Consider the following statement: ‘female, w+w flies have red eyes’. In this example:
Group of answer choices
1) w+w is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype
2) female is the genotype, and red eyes is the phenotype
3) not enough information provided to determine genotype or phenotype
4) red eyes is the genotype, and w+w is the phenotype
What is biological determinism? (Hint: are you destined to have the phenotype typically associated with your genotype? Do your genes determine your destiny?) Explain the misconception of biological determinism.

O a) Temperature-senitive mutations O b) Nutritional factors resulting in epigenetic modification of genes c) Sex-influenced inheritance O d) Both A and B O e) Both A and Carrow_forwardAt which level is incomplete dominance more likely to beobserved—at the molecular/cellular level or at the organism level?arrow_forwardWhy are the concepts of variable expressivity, incomplete penetrance, and delayed age of onset so important in relation to genetic diseases?arrow_forward
- Red-green colorblindness is determined in humans by a single X-linked locus. Colorblind males are XbY, and males with normal vision are XBY. XB is dominant, so XBXB and XBXb females have normal vision, while XbXb females are colorblind. Typically, 8% of males are red-green colorblind. Assuming H-W equilibrium, what percentage of females is typically colorblind?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the genetic conflict hypothesis?arrow_forwardA mutation in a primary determinant does not cause a phenotype in every individual who gets the mutant allele. However, the individuals who display the mutant phenotype always display the same phenotype. This is an example of which genetic phenomenon? A) incomplete dominance B) haploinsufficiency C) variable expressivity D) incomplete penetrancearrow_forward

- In fruit flies, eye color is an X-linked trait. Red eyes (XB) are dominant to maroon eyes (Xb). A male with red eyes mates with a female with maroon eyes.
