Answer #1

In dragons the fire breathing allele is F. This allele is dominant meaning that when it is present it will always express its phenotype (fire breathing) . By convention the non-fire breathing allele is the recessive allele and will be denoted by small letter: f. This allele will only express it's phenotype when the dominant allele is not present.

So the three possible genotypes and phenotypes of the dragons will be:

1. FF (Homozygous dominant) - Fire breathing  

2. Ff (Heterozygous dominant) - Fire breathing

3. ff (Homozygous recessive) - Non-fire breathing

To answer this question, consider the following: a) If alleles are copies of the same gene, why are two types of alleles?

Be specific (base pairs, transcription/translation method, protein produced, etc.) b) Why is the phenotype determined by the dominant allele in heterozygous genotype? Be specific. c) What...

    For these questions, you are using the A, B, and O to represent the alleles in this example. The ABO blood system works in a Mendelian fashion, but has 3 possible alleles at one locus (A, B, and O alleles). Each person can have only 2 of those alleles in their genotype. A and B are both dominant (and so can be co-dominant), and O is recessive to both A and B. So, for example, if you have B blood...

    Problem Description: A gene with two alleles (e.g. A and a) is responsible for a dominant trait in Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis). AA individuals have a normal phenotype, while those with aa lack the trait. Heterozygotes have phenotypes that are identical to AA individuals. Although aa individuals have lower survivorship (15%) than those with the “normal” trait (35%), they have higher fecundity over their lifetime (100 individuals for aa; compared to 48 for AA and Aa). Assume the allele frequency of...
