People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele
for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue
rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter
how hard they try.
Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant
tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue
roller, then what is the probability of the offspring
inheriting the tongue rolling gene?

CONSIDER THE HOMOZYOUS DOMINANT GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-
TT AND THE HOMOZYOUS RECESSIVE GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-tt
Now when the two mates the F1 generations will be Tt(all
the offspring will br hetrozyous dominant). On selfing them
the F2 generation produced will be 75% dominant(TT and Tt)
and 25% recessive(tt).
parents TT X tt
gametes T T t t
F1 generation Tt Tt Tt Tt
on selfing Tt x Tt
gametes T t T t
F2 generation TT Tt Tt tt

In cats yellow is due to gene B and black to its allele b. These genes are located on the X chromosome (sex-linked). The heterozygous results in calico (tortoise shell). What kinds of offspring (sex & color) are expected from the cross: black male & calico female? Most calico males are sterile, why?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs with a frequency of about 1/2500 Caucasian newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive. A woman had an older sister die from complications of this disease.

The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
