A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
This question deals with Mendelian Genetics. Read each part carefully before you answer it. In the following questions, assume green pea pods are dominant over yellow pea pods. a) If a pea plant that is Heterozygous for pod color is crossed with a pea plant with yellow pods, what do you expect to see in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use G for the green pod gene and g for the yellow pod gene.) (It is usually helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.)
Assume that one of Merida's sons, who is heterozygous for orange hair color, married a girl that was also heterozygous. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if they had children. a. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children. b. What are the chances of a child with orange hair? c. What are the chantes of a child with yellow?
A pea plant is heterozygous for both pod shape and color. I is the allele for dominant, inflated pod; i is the allele for recessive, constricted pod. G is the allele for dominant, green pod; g is the allele for recessive, yellow color characteristic. Suppose this plant is crossed with a homozygous pea with inflated, green pod, what will be the possible genotype of the offspring? Identify the: Parents’ genes?Parents’ traits?Genes (genotype)?Shape, color? (phenotype)?Genotypic ratio?Phenotypic ratio?
Suppose two parents, a father with the genotype AaBbccDd and a mother with the genotype aaBbCcDd, want to have children. Assume the loci are inherited independently of each other. Enter your answers as the most simplified fractions (e.g. 1/8 instead of 2/16). What proportion of the offspring are expected to have: The same genotype as the father? The same phenotype as the father? All dominant phenotypes? All recessive phenotypes?
In rabbits, black fur (F) is dominant to white fur (f). You decide to cross a rabbit that is homozygous dominant for fur color with a rabbit that is heterozygous for fur color. Set up a Punnett Square for this cross and then answer the following questions. What percentage of offspring will have the FF phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the ff phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the Ff phenotype?
You cross two wildtype (short-tailed) chipmunks, and collect a male offspring with a particularly long tail, which you name Dale. Tail length is controlled by the gene T, which is a maternally imprinted gene in chipmunks. Choose the best answers to complete the following statements. choose the correct answer option for each Dale’s allele for a long tail was inherited from the female/male/ unknown parent. That parent did not express the long tail phenotype because the allele was inherited from the parent’s own mother/father/unknown parent . If one of Dale’s offspring inherits the long tail allele from him, it will not /will/either will or will not express that phenotype.
A pea plant is heterozygous for both pod shape and color. I is the allele for dominant, inflated pod; i is the allele for recessive, constricted pod. G is the allele for dominant, green pod; g is the allele for recessive, yellow color characteristic. Suppose this plant is crossed with a homozygous pea with inflated, green pod, what will be the possible genotype of the offspring? Construct the punnet square, then identify the following: 1. Parents’ genes?2. Parents’ traits?3. Genes (genotype)?4. Shape, color? (phenotype)?5. Genotypic ratio?6. Phenotypic ratio?
Assume that one of the students in your class is homozygous for the “Type A” allele and the other student is homozygous for the “Type B” allele. What blood type(s) would you expect to see in their offspring? What if the second was instead “Type O”? Cross two individuals who both have Type AB blood. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in their offspring?
In the fictitious monster Lochnessius coolnameii, coat color is under the control of an autosomal gene, with white coat (W) dominant over black coat (w). The monster’s ability to produce horns is a sex-influenced trait, that is dominant in males but recessive in females. Let Horned = H, and hornless = h. Consider the cross of a homozygous white & horned male with a homozygous black & hornless female. What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in the F1? What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in the F2? In what ratios? Zappy is a horned white male. It was bred to the following four females, and the results are presented here: Mother Offspring Alcremie: hornless, black 1 horned white female Blissey: hornless, white 1 hornless black female Chansey: horned, black 1 horned, white female Delcattie: hornless, white 1 hornless, black male + 1 Horned white…
In a species of flowers, blue petals are dominant over purple petals, and a long stem is dominant over a short one. Cross a flower that is heterozygous for both traits with a flower that is homozygous recessive for petal color and homozygous dominant for stem length. Report the genotype and phenotype. *Write your answers in ratio non-reduced form (Example 16:8) Genotype Phenotype
Assume that one of the students in your class is homozygous for the “Type A” allele and the other student is homozygous for the “Type B” allele. What blood type(s) would you expect to see in their offspring? What if the second was instead “Type O”? Cross two individuals who both have Type AB blood. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in their offspring? PTC paper placed in your mouth can determine if you are a “taster” or a “non-taster”? Let's assume that you are a "taster". What possible genotypes could produce your phenotype? If you produced children with a "non-taster", what genotypic and phenotypic ratios would be expected in your offspring?
