Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the
phenotype associated with a particular allele?
Answer / guest
The phenotype is a function of the genotype and
environmental and molecular events that occur during
embryonic development and thereafter.
Some phenotypic traits are due to the allelic composition
of a single gene, most are based on a large number of
different genes .

which gene determines Hair Color?
Among the population size of 500, 50 of 150 heterozygous individuals showing polydoctily. Then what is the penetrance of that population
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?

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
what happens in Postmeiotic segregation?
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?
