Red hair in humans is inherited as a recessive trait. Bill and Sarah both have black hair. They marry and have four children, three of whom have red hair. Bill says it isn’t genetically possible for two black haired people to have 34 red-haired children, and he accuses Sarah of infidelity. Sarah says Bill is a homozygous dominant idiot and knows nothing about genetics. Who is correct and why?
In humans, brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes, and the ability to roll your tongue is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. If a mother who was heterozygous for eye colour and homozygous recessive for tongue rolling had a baby with a father that was heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that their child would have blue eyes and could roll their tongue?
"In cattle, the allele that causes horns to grow is recessive. Another recessive allele causes the cows to grow abnormally large and muscular. These muscular cows are often called Belgian blue cows. If a cow that is heterozygous for both the horn and Belgian blue trait genes passes on the allele for growing horns to an offspring, what are the odds that the parent cow also passes on the allele for becoming very muscular to that offspring?" I know the answer is 50% but how do I get to this answer?
Joe has a white cat named Sam. When Joe crosses Sam with a black cat, he obtains ½ white kittens and ½ black kittens. When the black kittens are interbred, all the kittens that they produce are black. > Is Sam's genotype homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous? Based on these results, which coat color in cats would you conclude is a recessive trait? 1. white 2. black 3. homozygous dominant 4. homozygous recessive 5. heterozygous
Tay Sachs disease is a recessive lethal. Abnormally shortened fingers are the heterozygous form of a dominant lethal. What phenotypes would you expect among teen-age children from parents who are heterozygous for both traits?..
In Dogs, short tail (t) is recessive to long tail (T). A true-breeding (homozygous) short-tailed male is mated to a long-tailed female. What will the phenotype of their juvenile dog look like? * TT Tt tt All will have Long tail (Homozygous) All will have Long tail (Heterozygous) All will have short tail (Homozygous)
In a certain breed of dogs, a gene (L) codes for hair length. The dominant trait is short hair and the recessive is long hair. Suppose a heterozygous female dog and a homozygous recessive male dog mate. What is the male dog’s genotype and the female dog’s genotype? What is the male dog’s phenotype and the female dog’s phenotype? What will be the genotypic ratio for the offspring from these dogs? What will be the phenotypic ratio for the offspring from these dogs?
In skunks, black and white stripes (S) are dominant and black and white spots (s) are recessive, and red eyes (R) are dominant to brown eyes (r). Both traits are independent. You cross a male skunk with black and white spots and brown eyes to a female with black and white stripe and red eyes. They have three babies: (1) A male with stripes and brown eyes; (2) A female with stripes and red eyes; (3) A female with spots and red eyes. What is the genotype of the female skunk? Group of answer choices SSRr SSRR ssRR SsRr SsRR
Two pigs of unknown genotype produce a litter of piglets, six black and six white. If you know that white is recessive, what are the genotypes of the parents? * O Bb and BB bb and BB Bb and bb O BB and bb O bb and bb
In humans, polydactyly is a dominant trait. Those with recessive condition have normal number of fingers. Bob is polydactylous, but his mother is not. He is married to Sally who has normal fingers. What is the probability that their first-born child will be polydactylous?
What explains how the parents in a family both have the same eye color, but some of their children have a different eye color? Assume for this example that eye color is determined by a single gene. ● One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other homozygous recessive for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait. O The parents are both heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O The parents are both homozygous dominant for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to get two recessive alleles. O One parent is homozygous dominant, and the other heterozygous for a gene that controls eye color allowing some of the children to express a different trait.
In an example of recessive epistasis the deposition of pigment into hair follicles of the Labrador Retriever is governed by a dominant gene (C) and lack of deposition by its recessive allele (c). Lack of pigment deposition produces a yellow coat color. The color of pigment is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene, the dominant allele (B) produces black pigment and its recessive allele (b) produces brown. What coat color ratio is expected from the cross of a brown dog (bbCc) to a black dog (BbCc)? 3/8 black, 1/8 brown, 1/2 yellow 3/8 black, 3/8 brown, 1/4 yellow 1/2 brown, 1/2 black 1/2 black, 1/4 brown, 1/4 yellow 1/4 black, 1/4 brown, 1/2 yellow
