(7). Ernest Hemingway had a number of polydactyl cats. Someone carefully followed them for 25 generations and found that the trait never skipped a generation. However, some cats with the trait had only one paw with one extra digit, but other cats had extra digits on many paws and would show more than one extra digit per paw. Which of the following is the best conclusion from this result? A.For these cats, the trait was fully penetrant but showed variable expressivity B.For these cats, the trait was fully expressive but showed variable penetrance. C.For these cats, the trait was fully penetrant and expressive D.For these cats, the trait was neither fully expressive nor fully penetrant.

A researcher crosses mice with brown eyes and long tails, and the F1 progeny were recovered in the following numbers and phenotypic classes:F1: 6 apricot, short : 30 brown, long : 15 brown, short : 9 apricot, longYou know the genes encoding these traits are autosomal, completely dominant and assort independently. You want to use a chi-square test to analyse these results.a) Making use of the appropriate genetic convention for naming alleles, give the genotype of the male parent in this cross. b) What is your null hypothesis for the chi-square test? c) Give the expected number of individuals in the “brown, long” class. d) You obtain a value of 3.47 for the chi-square test. What conclusion can you make from the results of the chi-square test?
A rooster with a particular comb morphology calledwalnut was crossed to a hen with a type of comb morphology known as single. The F1 progeny all had walnut combs. When F1 males and females were crossedto each other, 93 walnut and 11 single combs wereseen among the F2 progeny, but there were also29 birds with a new kind of comb called rose and32 birds with another new comb type called pea.a. Explain how comb morphology is inherited.b. What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygouspea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratioswould be seen in the F2 progeny?c. A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a peahen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut,11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are thelikely genotypes of the parents?d. A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rosehen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are thepossible genotypes of the parents?
Incomplete dominance and epistasis are both terms thatdefine genetic relationships. What is the most basicdistinction between these terms?
In onions, presence of gene C causes production of an enzyme which catalyzes theproduction of bulb-color pigment. Gene K prevents this enzyme from functioning, thuspreventing enzyme production. The two genes are inherited independently. A true breedingcolored variety is crossed with a white one of genotype ccKK. (a) what are the expectedphenotypes and ratios in the F1 and F2. (b) Another pair of alleles R and r, independent ofgenes C and K controls the specific color for bulbs, R giving red and r, yellow bulbs. If thetrue-breeding colored variety are homozygous for R and the white ones homozygous for r,what would be the phenotypic ratios in the F1 and F2 of the above cross?
In chickens, some varieties have feathered shanks (legs), but othersdo not. In a cross between a Black Langhans (feathered shanks)and a Buff Rocks (unfeathered shanks), the shanks of the F1 generation are all feathered. When members of the F1 generation arecrossed to each other, the F2 generation has a phenotypic ratio of15 feathered : 1 unfeathered. Suggest an explanation for this resul
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).

A geneticist is using a three‑point testcross to map three linked Drosophila recessive mutations called a, b, and c, where a is associated with anomalous gait, b is associated with buckled wings, and c is associated with curved bristles. She first crosses homozygous anomalous, buckled flies to homozygous curved flies. Next, she testcrosses the F1 progeny to anomalous, buckled, curved flies. She obtains 1000 progeny distributed as shown. From this data, calculate the map distance between b and c. progeny curved 277 anomalous, buckled 283 wild type 5 anamalous, buckled, curved 5 buckled, curved 133 anomalous 127 anomalous, curved 86 buckled 84
