Answer #1

An allele is the different form of a gene (which is the one member of a pair) that is located at a particular position on a specific chromosome. They are of two types, one is dominant and another one is recessive. There are three combinations are possible for them:

DD, DR, RR

DD and RR found only in homozygous individuals and DD express the phenotype of the dominant allele and RR express the phenotype of recessive allele only.

DR only in heterozygous individuals, in this case, the phenotype of the dominant allele is expressed.

Based on the above statement:

We can say that the option (e) is the correct statement.

Assuming a straightforward dominant/recessive relationship, what makes an allele “dominant” to the other one? If you were trying to determine which of two alleles for a particular gene was dominant, what kind of individual could you look at to answer this? (For example, if you had three individuals, one homozygous for Allele 1, one heterozygous, and one homozygous for Allele 2, which would be most helpful?)

3) In general, p = allele frequency of the dominant allele and q = allele frequency of the recessive allele. Using the product and/or sum rule(s), use these variables (p and q) to determine the probabilities of an individual in the next generation being: a) Homozygous dominant (A dominant allele (A) AND another dominant allele (A))? b) Homozygous recessive (A recessive allele (a) AND another recessive allele (a))? c) Heterozygote (Aa OR aA)? 4a) In a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,...

In guinea pigs, the allele for black coat color (B) is dominant over the allele for white coat color (b). In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of 31 guinea pigs, 2 are homozygous dominant, 11 are heterozygous, and 18 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the recessive allele in the population? Show all work. A. 0.88 B. 0.12 C. 0.76 D. 0.64

The expression of yellow petals in sunflowers is due to the dominant allele Y. The homozygous recessive (y) has orange petals. Plant height is controlled by another gene with two alleles, T and t, with Tall (T) being dominant to short (t). Two individuals that are heterozygous for both traits are crossed, the number of offspring of each phenotype is recorded in the table below. 1. The assumption is that these two genes assort independently. To test this, complete a...
