A normal woman whose father was a hemophiliac marries a normal man. What are the chances of hemophilia occurring in their children?
1 4666In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
2160In pea plants, tall plants are dominant to short plants. If two heterozygous tall plants are crossed, what percent of the offspring will probably be short?
2 4388Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the phenotype associated with a particular allele?
1 3785A normally pigmented man (dominant) marries an albino woman (recessive). They have 3 children, one of whom is an albino. What is the genotype of the man?
3 28979In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.

cancer cells have their dna wound back wards, is that true?
Explain in terms of gene product function how a mutant allele can be dominant? recessive?
What is the importance of genetics?
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?
What are the benefits/risks when company traditional and genetically engineered breeding?
What is Heterozygote detection?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
Is Genetic Engineering worth the cost and effort?
How will you differentiate alleles of a gene in the double strand of DNA?
Does postraumatic stress mutate genes?
What is the function of BCSP31gene of Brucella organism?
Does a person diagnosed with turner syndrome have trouble hearing? please reply if you have this syndrome or know someone who does.
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?
Is biotechnology more dangerous to other gene transfer technologies breeding?
A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
