Suppose chromosome Ace includes the gene for hair texture, chromosome 2 has a gene for eye color, and chromosome 3 has a gene for nose width with the traits for each shown in the table. BLACK cards carry the dominant allele and RED cards carry recessive allele.

QUESTION 1 Both of Molly’s parents have curly hair but Molly has straight hair, explain how you could use a Punnett square to illustrate how this is possible. Lali Estimate the phenotypes of potential offspring: 75% having brown fur and 25% of the offspring having white fur. Exercise 1: Understanding Alleles The chart below identifies the relationship between genotype and phenotype. You will use this chart to determine the characteristics of a puppy. Note: for simplicity all of the traits...
Uption 4. The inheritance of hair and eye color is very complicated. Scientists have found approximately 10-20 genes responsible for determining hair and eye color in humans (sheesh - I thought a dihybrid cross with 2 genes was bad...). Although many genes are involved in producing these phenotypes, it does seem that just a few genes play a major role in determining the color of our hair and eyes. The following is a simplified, but still somewhat realistic view of...
In humans, brown (B) eye color is dominant to blue (b) eye color and brown (H) hair color is dominant to red (h) hair color. [Assume single-gene traits] Question: Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye and hair color, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring if the genes are unlinked? A) 9/16 will have brown eyes and red hair B) 9/16 will have blue eyes and red hair...
What are alleles? Genes for different traits, such as hair color and eye color Alternative forms of a gene for a single trait, such as blue eyes or brown eyes The locations of genes on a chromosome Recessive forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes Dominant forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes In order to have the additional information provided by the location of the centromere in chromosomes, the process of karyotyping uses a chemical...
In humans, brown (B) eye color is dominant to blue (b) eye color and brown (H) hair color is dominant to red (h) hair color. [Assume single-gene traits] Of only the offspring that have brown eyes and brown hair (B_H_, where dash indicates that the individual could be either homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant allele), what proportion are expected to have a genotype that is heterozygous for one of the traits but homozygous for the other trait? A) 1/4...

Clicker question 5 You are studying two linked genes that influence hair type and eye color in mice. Straight hair (H) is dominant over curly (h), and brown eyes (E) are dominant over blue (e). You get the following numbers of offspring from a dihybrid testcross: Straight hair, blue eyes 101 Curly hair, brown eyes 104 Straight hair, brown eyes 15 Curly hair, blue eyes 17 Which of the following drawings shows the allele arrangement in the dihybrid?
