Answer 1

Answer #1

Ans. Such genotype would be termed as a heterozygous genotype. As the dominant gene can cover the recessive one this is a case of complete dominance.

Albinism is a genetic disorder caused by an autosomal recessive allele. The dominant allele results in the wildtype pigmentation. a) If an albino marries a homozygous person for the wildtype pigmentation allele, what would be the expected phenotype and genotype of their children? b) If an albino marries a person with wildtype pigmentation but that carries the albino allele, what would be the expected phenotypes and genotypes of their children? c) Two parents of wildtype pigmentation had an albino child....

Given an individual who is heterozygous for a recessive disease (i.e., the wildtype allele is dominant), explain how a deletion could result in the expression of the recessive phenotype. Be sure to use the formal vocabulary for full points.

10. Red green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive disease. That means that it is carried on the X chromosome, so men have just one copy of the gene while women have two. In women, both copies must be the recessive disease allele in order to show the disease phenotype, but because men only have one allele, just one recessive allele causes the disease phenotype. Matt and Kate both have normal vision, but Kate's father is colorblind. Use X for the...

1) What is the molecular basis of dominant and recessive alleles (for complete dominance; ignore incomplete dominance, epistasis, etc.)? To answer this question, consider the following: a) If alleles are copies of the same gene, why are two types of alleles? What differentiates a dominant allele from a recessive allele (at the molecular level)? 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...

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disease. Homozygous dominant (SS) and heterozygous (Ss) individuals will be non-diseased, but homozygous recessive (ss) individuals will have the disease. A study of sickle cell disease in New York found that in a one year period: 1/1146 of all infants in the state were born with sickle cell disease 1/230 non-hispanic black infants were born with sickle cell disease 1/41,647 non-hispanic white infants were born with sickle cell disease 1/2,320 hispanic infants were...
