The ability to roll one’s tongue(R) is dominant over non-rolling (r). The ability to taste PTC (T) is dominant over non-taster (t). Suppose a woman who is both homozygous tongue-roller and a non-taster marries a man who is heterozygous tongue-roller and is a PTC- taster, and have three children: a homozygous tongue-roller who is also a PTC- taster, a heterozygous tongue-roller who is also a taster, and a heterozygous tongue-roller who is a non-taster.

a.If these parents would have a bunch of more children so that they had 12 in all, how many of these 12 would you expect to be non-tasters who are homozygous for tongue-rolling?

b.If the first child (the homozygous tongue-roller who is a PTC-taster) marries someone who is heterozygous for both traits, draw the Punnett square that predicts what their children would be.

    Lets let R represents tongue-rolling, r represent a non -roller, T represent ability to taste PTC, and t represent non tasting. Suppose a women who is both a heterozygous tongue roller and a non PTC taster marries a man who is a heterozygous tongue roller and is a homozygous PTC taster. What will their children's phenotypes ratio be?

  • The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) results from a dominant allele (T) and not...

    The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) results from a dominant allele (T) and not being able to taste PTC is the result of having two recessive alleles (t). The ability to roll one's tongue is the result of a dominant allele on a second gene (R). Consider that two parents who are both taster, rollers have a child that is a non-taster, non-roller. What is the probability that their next child will have the same phenotype as the...

    Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an organosulfur thiourea that has an excessively bitter taste to some individuals and is virtually tasteless to others.   This taste response is due to a single gene, where the tasting allele (T) is dominant to the non-tasting allele (t). a. If two tasters that are both heterozygous at the tasting locus have 6 children, what is the probability that they are: non-taster, non-taster, taster, taster, taster and taster in that exact order? b. What is the probability...

    6. About 70% of Americans get a bitter taste from the substance called phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). It is tasteless to the rest. The "taster" allele is dominant to non-taster. Also, normal skin pigmentation is dominant to albino. A normally pigmented woman who is taste-blind for PTC has an albino-taster father. She marries an albino man who is a taster, though the man's mother is a non-taster. 1 pt             A. What are the genotypes of the woman and man?             B. What phenotypes...

    5. Certain people are able to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) when it is present in wet filter paper. These people are called 'tasters'. Others are unable to detect PTC and have the 'nontaster' phenotype. PTC tasting is an example of variation in sensory perception, and the genetic basis is thought to be rather simple. The ability to taste PTC is attributed to a dominant allele, denoted T, located on chromosome 7. The recessive allele is designated t. From analysis...

    17. Suppose that, in humans, ability to roll the tongue (R) is dominant to being unable to roll (r), and having freckles (F) is dominant to having no freckles (). If a woman heterozygous for both traits married a man with no freckles who couldn't roll his tongue, what is the probability that they would have a freckled, tongue-rolling child?

    2) The ability to curl your tongue up on the sides (T, tongue rolling) is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue. A woman who can roll her tongue marries a man who cannot. Their first child has his father's phenotype. What are the genotypes of the mother, father, and child? What is the probability that a second child won't be a tongue roller?
