Assume that the genes for tail length and fang length in Towson Tigers are tightly linked. Further assume that long tails (L) are dominant to short tails (l) and that long fangs (F) are dominant to short fangs (f). Tigers from two true breeding strains, one with long tails and short fangs and the other with short tails and long fangs are crossed to produce an F1 generation, then those cubs are mated to produce an F2 generation

A. What is the genotype of each of the original parents?

B. What is the genotype and phenotype of the cubs in the F1 generation?

C. What gametes can each of the F1 animals produce?

D. What proportion of the F2 animals will have long tails and short fangs?

E. What proportion of the F2 animals will have long tails and long fangs?

Sex-Lined Inheritance

In humans red/green color blindness is a recessive, X-linked trait. XN is used to denote the normal vision allele and Xn to denote the recessive allele. A color blind woman has children with a man who has normal vision.

A. What are the genotypes of each of the parents?

B. Is the probability that their first child will be a color blind son?

C. Is the probability that their first child will be a color blind daughter?

D. Wat proportion of their daughters would carriers for the trait?

In pegasus genetics, horn length, feather color, and tail length genes are located on the same chromosome. Each gene has two alleles: wild type, which is dominant, or mutant, which is recessive.            H is dominant and results in long horns; h is recessive and produces short horns.             F is dominant and results in rainbow feathers; f is recessive and produces white feathers.             T is dominant and results in a long tail; t is recessive and produces a...

Normally, the flow of electrons to O2 is tightly linked to the production of ATP via the electrochemical gradient. If ATP synthase is inhibited, for example, electrons do not flow down the electron-transport chain and respiration ceases. Since the 1940s, several substances— such as 2,4-dini-trophenol (DNP)—have been known to uncouple electron flow from ATP synthesis (see figure to the right). DNP dissipates the proton gradient by carrying H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane through simple diffusion-mediated transport. DNP was once...

Drosophila has three linked autosomal genes that determine different traits. These genes are black (b), vestigial (vg), and singed(sn). Each of the three genes has two alleles: a dominant wild type allele, indicated by a "+" (plus) and a recessive mutant allele indicated by a "-" (minus). (These mutant alleles cause dark black spots, short "vestigial" wings, and bent "singed" hairs, respectively, when homozygous). A testcross is conducted between females that all have the same genotype and are triple heterozygotes...

In mice the loci for tail length, fur color and whisker shape are found on the same chromosome. Long tails (T) are dominant to short tails (t), brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) and straight whisker (S) are dominant to curled whiskers (s). Mice that were homozygous dominant for all three characters were crossed with mice homozygous recessive for all three characters and all of the offspring had long tails, brown fur and straight whiskers. These F1...
