2. Cross the F1 generation of problem 1 with the dwarf parent from a dwarf lineage.
3. Assume that the dimple is inherited as a simple dominant gene. A dimpled man whose mother has no dimple marries a woman with no dimple. What is the probability that they will have a child with no dimple?
4. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a human genetic disorder caused by a recessive allele. A couple plans to marry and wants to know the probability that they will have an affected child. With your knowledge of Mendelian inheritance, what can you tell them if: a. Both are normal, but each has one affected parent and the other parent has no family history of SCA. b. The man is affected by the disorder, but the woman has no history of SCA.
5. Assume that blood type is inherited as A and B dominant over O, but A and B are incompletely dominant over each other. Genotypes AA and AO are phenotypically Type A, genotypes BB and BO are type B, genotype AB is type AB, and genotype OO is type O blood. A man with type A blood marries a woman with type A blood. They have the first child as blood type O. What are the genotypes of the father, mother, and baby?
6.
7.
A man whose father was AB and whose mother was type B has type A blood. He marries a woman with type A blood but whose father was type A and mother was type B. What is the probability that the first child will be type A? What is the probability that the second child will be type A? What is the probability that the third child will be type A?
8.
A man with type A blood marries a woman with type B blood. Their child has blood type O blood. What are the genotypes of these individuals? What is the geno/phenol percentages of any future offspring?
9. In cattle, the alleles for coat color (Red allele or White allele) show incomplete dominance. A heterozygous cattle has a roan colored phenotype (red with white hairs throughout). a. A red coat cow is mated with a white coated steer. b. A roan coat cow is mated with a white coated steer.
10. A man with a dimple and brown eyes (whose father had blue eyes but no dimples) marries a woman with a dimple and brown eyes (whose father had blue eyes but no dimples). (Assume that having a dimple is dominant over no dimple; and brown eyes are dominant over blue).
12.In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette. a. What is the genotype for black chickens? b. What is the genotype for white chickens?
c. What is the genotype for erminette chickens? d. Cross two erminette chickens.
13.Colorblindness is inherited as a sex-linked, recessive disease. A colorblind male marries a heterozygous female. a. What percentage of their children will be colorblind? b. What percentage of their children will be carriers for colorblindness? c. What percentage of their sons will be colorblind? d. What percentage of their daughters will be colorblind?
14. A normal male marries a colorblind female. a. What percentage of their children will be colorblind? b. What percentage of their children will be carriers for colorblindness? c. What percentage of their sons will be colorblind? d. What percentage of their daughters will be colorblind?
15.Hemophilia is a rare hereditary human disease of the blood. The blood of individuals with this condition does not clot properly. Without the capacity for blood clotting, even a small cut can be lethal. In a marriage of two nonhemophiliac parents, a hemophiliac son is born. Draw a Punnett Square of the cross of the parents. Use (H) for the normal non-hemophiliac allele and (h) for the hemophiliac allele. a. What percentage of their children will be hemophiliac? b. What percentage of their children will be carriers for hemophiliac? c. What percentage of their sons will be hemophiliac? d. What percentage of their daughters will be hemophiliac?
16.Hiccupitis is a sex-linked dominant disease. An affected male marries a homozygous recessive female. a. What percentage of their children will be hemophiliac? b. What percentage of their children will be carriers for hemophiliac? c. What percentage of their sons will be hemophiliac? d. What percentage of their daughters will be hemophiliac?
