Which of these statements will corroborate (confirm) known information pertaining to alleles? OA In dominant epistasis, two dominant alleles are required to inhibit the expression of alleles at different loci. OB. There are three different types of epistasis and they are recessive epistasis, dominant epistasis, and duplicate recessive epistasis. OC In duplicate recessive epistasis one recessive allele at two different loci is capable of suppressing a phenotype. OD. Answers A, B, and C are the right answer choices for this question. OE. Answers A and C are the right answer choices for this question.

Explain why most loss-of-function alleles (hypomorphic or amorphic) are recessive to wild-type alleles, but some are incompletely dominant or dominant.
In Labrador retriever dogs, two alleles (B and b) determine whether coat colour will be black (B)or brown (b). Black coat colour is dominant. A second pair of alleles, E and e, are on a separatechromosome from B and b. The homozygous recessive condition, ee, prevents the expressionof either allele B or b, and produces a dog with a yellow-coloured coat. Some examples ofgenotypes and phenotypes for Labrador retrievers are shown below.Genotype PhenotypeBBEe blackbbEe brownBbee yellow Two dogs, each with the genotype, BbEe, were crossed. What is the percentageprobability that their offspring will have yellow coat colour? (Record your answer as awhole number percentage)
A sex-linked recessive allele rg causes a red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man. A. What genotypes are possible for the mother of the colorblind man? B. What are the chances that the first child from this marriage will be a colorblind boy? C. Of the girls born from this union, what proportion can be expected to be colorblind? D. Of all the children of these parents
The following pedigree shows the inheritance of deafmutism.a. Provide an explanation for the inheritance of thisrare condition in the two families in generations I andII, showing the genotypes of as many persons aspossible; use symbols of your own choosing.b. Provide an explanation for the production of onlynormal persons in generation III, making sure that yourexplanation is compatible with the answer to part a
astigmatism and non-red hair are produced by a different pair of completely dominant genes. Hence, astigmatic persons whose hair is not red are A-B- How often in families of four children where the parents are both heterozygous for astigmatism and heterozygous Tor non for non red hair would you expet 2 astigmatic red haired girls and 2 pon astigmatic brown haired boys? ANSWER
In cats, a sex-linked recessive allele, d, results in dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Its dominant counterpart, D, results in normal levels of dystrophin in muscle. Also, the dominant allele F at an autosomal locus is responsible for polydactyly (the presence of extra digits on each foot) and the expression of its recessive counterpart f results in the absence of polydactyly (having the 5 digits per front paw, and 4 digits per hind paw). A healthy female cat that has polydactyly gives birth to a male kitten with the normal number or toes. In addition, this male kitten has muscular dystrophy. What can you conclude about the genotype of: Unknown alleles should be indicated with a “?" The son? The father? The mother?
Color blindness in humans is controlled by an X-linked completely recessive allele (Xc), while breast cancer is controlled by an autosomal completely dominant allele, B. A color blind male, who is a heterozygote carrier for breast cancer has three children/n with a normal eyed female (whose mother was color blind), who is homozygote recessive for the breast cancer allele. What is the probability that out of three children, 2 will be color blind males, and not show breast cancer, and one will be a color blind female, who shows breast cancer?
The dominant allele H reduces the number of bodybristles in fruit flies, giving rise to a hairless phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. Thedominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single S allele suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoringthe bristles. However, S is also lethal in homozygotes.a. What ratio of flies with normal bristles to hairlessindividuals would we find in the live progeny of across between two normal flies both carrying theH allele in the suppressed condition?b. When the hairless progeny of the previous cross arecrossed with one of the parental normal flies frompart (a) (meaning a fly that carries H in the suppressed condition), what phenotypic ratio wouldyou expect to find among their live progeny?
In the snail Cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell, u, is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell, U. Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell. The allele for a yellow shell, b, is recessive to the allele for a brown shell, B. A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 progeny are then crossed with banded, yellow snails in a testcross. Predict the percentage of progeny in each phenotype if the two genes are linked with no recombination, if the two genes assort independently, and if the genes are 20 m.u. apart. Place the percentage for each phenotype for each of the scenarios in the table. Percentages can be used more than once. Phenotype Brown, unbanded Brown, banded Yellow, unbanded Yellow, banded 80% 50% 100% Linked, Independent no recombination assortment 25% 10% Answer Bank 75% 90% 60% 70% 20% Genes 20 m.u. apart 40% 30% 0%
Due to dosage compensation by X inactivation, females can exhibit a mosaic pattern of sweat glands on only some portions of their body if they carry a particular loss of function allele. Could any of the following genotypes result in males with such a mosaic pattern of sweat glands? Explain. A. X^AY B. X^AX^AY C. X^AX^aY D. Not possible
Bronze coloured turkey is controlled by a dominant allele, B. Red coloured turkey is homozygous for a recessive allele bb. Dominant gene N produce normal feather and recessive genotype produce ‘hairy’ feather nn. In a cross between homozygous bronzed coloured turkey with ‘hairy’ feather and homozygous red coloured turkey with normal feather. What are the ratios of F2 progeny with Bbnn genotypes? (I want to check if what i'm doing is correct)
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?
