Document Summary

One gene may have more than two alleles. Multiple alleles increase the number of possible phenotypes and may show a hierarchy of dominance in heterozygotes. Figure 8. 9 multiple alleles for coat color in rabbits. Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, and heterozygotes have an intermediate phenotype. Figure 8. (cid:1005)(cid:1004) i(cid:374)(cid:272)o(cid:373)plete do(cid:373)i(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)e follo(cid:449)s me(cid:374)del"s la(cid:449)s. Two alleles of a gene produce both phenotypes in the heterozygote. Abo blood group system has three alleles of the gene: ia, ib, and io. Figure 8. 11 abo blood groups are important in transfusions. Phenotypic expression of one gene is influenced by another gene. Allele b (black) is dominant to b (brown) Allele e (pigment deposition) is dominant to e (no pigment deposition hair is yellow) Gene e determines the phenotypic expression of gene b. Genotype and environment often interact to determine phenotype. These rabbits and cats have a mutant allele for the coat color gene.

These all relate to exceptions to the inheritance patterns encountered by Mendel.â

Why do multiple and lethal alleles often result in modifications of the classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios?

Select the four correct statements.

-When an essential gene is mutated, it can result in a lethal phenotype. There are no classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios.

-In the case of codominance, heterozygotes produce gene products from both alleles of a gene. Classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios are modified by codominance.

-In the case of incomplete dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygote is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of homozygous individuals. Classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios are modified by incomplete dominance.

-Genes exist in a large number of allelic versions and a diploid organism has two homologous gene loci that may be occupied by different alleles of the same gene. This can result in many different phenotypes for traits, which may not follow typical Mendelian ratios.

-When an essential gene is mutated, it can result in a lethal phenotype. This results in a modification of classic Mendelian ratios.

-The phenotype of the heterozygous genotype is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygous genotypes. The joint expression of both alleles in a heterozygote is called codominance. There are no classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios.

-Genes exist in a large number of allelic versions, but in a diploid organism, only one allele of the gene can occupy one homologous gene loci. Classic Mendelian inheritance cannot explain this phenomenon.

-Each gene produces a unique gene product. The effect of one allele in a heterozygote completely masks the effect of the other. Classic Mendelian genetics cannot explain this phenomenon.

QUESTION 1

Jim is blood type A, his brother John is type O and his sister Jane is type AB. What are the genotypes of their parents?

Which of the following is true for alleles that show incomplete dominance?

Heterozygotes have a genotype like the dominant allele.

Homozygotes have a genotype like the recessive allele.

Heterozygotes have a phenotype intermediate between the dominant and recessive alleles.

Homozygotes have the same phenotype as the heterozygotes.

QUESTION 3

Which principle of inheritance concluded that when games are formed in meiosis, the two alleles of each gene separate from one another, and each gamete receives only one allele?

independent assortment

Which term best describes a condition in which alleles at one locus can alter the expression of alleles at another locus?

polygenic inheritance

A single unit of genetic information located on a chromosome defines:

The physical expression (appearance or function) of an organism's genes defines:

genotype

a single characteristic

Palomino horses (golden color with a blond mane) are an incompletely dominant trait produced by the combination of the chestnut color allele and the cream color allele. If you wanted to produce as many palominos as possible, which mating strategy below would be the best choice?

Which term best describes the effect of a single gene on multiple aspects of the phenotype?

polygenic inheritance

QUESTION 9

Which term best describes the separate expression of both alleles for a single trait in the same cell?

polygenic inheritance

QUESTION 10

One form of a gene found on a single chromosome defines:

A chocolate lab (whose mother was a yellow lab) is mated with a black lab whose genotype is BbEe. What fraction of the offspring would be expected to be yellow labs?

What type of allele is always expressed regardless of whether the individual is homozygous or heterozygous for it?

Both the dominant and recessive alleles

Given the parents AABBGgHhrr Ã AabbGgHhRr, assume simple dominance and independent assortment. What proportion of the progeny will be expected to have the genotype AaBbggHHrr?

___________________ is defined as having two of the same type of allele for a particular trait.

The physical position of an allele on a single chromosome defines:

Which term best describes two or more genes affecting the phenotype in an additive fashion?

codominance

polygenic inheritance

In need of assistance. Please help answer the following.

1) Pure-breeding yellow guinea pigs crossedwith pure-breeding white guinea pigs produce only cream-coloredoffspring. This pattern indicates incomplete dominance. Rough hairis found to be dominant to smooth hair. Give the F1 and F2genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross of a smooth white guineapig with a homozygous rough yellow guinea pig.

2) A breeder of cattle has a herd of white cowsand a roan bull. Hair color in this breed is controlled by anincomplete dominant gene. The two homozygous forms are either redor white, and the heterozygous is roan. Answer the followingquestions please

What color calves are expected and in whatproportion?

Outline a procedure to develop an all-redherd.

3) In horses, black coat color is influenced bythe dominant allele (B), and chestnut coat color is influenced bythe recessive allele (b). Trotting gait is due to a dominant gene(T), pacing gait to the recessive allele (t). If a homozygous blacktrotter is crossed with a chestnut pacer:

What will be the appearance of the F1 and F2generations?

Which phenotype will be the most common?

Which genotype will be the most common?

Which of the potential offspring will be certain tobreed true?

4) In garden peas, one pair of alleles controlsthe height of the plant and a second pair of alleles controlsflower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele fordwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant for the allelefor white (p). A tall purple crossed with a tall purple produces Â¾tall purple and Â¼ tall white. What is the genotype of the parents?

5) Three alleles control the ABO blood types.I^A and I^B are codominant genes, so thecombination of I^AI^B produces the AB bloodtype. The third allele I^ois recessive to the other twoalleles. Indicate which of these parents could produce the givenchild and submit your response to the instructor.

A X AB produce B child.

A X O produce A child.

A X B produce O child.

A X AB produce O child.

A X AB produce B child.

B X B produce O child.

AB X AB produce A child.
