Document Summary

There are two genes that determine blood type expression. Having at least one dominant allele c prevents (masks) the efect of second dominant gene g. Coat colour in squirrels is controlled by a single gene with 2 alleles. Cannot be the case of one gene, complete dominance (mice would be white and grey) Possibly one gene, codominance (but we don"t have info about the hairs of mice, so we exclude this one) Summary: if you do not know the inheritance patern of a trait, do a breeding experiment using known. Heterozygotes: if you know the inheritance patern, but do not know the genotype, do a testcross using a homozygous recessive individual for the gene you are trying to uncover (for some plants, you can self-ferilize) Human families (and most large mammals) consist of small numbers of ofspring, relaive to other species (peas and mice). Pedigree analysis = required to track the inheritance mode of human traits.

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

1. Three common alleles of the B (black) gene control coat color in most mammals: BB = black coat bb = dark brown coat bl bl = light brown coat They have the following dominance relationship: B > b > bl This notation means that B is dominant to both other alleles, and b is dominant to bl. How many genotypes are possible for black cats?

2. This is Part A of a two-part question. In Part A you'll choose the word to remove from this sentence, in Part B you'll choose the word to replace it with. Consider the following incorrect statement: In a heterozygote for a dominant/recessive allele pair we see the phenotype associated with both of the alleles. Part A Which underlined word makes the sentence incorrect? Part B Which word should replace the word you removed in Part A, to make the statement correct? In a heterozygote for a dominant/recessive allele pair we see the phenotype associated with both of the alleles.

3. Why do red blood cells heterozygous for the ABOA and ABOB alleles react to both Type A and Type B antisera?

4. Consider a mutation in a membrane-transport protein like CFTR. Which kind(s) of amino acid change in a trans-membrane segment would you expect to decrease the ability of the segment to stay in the membran A) Replacing a hydrophobic amino acid with a hydrophilic one B) Deleting a string of 3 hydrophobic amino acids C) Inserting a single hydrophilic amino acid D) Replacing a hydrophilic amino acid with a hydrophobic one E) None of the above choices are correct.
