Buys måle python trom a snake dealer who tells him that the snake carries the albino allele. Matt mates the snake with an albino female, and four normally pigmented offspring are produced. Matt rushes back to the snake dealer and demands his money back stating that the male he bought is not heterozygous for the albino allele because all of its offspring had normal pigmentation. Is Matt justified in his accusation? O Yes, because if at least one parent is homozygous recessive, at least one of their offspring must also show the recessive trait. Yes, because 50% of all offspring produced must be albino. O No, because for each offspring, there is a 50% chance that it will have normal pigmentation. O No, because a heterozygous male will only pass the dominant allele to its offspring. Yes, because according to the laws of probability, at least one of the offspring should have been albino.

man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w). Cross a marriage between a heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman. Give the genotypes and phenotype of offspring.
Sleepy the Emoji was always self-conscious of her closed eyes and she fell in love with a handsome open-eyed emoji dude, but she wasn't sure if he was homozygous or heterozygous for his open eyes. Their First child had open eyes but the second child had closed eyes. What genotype did emoji dude have? Create two Punnett squares and explain how you know his genotype using evidence from your squares
Colour-blindness is the result of an X-linked recessive allele, Xc. The allele for normal eyesight is XC. (a) A woman with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a colour-blind man. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of their children. What ratio of their children can be expected to be colour-blind? (b) A man with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a woman carrier of the colour-blind allele. What is the likelihood that their children will be colour-blind? Carriers of the trait?
Your friend is convinced his calico cat is male. He takes the cat to the vet. Sure enough the cat is male but has a calico coat and is possibly infertile. How do you explain? Group of answer choices He is wrong, it's impossible to have a male calico cat The cat has three X chromosomes but no Y chromosome The cat has Kleinfelter's syndrome (XXY) and his two X's have different color alleles The cat is XYY and the two Y chromosomes are both expressed
Imagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Assuming that the dominant allele in each gene pair exhibits complete dominance over the recessive allele, what is the probability that this couple would have a daughter who exhibits the recessive phenotype with respect to all seven of the gene pairs?
Imagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Suppose, that the A allele exhibited incomplete dominance over the a allele and the T allele exhibited incomplete dominance over the t allele. In that instance, how many different phenotypes would be possible among the offspring of this same couple?
The allele for hitchhiker’s thumb (h) is recessive to straight thumb (H). If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? 1.What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? 2. Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
Red foxes are a species that has genetic sex determination similar to humans, where females are XX and males are XY. You are studying a wild population of these foxes and you discover a new X-linked allele for tail shape that produces curly tails. This new allele curly (X“) is recessive to the normal allele (X4). If you cross a female with a curly tail with a male with a normal tail, what proportion of the male offspring will have curly tails? O a. O O b. 0.25 О с. 0.5 O d. 0.75 е. 1
Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition where little or no melanin pigment is produced. Awoman (call her W) had an affected brother (B). This woman's daughter (M) is planning to have achild. The intended father (F) in this mating had a sister (S) who has albinism. W's father is red-green color blind (an X-linked recessive disorder). F's father is also red-green color blind. All other family members have normal vision. Re-draw the pedigree of thisfamily to include this extra information. Use defined symbols to indicate genotypes. g. Determine the probability that F will pass on red-green color blindness to his future children.h. Determine the probability that M is a carrier for red-green color blindness or for albinism i.Determine the probability that M is a carrier for red-green color blindness and for albinism i.Determine the overall probability that this couple's first child will be affected by bothconditions. k. Using the same genotypes as in part j for the couple, determine…
1. If one parent is Tt, what alleles can they pass on to an offspring? (we're talking about a parent producing a gamete, right?) 2. If one parent is TT and the other parent is Tt, what are the possible offspring (These are zygotes, right?) --This is where it gets confusing so make sure to read over Larsen's explanation, and my explanation in the lecture video. The first two questions were super simple, but they were designed to orient your thinking for a dihybrid cross 3. If one parent is TtRr, what alleles can they pass on to an offspring? (what do their gametes look like in terms of letters?) 4. Same as #3, but with different letters. If one parent is TTrr, what alleles can the pass on to an offspring?
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
Black eye (B) is dominant over brown eye (b). A man that is a homozygous dominant black-eyed marries a woman that is a heterozygous black-eyed. The offspring resulted to 50% homozygous black and 50% heterozygous black. If one of their heterozygous children marries another heterozygous partner. Regardless of its gender, what are the genotypes of their children? a. 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb b. 50% BB, 25% Bb, 25% bb c. 25% BB, 25% Bb, 50% bb d. 0% BB, 75% Bb, 25% bb In Law of Codominance, a pure line dominant trait crossed with a recessive trait will result to the appearance of both dominant and recessive trait in the offspring. What is the percentage of having a red-haired offspring if the parental genotype is both a heterozygous roan haired? Red hair is a dominant trait and white hair is a recessive trait. a. 100% b. 75% c. 50% d. 25% e. 0%
