Homework Answers

Answer #1

1.

The correct option is A - 50%

Parent cross: XNXn (normal vision woman) * XnY (colorblind man)

Gametes of female parent: XN, Xn

Gametes of male parent: Xn, Y

offspring: XNXn(normal vision female), XNY (normal vision male), XnXn (colorblind female), XnY (colorblind male)

Phenotypic ratio : 1:1:1:1

50% of the daughter will be normal

50% of the daughters will be colorblind

50% of the sons will be normal

50% of the sons will be colorblind

2.

The correct option is C - IAi

The man has A blood group, receiving one allele from the father, and one allele from the mother. The father of the man has an O blood group (ii). Since the man will inherit IO (i) allele from the father, the genotype of man is IAi

3.

The correct option is D - IBIB

Both the parents of the woman have an AB blood type. So the genotype of both the parents is IAIB. The woman has B blood type receiving one IB allele from the mother and one IB allele from the father. Hence, the genotype of the woman is IBIB

4.

The correct option is A - 32

Number of gametes produced = 2^n

n = number of heterozygous genes

SsPpIiDDEeRr has 5 heterozygous genes

Number of gametes produced = 2^5 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 32

5.

The correct option is A - Chlorophyll a

Chlorophyll a is the primary photosynthetic pigment found in all photosynthetic organisms. Chlorophyll a has blue-green color. Chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet and red light. Chlorophyll a is found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria

6.

The correct option is A - 4 sperm

Spermatogenesis is the process by which spermatogonia is transformed into sperms. Spertogenes occurs in the male reproductive organ testis. Spermatogenesis starts with puberty. Spermatogenesis has three phases. They are mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. At the end of spermatogenesis, four mature sperms (haploid) are produced from the diploid immature germ cells  (spermatogonia)

7.

The correct option is d - Man = XNY, Woman = XNXn

Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. A man inherits an X chromosome from the mother and Y chromosome from the father. In sex-linked inheritance, There is no male to male transmission. The females have two X chromosomes inheriting one X chromosome from the mother and one X chromosome from the father. The man is normal, so his genotype is XNY. The father of the woman is colorblind (XnY). So the genotype of the woman is XNXn (carrier), inheriting the allele XN from the mother and the allele Xn from the father

8.

The correct option is c - Man = XnY, Woman = XNXn

In sex-linked inheritance, there is no male to male transmission. The man is colorblind, so the genotype of man is XnY. Since the males have one X chromosome and one copy of the recessive allele is sufficient to cause the disorder in males. The woman has a colorblind father (XnY). So the woman inherits the Xn allele from the father. So the genotype of the woman who has a normal vision is XNXn inheriting the allele XN  from the mother and the allele Xn from the father

9.

The correct option is C - 25%

The given problem is an example of Codominance. In codominace, both the traits are expressed in heterozygotes

Parent cross: B'B * B'B

Gametes of parent 1 = B', B

Gametes of parent 2 = B', B

Offspring: B'B' (black), B'B (roan), B'B (roan), BB (white)

Genotypic ratio : 1 (B'B') : 2(B'B) :1(BB)

phenotypic ratio : 1 (black) :2 (roan) : 1(white)

Therefore, black = 25%, roan = 50%, white = 25%

10.

The correct option is C - 1 red, 2 pink, 1 white

The given problem is an example of incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant and nor recessive. In incomplete dominance, heterozygous individuals exhibit a third phenotype which is a mixture of two alleles. The cross between homozygous red and homozygous white phenotypes produces a third phenotype pink (heterozygous) which is the mixture of two phenotypes.

Parent cross : RR (red) * rr (white)

F1 offspring: Rr (pink)

F1 cross: Rr (pink)* Rr (pink)

Gametes F1 male = R, r

Gametes of F1 female = R, r

F2 progeny: RR (red), Rr (pink), Rr (pink), rr (white)

F2 Genotypic ratio:1RR: 2Rr: 1rr

phenotypic ratio: 1(red) : 2(pink): 1(white)

11.

The correct option is B - IBi

The woman has B blood type. The father of the woman has O blood type (ii). The woman inherits allele IO (i) from the father. So the genotype of the woman is IBi inheriting allele IB from the mother and allele IO(i) from the father
