  1. Also in tulips, petal shape is inherited as a Mendelian characteristic. Curled petals are recessive to straight petals. If a true breeding tulip for pink with white stripe and curled petals is crossed with a true breeding tulip for yellow, straight petals what will be the F1 phenotype or appearance? What will the F2 generation look like? Complete two, dihybrid Punnett squares to support your answer.

Pink and curled vs yellow straight tulip

Let us consider the colour of tulip denoted by Y gene and shape of petals denoted by S gene

Pink curled phenotype is result of homozygous recessive genotype I. e yyss

Yellow straight is result of homozygous dominant genotype I. e YYSS

F1 generation will be all yellow straight flowers being YySs

If they self crossed

F2 generation will have gametes YS, Y's, yS and yS

YS Ys yS ys

1. A severe disease that is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait is more likely to skip generations in a pedigree than an autosomal recessive trait that cuases a harmless phenotypic variant because a) all autosomal recessive traits skip generations b) a person with the harmless variant is less likely to reproduce than a person with the disease c) a person with an autosomal recessive disease is less likely to be well enough to reproduce than a person with a...

Borishphobia is an autosomal recessive inherited condition in humans that causes AP Biology students to go into convulsions whenever they see the Hardy-Weinberg formula. Complete dominance is the mode of inheritance for the alleles in this condition. In a group of 300 AP Biology students, 97 had convulsions (because they had the condition) during their first Hardy-Weinberg Problem Set. (Assume that students are a representative sample of a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.) What is the frequency of the borishphobia (b)...

Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal, recessive disorder. Individuals who inherit the mutated gene from both parents will show symptoms of sickle cell, including a stiffening of the red blood cells when the individual is under conditions with low oxygen levels in the air (e.g. on top of a mountain). This can lead to low red blood cell count (anemia), shortness of breath, fatigue, jaundice, and joint pain. Most critically, the stiffened red blood cells can clog small...
