What is the probability of a blue-eyed (recessive) mom and a brown-eyed (dominant) dad having a brown-eyed child? Consider all possible genotypes of Dad at this gene and give the probabilities associated with each genotype.
4. In a given population, 16% of the population has blue eyes and 84% has brown eyes. Although eye color is a polygenic trait, let us assume for this problem that the brown-eyed allele is dominant to the blue-eyed allele and that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What are the gene frequencies for brown eyed and blue-eyed alleles? = '16 Pa Brown-eyed allele frequency: _ qe 0.4 Pa 0.4 Blue-eyed allele frequency: - In this same population, there are...
For the purpose of this problem assume that in humans eye color is controlled by a single gene and that the allele for brown eyes is dominant to the blue-eye allele. Two brown-eyed parents planning a pregnancy already have a blue-eyed daughter. PLEASE NOTE: gender (being male or female) is a SECOND trait (like a second Punnett square), but no need for a Punnett square because the chance that an offspring will be male or female is always 1/2. Assign...

You cross a Drosophila female with kidney-shaped and brown eyes with a male that has wildtype eye shape and color. Kidney-shaped eyes are found in females that are heterozygous for the bar eyed mutation. Bar eyed females are homozygous for the bar eyed mutant allele, whereas bar eyed males are hemizygous for the mutation. Brown eyes are an autosomal recessive mutation. Attention: Half of the resulting F1 has brown eyes! [...
16. So far we have been dealing with alleles found on autosomal chromosomes. These chromosomes contain all the genetic information that is not gender related. As a human, you have 44 autosomal chromosomes (22 pairs → 11 chromosomes from your Mom and 11 chromosomes from your Dad). You also contain a pair of sex chromosomes. These chromosomes contain all the genetic information related to your gender. If you are female, you received an X chromosome from your Mom and an...
genetics problem: 5. On a small island, 235 mating individuals are all homozygous for brown eyes. An epidemic wipes out all but 10 young women, 2 young men, and two elderly women (both >70 years old). A boatload of foreigners arrives; the foreign population consists of six heterozygous brown-eyed young women, four homozygous brown-eyed young men, and 10 blue-eyed young men. Assuming that eye color is controlled by a single locus with the brown allele being dominant (blatantly incorrect, but...
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...
