Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait in humans. That means that the gene that is responsible for it resides on the X chromosome. Hemophilia is a hereditary disorder characterized by the failure of the b
Nowdays lots of food that get on our table are genetically altered. Some people are not bothered by that fact. Some demand more facts supporting that such foods are safe to eat and will not bring an
Assuming that albinism is under the control of a single gene pair and inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, could two albino individuals ever produce any offspring with normal pigmentation.
In humans, the ability to taste PTC is inherited as a dominant gene (T; Taster). in a marriage between two heterozygous tasters (Tt).
For the ear of corn detailed above, test to see if the observed phenotype distribution fits the predictions of the genotype using the X2 test. what is your hypothesis? do the data permit you to acce
In what cases is disease only inherited from the mother and only to her sons, and in what cases is disease only inherited from the mother but to both her sons and her daughters.
In guinea pigs, dark coat color (C) is dominant over albino (c), and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). The genes for these two traits show independent assortment. By evaluating the poss
Assume a gene for warped wings (W) in Drosophila that is dominant and X-linked. give the expected genotype ratios and phenotype ratios for the progeny.
A woman of blood type A and normal color vision produced five children as follows.
In a tetrad analysis of a new ascomyete, you are observing a difference in phenotype between spores- some haploid spores are shaped like a square/cube (S) while other spores are round (r).
For these questions below, use the following list. Each selection may be used more than once and each statement may have more than one correct answer.
A cross between two inbred plants that had mean seed weights of 20 and 40 grams, respectively, produced an F1 generation with seeds weighing an average of 30 grams each.
The basic formula for mutation rate is: mutation rate= # mutation events/(gene x generation). consider a situation when a scientist measures the mutation rate in an organism over several generations
What are some of the ADVANTAGES of mapping the entire human genome? What are some of the DISADVANTAGES of mapping the entire human genome.
What are the most probably genotypes of the two parents.
The hemophilia gene is located 12 map units from the red-green colorblindness gene on the X chromosome. Red-green colorblindness is recessive to normal colorvision.
First, define Meiosis. Then, define and discuss the "cost of meiosis" (Be sure to list at least 2 references in a References section.
In Burmese cats, brown coat color is dominant to tan coat. Brown coat is a highly prized trait in Burmese. You have a brown male cat that you would like to offer as a stud; therefore, you need to kn
You're working on golden rice, a plant that promises to alleviate nutritional deficiencies in some developing countries. You cross two true breeding plants.
Females have been observed with 5 X chromosomes in each somatic cells. How many Barr bodies would such females have.
In E.coli, four streptomycin-sensitive, prototrophic Hfr strains were mated with a stretomycin-resistant F^- strain auxotrophic for a number of nutritonal requirements.
In rabbits, C= agouti coat color, c ^ch=chinchilla, c^h=Himalyan, and c=albino. The four alleles constitute multiple allelic series with complete dominance as follows.
You cross two true breeding strains of zucchini, one with green fruit and the other with yellow. The F1 plants are all green , but when these are crossed.
Gene duplication is an important evolutionary mechanism and, as result , many cases are known where species has two nearly identical genes. Suppose there are two genes.
Eye color in Drosophila depends on the synthesis of two pigments, a red pigment and a brown pigment, resulting in the wild-type (WT) dull red eye color.
