Rupert and Leona's bunnies liked to play with their food. One night while playing with their corn, Leona decided to make their nasty habit into a fun genetics lesson. The bunnies counted the color of each kernel they ate. When they finished they had counted 502 purple and 1518 white kernels. What ratio should the bunnies accept (based on chi square) as they try to determine the parental genotypes of their supper? a. 15:1 b. 3:1 c. 9:7 d. 1:1 e. 13:3

What are the genotypes of the male and female parnets? What is the allele makeup of the male that is red-green colorblind? Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked recesssive disorder. The male in the cross is normal and the female has red-green colorblindness. It saids that I have to use the letter "R" tot represent the alleles in the genotypes to complete that problem.
How many molecules of DNA are in Mendels Sweet pea plants?
I don't really understand how to solve this question. For part a, I think my approach would be to find the genotypes of the parents first, and find the genotype of the F1. For part B, I would like to get some clarifications on the difference between linked genes with no crossing over vs. unlinked genes when approaching Punnett square type questions. Thank you also answer part a and b
The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
Pedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?
Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
How do you figure out the geno and phenotype from the info given? 2 pages out the lab but I figured once explained I’ll be able to do understand and do the rest!
In letter B: If the map distance equals the number of recombinant/total of offspring, wouldn't it be 24/806 x 100? Wouldn't we add both recombinants? Can you explain letter C? I don't grasp that concept well. And since I'm using my question already, would you be able to answer D. Thank you!
11:34 Make the following Punnett square. RrYYTT x rrYytt 8*8 or 64 squares. Use a blank sheet as needed. What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? Your gametes: 1-3-5; 1-3-6; 1-4-5; 1-4-6; 2-3-5; 2-3-6; 2-4-5; 2-4-6;
Draw a Punnett square for the dihybrid cross described below (it is the same story as given for question 8, above) and use it to fill in the blanks correctly in the text that follows. NOTE: Please type in whole numbers, no symbols. There are two known alleles of gene occupying a specific locus in the X chromosome. The gene in question codes for a transcription factor involved in digit development. The mutant allele is dominant and gives rise to an additional but non-functioning little finger (polydactyly) on both hands. A couple have had their DNA sequenced at the region of interest, the male exhibits polydactyly because of the mutation, the female is homozygous wild type at the same locus and therefore has the wild type phenotype. Both have green eyes. In this story; eye colour shows a monogenic autosomal inheritance pattern and the allele for brown eyes shows incomplete dominance with that for blue eyes, the heterozygote phenotype is green eyes. The genes for eye colour and…
In this pedigree chart, what is the genotype of individual III-1? (It's circled in blue.)
Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Identify the phenotypefor the following genotype Ff, FF, ff and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * For each row, you should select two columns. Purple flowers White flowers Heterozygous Homozygous Ff FF ff Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes. Identify the phenotype for the following genotype BB, Bb, bb and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * 口ロ口
