Document Summary

Sex linkage tends to equilibrium - meaning it tends to 50/50. This is in plants and animals and the trait is being carried by the x in mammals and the z in birds. Sex linkage - x in mammals, z in birds. The y is not involved in these phenotypes. Specific crosses so males are always heterozygous to color the birds. How constant is allele frequency? e l a. 7 a_ pm = . 3 qm = . 7. What will happen when allowing the population to randomly mate as hwe tells us that the frequency of the alleles will stay the same (genotype and phenotype) Wont happen - sort of e l a m e. Progeny generation of males take on the same ratio of the female prior. Male frequency is the same as the female prior. Gametes pf = . 45 qf = . 55 pm = . 6 qm = . 4.

1. An animal (called a Box) is diploid, and has 5 types of chromosomes (4 autosomes, 1 pair sex chromosomes). Box sex chromosomes are designated W and Z. Box males are heteromorphic (WZ), and Box females are homomorphic (WW).

Boxes are covered in a thick coat of hair. There is a disease in Box, called hairlessness, that has an inheritance pattern that is W-linked and recessive. The allele used to designate this disease is h. Haired Box are wild-type (allele = h+) and hairless Box are mutant (allele = h). In general (not thinking about Box and hairless) when we say that an inheritance pattern is recessive, we automatically know some things about the genotype of affected/diseased individuals.

A) Is the trait simple, or some other type?

B) Does the presence of one diseased allele cause disease, or are two needed?

C) What other name do we use to describe a heterozygous individual?

In the case of Box and the hairless phenotype, what are all the possible genotypes for a hairless female? What are all the possible genotypes for a hairless male? (You do not need to use complete sentences here)

A heterozygous female is mated with an affected male. Indicate what gametes these two individuals can produce. (You donât need to use complete sentences here)

D) Draw a Punnett square for all the possible offspring that these two Box can create. Place the female gametes across the top of the square, and the male gametes down the left side. Insert a picture of your drawing below.

E) What is the ratio of unaffected to affected female offspring for these parents? For male offspring?

F) Choose one female offspring and one male offspring from the F1 and draw a Punnett Square for a mating between those two individuals (F2). Place the female gametes across the top and the male gametes down the left side. Take a picture of the square and insert it below.
