
b.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the pattern of baldness will show independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness, if the pattern of baldness is X-linked recessive.
b.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
If the pattern of baldness is X-linked recessive trait, then the genes of baldness will be present on X chromosomes only. If the genes of baldness and genetic markers are present in close proximity on X chromosome, then they will not assort independently. If they lie far apart, then they will be assorted easily.
Conclusion
Independent assortment between genetic marker on the X chromosomes and pattern of blandness depends upon weather the pattern of baldness gene is sex-linked or X linked gene.

- 24) Use the following information to answer the question below. Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. TT 0.49 Tt 0.42 tt 0.09 Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Yes. C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected. B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected.
