A plant heterozygous for both traits possesses the genotype WwRr. Consider the Punnett Square and determine the frequency of such an event.

You should be familiar with the ratios represented in a dihybrid cross: 9:3:3:1. There will be nine inidividuals with both dominant traits (pointed leaves and white flowers), three individuals dominant for one trait (round leaves and pink flowers), three individuals dominant for the other trait (pointed leaves and white flowers), and only one individual recessive for both traits (pointed leaves and pink flowers). In this case, we are looking at a subcategory of the plants dominant for both traits. Four of these nine will be heterozygous for both traits.

Plants homozygous for both traits have the following genotypes: WWRR, WWrr, wwRR, and wwrr. Consider the Punnett Square and calculate the frequency.

Each of the described genotypes will occur only once in the Punnett square, leading to a probability of.

You should be familiar with the ratios represented in a dihybrid cross: 9:3:3:1.

The best way to solve this problem is by systematically analyzing the possible genotypes for the parent generation and by eliminating the improbable genotypes. To solve for the parents’ genotypes you need to look at the F1 and F2 generations.

As described in the passage the F1 generation only exhibits one phenotype: round and yellow. Round and yellow are dominant alleles because you get four different phenotypes when you test cross (cross them with homozygous recessive individuals) a plant from the F1 generation. The F1 generation could be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous for both traits, since they exhibit the dominant alleles.

如果F1的后代都是纯合显性you would only observe dominant traits in F2 offspring. The F1 offspring must be heterozygous for both traits in order to produce the observed ratios in the F2 generation.

F1 test cross:AaBbxaabb

F2 generation:AaBb,Aabb,aaBb, andaabb

Since all F1 offspring are heterozygous, we only have one possible combination of parents: homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.

P generation:AABBxaabb

F1 outcome: allAaBb(observed)

The best answer is that both parents are homozygotes.

The passage tells us that the disease gene is X-linked and recessive. If the young girl has the disease, then she must have a double recessive genotype, meaning that both of her parents have at least one recessive gene. Her mother must either be a carrier, or have the disease, but we cannot conclude one over the other. Her father must have the disease, since he only has one copy of the X-chromosome. He received his Y chromosome from his father, so we cannot make any judgments about the father's father. He received his X chromosome from his mother, meaning that she must have been a carrier or had the disease. As far as the unborn brother is concerned, he has a 50% chance of getting the disease if the mother is a carrier, and 100% if she has the disease.

The only thing we can say with 100% certainty is that the father has the disease.

Codominance occurs when each allele for a certain gene isn't completely dominant over the other, so both are expressed. We see both fully blue and fully red flowers on each plant, so codominance fits our situation in this question. Incomplete dominance would be the correct answer if the filial plants had flowers that were a combination of blue and red, so they would be purple. Expressivity is the term for when a trait is expressed to different degrees in a population, like some plants having flowers that are more blue than others. Penetrance is when only a certain percentage of the population expresses the trait at all.

The correct answer is 1/16. A dihybrid cross results in a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. The 1 in the ratio is indicative of the double recessive phenotype, with a homozygous recessive genotype for both traits. Thus, only 1/16 of the offspring will display both recessive phenotypes.

This problem asks you to use concepts of inheritance and Mendelian genetics. The best approach to this problem is to rule out possiblities rather than to find the actual mode of inheritance, as the latter can be a much more difficult and time-consuming process. First off, we know that Y-linked inheritance could not explain this pattern because we see that in generation 1 (G1), the male is affected. If he is affected, all of his sons (who inherit his Y chromosome) would also be affected. There is one son in G2 who is not. Similarly, dominant X-linked inheritance could not explain this pattern; recall that the daughters inherit two copies of the X chromosome, and one is always inactivated. Were the trait X-linked dominant, then the girls of generation 3 (G3) would be affected, having received a copy of the affected gene from their father. Revisiting all other options, we see that any of the remaining inheritance patterns could possibly explain what we see.

血型是共显性的特征和继承relies on alleles for blood antibodies as well as Rh (Rhesus) factor. The father's blood type is A–, so he has no Rh factor and must be either AA or AO. The mother must be AB with an Rh factor.

Father possibilities: A^-A^-or A^-O^-

Mother possibilities: A^-B⁺or A⁺B^-or A⁺B⁺

Based on these possibilities, we cannot conclude if the child will be positive or negative for Rh factor; however, since the mother has no allele for O blood type, we can conclude that the child cannot have O type blood. The child could receive AA, AO, BO, or AB.

The results of blood typing crosses can be calculated in the same way as those of traditional crosses: with Punnett squares. If we put the AB (maternal) genotype along one side of the square and the BB (paternal) genotype along the other, we see that only two genotypes are present in the offspring. 50% will be AB and 50% will be BB (a blood type of B); therefore, A is not one of the blood types present in the offspring, so this is our answer.

All of the other answer choices have a possibility of producing A type offspring.

We can depict the parental genotypes by usingto signify the dominant white-eye allele andto signify the recessive red-eye allele.

The mother would have genotypesince she has red eyes. The father would have genotypesince he has white eyes.

We can see that the possible genotype for offspring will be eitherfor a daughter orfor a son. Any daughters must inherit the X-chromosome from both parents, and must therefore inherit a white-eye allele from the father. We can conclude that all daughters will have white eyes.
