There is a gene in humans that causes dimples to form on the face. The allele that causes facial dimples (D) is completely dominant to the allele (d) that does not cause dimples. Let’s say there is a man and woman who are both heterozygous at this locus. The predicted phenotypic ratio of their F1 is: a. 1:1 b. 1:2 c. 1:2:1 d. 3:1

Answer #1

* Punnett square can used to find solutions based on the above information.Both male and female

are heterozygous and having alleles of facial dimples(D) dominant to the allele(d) that does not cause

dimples.

    Accourding to punnett square

Male(Dd) ,Female(Dd) (Each box represent 25% )

DD Dd
Dd dd

* The predicted phenotypic ratio of their F1 is 3:1.(DD,Dd,Dd):(dd).

* Probability of first child will have dimples is 75%.

* Probability of second child will have dimples is 75%.( Nature of first child and second child are

seperate events in both cases probability is same.)

Simmental and Hereford are both white-face breeds of cattle; however, the gene for white face in Simmental is on a different locus from that for Hereford. Both are dominant genes and each breed is homozygous recessive for the other breed’s white-face gene. a) Therefore, if S represents the dominant gene for white-face in Simmental and H the dominant gene for white-face in Hereford, what is the genotype of each breed? Assume the cross between these breeds and subsequent inter se...

In human beings, the gene for red‑green colorblindness (r) is sex‑linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal‑visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled.             a. What is the genotype of the woman's father?             b. What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a non-freckled,...

There is an autosomal gene responsible for the formation of a so-called widow’s peak in human hairlines. The allele that causes the peak is dominant. Twenty-five percent of people do not have a peak (peakless). A man with a peak whose mother was peakless marries a woman with a peak. Her peak “ancestry” is unknown. The alleles are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What is the probability that the couple’s first child will have a peak? A. Can’t be determined B. 0.83...

Simple Dominance with 2 genes A gene in cats causes them to be black (dominant) or brown (recessive). A second gene causes cats to be agouti (have stripes on their hairs) or non-agouti (solid colored hairs). If you did a dihybrid cross between two black haired agouti cats, what fraction of the offspring would be expected to have each phenotype? If a dihybrid black agouti cat mated with a brown cat that was heterozygous for the agouti gene, what fraction...
