Which of the following statements is/are false regarding alleles? (Select all correct answers.) For a given species, every gene has only two alleles All disease causing alleles are recessive to the wild-type allele A single allele can be recessive to the wild-type allele for one phenotype, but dominant to the wild-type allele for a different phenotype. For any pair of alleles of a given gene, the same dominant/recessive relationship will be found for all phenotypes affected by that gene

In domestic cats, the allele (L) is a dominant allele for short-hair trait. The recessive allele for long hair is (I). A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens with a male cat with a II genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short hair? Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.
Which of the following statements is true? The Creeper gene in chicken follows Mendelian Laws of heredity. The prevalence of roan color in cattle is incomplete dominance. The different colors of the skin signify multiple alleles. Expression of intermediate color follows non-Mendelian laws.
The dominance pattern of a gene can be determined from the phenotypes of the parents and offspring. In the examples below, assume that each parent is homozygous for the specific allele and that the progeny are heterozygous. Classify each example as either complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or codominance. Complete dominance Incomplete dominance Codominance Answer Bank A black sheep and a white sheep produce a gray lamb. A white cow and a red bull have a calf that is white with red spots (roan colored). A mother with type A blood and a father with type B blood have a daughter with type AB blood. A pea plant with all purple flowers and a pea plant with all white flowers produce a pea plant with all purple flowers. A moth with red wings and a moth with yellow wings produce a moth with orange wings.
The gene dimples is responsible presence or absence of dimples. People with a copy of the dominant allele (D) will have dimples will the homozygous recessive (aa) will not have dimples. If a heterozygous individual had offspring with a homozygous recessive individual: Blank 1) What % of the offspring would you expect to have no dimples? (0.5 marks) Blank 2) What % of the offspring would you expect to have dimples? (0.5 marks) Blank 3) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype DD? (0.5 marks) Blank 4) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype Dd? (0.5 marks) Blank 5) What % of the offspring would you expect to have the genotype dd? (0.5 marks) Please write your answers as a percentage ie) 100%
An individual with type A blood and an individual with type B blood mate and have offspring. Without knowing their exact genotypes, what are all the possible blood types of their offspring? O Type B Туре О O Type A O Type AB
If a B is a dominant allele that codes for a trait where the bearer of this allele has a black coat, and b is a recessive allele where the bearer has a brown coat, the recessive genotype will exhibit the phenotype of brown coat, the genotype will have the black coat phenotype, and the dominant genotype will have the black coat phenotype. (Use either heterozygous or homozygous in the blanks.)
Which of the statements can be conluded from Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants? (There can be more than one answer) -Parents with dominant phenotypes always have offspring with dominant phenotypes. -The inheritence of alleles of one gene does not affect the inheritance of alleles of another gene. -Two recessive alleles are necessary for a recessive phenotype. -The pair of alleles for each gene stay together during gamete formation.
As seen in the photo, Labradors come in three colors-- black, brown and yellow. What is the genetic basis for these different coat colors? One gene produces melanin, a pigment which is deposited in the dog's fur and makes the color dark. With this gene, allele B (black) is dominant to allele b. Only in the case of a recessive homozygote (bb) will the dog's phenotype be brown. The regulatory gene is separate from the melanin gene but it acts as a switch, either turning the melanin gene on or turning it off. Allele E is dominant and allows for the melanin to be deposited in the dog's fur ("on" switch), but if the switch gene is a recessive homozygote, the melanin is blocked ("off" switch) and a yellow dog is the result! 1. Two other Labradors mate and produce puppies. Their genotypes are Bbee and BbEe. What color are each parent and what are the phenotypic rations of their offspring in the F1 Generation? Show your work with a Punnett square.

Review the information on Labrador retrievers above. What are the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation offspring of two dihybrids? Make sure to match the numbers with coat colors (e.g, which number in the ration goes with which color). Use a Punnett square to…
The ability to roll your tongue is controlled by a dominant allele (T); people who have two copies of the recessive allele (t) cannot role their tongues. A cross between parents whose genotypes are TT and tt will produce a family with which of the following phenotypes? all will be tongue-rollers none will be tongue-rollers half will be tongue-rollers, half will not be tongue-rollers 75% will be tongue-rollers, 25% will not be tongue-rollers
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
Heterozygous individuals perpetuate some alleles that have lethal effects in homozygous individuals. A mutated allele (ML) associated with taillessness in Manx cats (left) is an example. Cats homozygous for this allele (MLML) typically die before birth due to severe spinal cord defects. In a case of incomplete dominance, cats heterozygous for the ML allele and the normal, unmutated allele (M) have a short, stumpy tail or none at all. Two MLM cats mate. What is the probability that any one of their surviving kittens will be heterozygous?
