Question 7 Which of the following is inconsistent (not consistent) with inheritance of a maternal effect trait? A) Progeny from the same parents have the same maternal effect phenotype as each other but not their mother. B) Progeny can show a recessive phenotype even though the progeny have dominant genotypes. C) Both parents contribute recessive alleles to an offspring yet it has a dominant phenotype for the maternal effect trait. D) Progeny from the same parents have different traits related to the maternal effect gene in question. CS Scanned with CamScanner
I will be adding two questions here because I asked two of the same questions twice by accident earlier. A man and a woman do not have hemophilioa, but the womans father did. (Hemophilia is X-linked recessive). a) What is the probability that they will have a child with hemophilia? b) Is it possible for any of their daughters to be affected? Explain. A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this? a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple alleles
QUESTION 49 refers to the following pedigree of albinism (an autosomal recessive trait): What are the genotypes of the mother and father? CHO mother - homozygous dominant; father - homozygous dominant O a. mother - heterozygous; father - homozygous recessive Ob. mother - homozygous recessive; father - heterozygous OC. mother - heterozygous; father - heterozygous od. 2 points Save Answer
A recently married couple are both heterozygous for cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disorder. They would like to start a family and would like to have two children. a.) What is the probability that their second pregnancy would result in a child with cystic fibrosis? b.) What is the probability that their second pregnancy would result in a child with cystic fibrosis?
QUESTION 8 Consider the following pedigree. With no other information provided, what is the most likely mode of transmission (or mode of inheritance) of the allele for the unusual trait? sex-linked recessive autosomal recessive autosomal dominant sex-linked dominant
QUESTION 10 Consider the following pedigree. With no other information provided, what is the most likely mode of transmission (or mode of inheritance) of the allele for the unusual trait? autosomal dominant sex-linked recessive autosomal recessive O sex-linked dominant
Question 9 Consider that a certain gene is a maternal effect gene and that the allele for dark brown pigment is incompletely dominant to the allele for no pigment (white). The incomplete dominant phenotype is light tan. If a heterozygous female is crossed with heterozygous male, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the progeny? A) 1 dark brown: 2 light brown: 1 white. B) 3 dark brown: 1 white C). all dark brown D) all light tan E) cannot be determined CS Scanned with CamScanner
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a). Assume that Emily (who has CF) decides to have children with a man who does not have CF and who is not a carrier of CF. What are their genotypes, and what is the probability that they will have a child who is a carrier for CF?
A young couple went to see a genetic counselor because each had a sibling affected with cystic fibrosis. (Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease, and neither member of the couple nor any of their four parents is affected.) a. What is the probability that the female of this couple is a carrier? b. What are the chances that their child will be affected with cystic fibrosis? c. What is the probability that their child will be a carrier of the cystic fibrosis mutation?
How did you identify Guinevere's genotype? is that trait recessive or dominant? What if Mike is type B, will it be possible that Guinevere's would still be type o?
A couple has one child with bilateral retinoblastoma. The mother is free from cancer, but the father has unilateral retinoblastoma and he has a brother who has bilateral retinoblastoma. a. If the couple has another child, what is the probability that this next child will have retinoblastoma? b. If the next child has retinoblastoma, is it likely to be bilateral or unilateral? c. Explain why the father’s case of retinoblastoma is unilateral, whereas his son’s and brother’s cases are bilateral.
