[a] Homologous pairs are the matched chromosomes inherited from each parent. They have the same genes (A through I in the diagram), but possibly different alleles (for example, “b” vs “B”). During meiosis 1, two things happen to homologous pairs. During prophase 1, homologous pairs synapse and exchange bits of DNA. This creates novel, recombinant DNA sequences. During metaphase 1 and anaphase 1, homologous pairs independently assort, creating haploid gametes with unique combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes.

[a] During meiosis 1, the developing gametes go from diploid to haploid. Crossing over creates new recombinant chromosomes, and independent assortment mixes chromosomes that were originally maternal or paternal in origin.

During meiosis 2, independent assortment occurs again as sister chromatids are pulled apart, resulting in 4 genetically unique haploid gametes.

[a] Mitosis clones the entire genome, creating diploid daughter cells that are identical to the mother cell. Meiosis reduces the genome from diploid to haploid and creates gametes (sperm cells or egg cells) that are genetically unique.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3e59010e822c” question_number=”4″ topic=”5.1-2.Meiosis_and_Genetic_Diversity”] Explain how diploid cells are different from haploid cells.

[a] With the exception of gametes, the cells in eukaryotic organisms are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes: one set of chromosomes from the mother, and one from the father. When germ cells create gametes during meiosis, the diploid set of chromosomes is reduced to a single set of chromosomes. A cell with a single set of chromosomes is haploid.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.1-2.Meiosis_and_Genetic_Diversity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3e3868680a2c” question_number=”5″] Explain the processes by which sexual reproduction creates genetic variation.

[a] Sexual reproduction involves meiosis, followed by fertilization. Together, these processes create offspring who are different from their parents, and from one another.

During crossing over, homologous chromosomes exchange bits of DNA, creating novel, never-before-seen DNA sequences which can code for novel phenotypes.
During independent assortment, maternal and paternal chromosomes are randomly shuffled together. This creates haploid gametes with unique combinations of the maternal and paternal chromosomes that an individual inherited from his or her own parents.
During fertilization, DNA from sperm and egg are brought together, creating individuals with a unique genome and phenotype.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3e1327a9ca2c” question_number=”6″ topic=”5.1-2.Meiosis_and_Genetic_Diversity”] Describe what happens during meiosis I. End your description with Anaphase 1.

[a] Meiosis I starts with interphase which results in duplication of the chromosomes. In prophase 1, the chromosomes condense (as they do during mitosis). During synapsis, homologous chromosomes line up and through crossing over, exchange bits of DNA, creating novel sequences of DNA. During metaphase 1, homologous pairs are moved by the spindle to the cell equator. Because each pair moves independently of every other, this sets the stage for independent assortment, which mixes chromosomes that were originally of maternal and paternal origins. During anaphase 1 the homologous pairs are pulled apart and dragged to opposing ends of the cell.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3deb92dfa62c” question_number=”7″ topic=”5.1-2.Meiosis_and_Genetic_Diversity”] Describe what happens during meiosis II.

[a] Meiosis 1 ends with two haploid daughter cells. But because meiosis begins with chromosome replication, the daughter cells have doubled chromosomes. During prophase 2, the chromosomes condense, and a spindle reforms. The chromosomes arrive in the middle of the cell during metaphase 2. During anaphase 2, sister chromatids are pulled apart (which involves another round of independent assortment). Telophase II follows, rebuilding the nucleus. Finally, cytokinesis 2 results in four haploid cells. In males, the result of meiosis is four sperm cells. In females, often three of the cells resulting from meiosis are sacrificed so that one large egg cell results.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3dc3fe15822c” question_number=”8″ topic=”5.1-2.Meiosis_and_Genetic_Diversity”] Mathematically explain the relationship between independent assortment during metaphase 1 and the creation of diversity in gametes. In your answer, you can ignore crossing over, and the independent assortment that happens during meiosis II.

[a] The number of combinations resulting from independent assortment during metaphase 1 can be quantified as two to the number of homologous pairs. A species with two homologous pairs can create 2² chromosomally distinct gametes. A species with 4 homologous pairs can create 2⁴chromosomally distinct gametes (which equals 16). Humans, with 23 homologous pairs, can create 2²³ combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes, which amounts to over 8 million chromosomally distinct gametes.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3d9a153f7a2c” question_number=”9″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] Describe Mendel’s principle of segregation. In your answer, cover the difference between the terms homozygous and heterozygous.

[a] Mendel’s first law of inheritance is the principle of segregation. Mendel discovered that each individual has two copies of each gene. Each copy is called an allele. These alleles can be identical, making the individual homozygous, or they can be different, making the individual heterozygous. When individuals create gametes (sex cells), they pass on only one of their two alleles. In the zygote (fertilized egg) that results, the alleles from each parent come together so that the resulting offspring also has two copies of each gene.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3d51e7cede2c” question_number=”10″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] Define the terms dominant and recessive.

[a] If an individual possesses a dominant allele, she or he will express the phenotype that this allele codes for. Recessive alleles will only be expressed in individuals who are homozygous (and have inherited two copies of that allele).

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3d27fef8d62c” question_number=”11″] Explain what a monohybrid cross is, and what the results of such a cross will be. In your response, create a Punnett square to demonstrate your understanding.

[a] A monohybrid cross is a cross between two heterozygotes, such as a cross between parents whose genotypes are Bb and Bb. The result of such a cross is offspring in a 3:1 ratio, with three individuals with the dominant phenotype to each one with the recessive phenotype. 1/4 of the offspring will be homozygous dominant, 2/4 will be heterozygous (and still have the dominant phenotype) and 1/4 will be homozygous recessive (and show the recessive phenotype).
Here’s a Punnet square that represents this monohybrid cross.

	B	b
B	BB	Bb
b	Bb	bb

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3d02be3a962c” question_number=”12″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] Using a Mendelian example with garden peas in which T and t control height (tall v. dwarf) and P and p control flower color (purple v. white), define Mendel’s principle of independent assortment.

[a] Independent assortment means that genes carrying different traits are segregated and passed on independently from one another. To use a Mendelian example with garden peas, independent assortment means that the genes controlling height (T) and those controlling flower color (P) are passed onto the offspring independently.

In a dihybrid cross between TtGg and TtGg, the result of this cross will be the combined result of independent crosses between Tt and Tt and that between Gg and Gg. Since each cross would produce a 3:1 ratio of dominants to recessives, and because the genes are passed on independently, the combined result is (3:1)(3:1) or 9:3:3:1 . That means 9/16 of the offspring show both dominant traits, 3/16 show one dominant and one recessive trait, 3/16 show the other dominant and the other recessive trait, and 1/16 show both recessive traits.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3cd68158aa2c” question_number=”13″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] What’s the connection between Mendel’s laws of inheritance and what happens during meiosis?

[a] Mendel’s first law is the principle of segregation. According to this principle, parents possess two alleles for each trait but pass only one on to their offspring, which inherit their two alleles from their parents. This principle corresponds to the fact that sexually reproducing organisms have a diploid phase that produces haploid gametes. The diploid phase corresponds to the two alleles in each parent. The haploid phase corresponds to the one allele that each parent passes on to their offspring. In the zygote, the diploid condition is restored.

Mendel’s second law is the law of independent assortment: what happens to one gene pair is independent of every other gene pair (at least the ones that Mendel studied). Independent assortment of genes corresponds to the independent assortment of chromosomes that happens during metaphase 1 of meiosis.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3caeec8e862c” question_number=”14″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] What is the rule of multiplication? Demonstrate your understanding by explaining how to predict the probability of genotype aabbcc resulting from a trihybrid cross between AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

[a] The rule of multiplication is the idea that the probability of independent events occurring together is the product of their individual probabilities.

The probability of genotype aabbcc resulting from a trihybrid cross (AaBbCc x AaBbCc) can be solved using the rule of multiplication as follows: The chance of Aa x Aa producing aa is 1/4. The chance of Bb x Bb producing bb is also 1/4, and that’s also the probability of an offspring having the genotype cc. Because these alleles assort independently, you can use the rule of multiplication: 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3c82afac9a2c” question_number=”15″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] What’s the probability that in a family with five offspring, all of the children will be girls?

[a] Because each birth is independent, you use the rule of multiplication. The probability of each child being a girl is 1/2. The probability of 5 children all being girls is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 (the product of all of these individual probabilities). In this case, the product is 1/32.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3c5672caae2c” question_number=”16″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] In a cross between parents whose genotypes are AaBbCCddEe and aaBbCcDdee, what’s the probability of a child being AabbCCddEe?

[a] To solve this, use the rule of multiplication. The parental genotypes are AaBbCCddEe and aaBbCcDdee. You’re determining the probability of AabbCCddEe. To do this, determine each probability individually. Because these are independent events, multiply them together to determine the overall probability.

In this example, the probability of Aa and aa producing aa is 1/2. The probability of Bb x Bb producing bb is 1/4. Continue this with each allele. So, multiply 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2. The overall probability is 1/64.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3c27e1dcde2c” question_number=”17″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] Explain the genetic and molecular basis of Tay-Sachs disease.

[a] In Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic mutation in an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A results in the build-up of a molecule called GM2 ganglioside in the brain. GM2 ganglioside buildup is toxic and ultimately fatal. Victims usually die before the age of five, and there is no treatment.

The disease is autosomal and recessive. In certain populations (Jewish people of Eastern European descent and Louisiana Cajuns) the frequency of the Tay-Sachs allele is significantly higher than in the surrounding populations. There has been speculation that there might be some heterozygote advantage at work (as with the sickle cell allele), possibly in relation to tuberculosis, but this advantage has not been substantiated.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3bfdf906d62c” question_number=”18″ topic=”5.3.Mendelian_Genetics”] Describe the symptom and genetics of Huntington’s disease.

[a] Huntington’s disease is a neurological disorder caused by an autosomal dominant allele. A homozygote will pass the condition on to 100% of his or her offspring; a heterozygote will pass it on to half of his or her offspring.

The disease strikes individuals in middle age and causes damage to tissue in the brain that controls movement, leading to symptoms such as personality changes, unsteady gait, involuntary movements, and slurred speech. Most victims die from complications relating to the disease.

Because of the late onset of symptoms, most people with Huntington’s have, throughout history, reproduced before they knew they had the disease.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3bcac0013e2c” question_number=”19″ topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] What are linked genes? Describe their inheritance pattern, and explain which of the Mendelian rules that linked genes don’t follow.

[a] Linked genes are genes that are on the same chromosome. For example, genes T and A in cell “2” are linked. Because they’re on the same chromosome, linked genes don’t independently assort (but they can recombine due to crossing over during meiosis).

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3b72463d662c” question_number=”20″] Imagine a test cross involving genes AaBb x aabb. How would the inheritance pattern of these genes work if the genes were on different chromosomes? How would the inheritance pattern be different if the genes were linked?

[a] The test cross is between AaBb x aabb. If the genes weren’t linked, you’d expect a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring (Dominant-dominant; Dominant Recessive; Recessive-Dominant; recessive-recessive). If the genes were linked, then most of the offspring would have one of the parental phenotypes (dominant-dominant, recessive-recessive), and a smaller percentage will have a recombinant phenotype (dominant-recessive or recessive-dominant).

[q json=”true” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3b485d675e2c” question_number=”21″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] What’s the relationship between the percentage of recombination and the distance between any two linked genes?

[a] The further apart any genes are on the chromosome, the higher the percentage of recombinant gametes. For example, in the simple chromosome map below, genes A and E will recombine the most (because they’re the furthest apart) and B and C will recombine the least (because they’re the closest together). This percentage of recombination can be used to calculate the map distance between two alleles (measured in centiMorgans).

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3b17786daa2c” question_number=”22″ topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] What are sex-linked genes? Explain their inheritance pattern in males.

[a] Sex-linked genes are genes that are located on the X chromosome. As a result, males can’t be heterozygous. They either have a sex-linked allele, or they don’t. Males who have a sex-linked allele will pass it on to their daughters, but never to their sons.

[q json=”true” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3afddbeade2c” question_number=”23″ unit=”5.Heredity” topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] Explain how the inheritance of a recessive sex-linked allele works in females.

[a] If a sex-linked allele is recessive, then female heterozygotes can be carriers, but won’t express the associated phenotype. For a female to express the phenotype of a recessive sex-linked trait, her mother has to be a carrier, and her father has to possess the allele (and thus the associated condition).

As mothers, female heterozygotes have a 1 in 2 chance of passing the allele on to their male offspring.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3ae1eb5c2e2c” question_number=”24″ topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] What are polygenic traits, and what is their inheritance pattern?

[a] Polygenic traits are traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Examples in humans include the genes that control most traits, including phenotypes like height, eye color skin color, etc. This is also true in other organisms: in maize, kernel color is controlled by at least three genes.

Traits that are under the control of multiple genes do not show a binary distribution, as do traits controlled by a single gene (think of cystic fibrosis: you either have it, or you don’t). Rather, traits under the control of multiple genes tend to have what’s called a normal distribution, with an array of phenotypes. Using height as an example, most individuals are of average height: some individuals are very tall, and others are very short, with heights arrayed along a bell-shaped curve.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3ac3a6c19a2c” question_number=”25″ topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] What is non-nuclear inheritance?

[a] Non-nuclear inheritance is the inheritance of genes that are not on nuclear chromosomes but in the chromosome of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast. Because these organelles are only passed on to offspring through the female gamete, their inheritance doesn’t follow Mendelian patterns. In the case of mitochondrial inheritance in animals, all of one’s mitochondria are inherited from one’s mother. In plants, only the ovule (and not the pollen) passes chloroplasts and mitochondria onto the offspring.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3a99bdeb922c” question_number=”26″ topic=”5.4.Non-Mendelian_Genetics”] Describe the genetics and underlying biology of hemophilia.

[a] Hemophilia is caused by a mutation in a clotting factor gene. These genes code for proteins that are part of the clotting cascade that happens whenever a person gets a cut or an internal injury. The most common mutations are in the genes for the proteins called “clotting factor 8” or “clotting factor 9.”

Hemophilia is a sex-linked, recessive condition. Because it’s sex-linked and recessive, a hemophiliac male can only pass the allele on to his daughters. Daughters can be homozygous normal, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive (which is the only way a female can be a hemophiliac). A heterozygous mother is known as a carrier, and she has a 50% chance of passing the allele on to her son, who, if he inherits the allele, will express it.

The disease has been a target of gene therapy clinical trials.

[!]5.6.Chromosomal Inheritance[/!]

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e3a747d2d522c” question_number=”27″ topic=”5.6.Chromosomal_Inheritance”] How is sex determined in mammals?

[a] Mammals have an XX / XY sex-determination system. Offspring that inherit an X and a Y chromosome will be male. Offspring that inherit two X chromosomes will be female.

Because males are XY, when they go through meiosis, half of their sperm will carry an X chromosome, and half will carry a Y. By contrast, a female can only pass on an X chromosome. As a result, it’s the sperm that determines the sex of the offspring, and any offspring will have a 50% chance of being male and a 50% chance of being female.

[a] In birds the sex chromosomes are known as Z and W. Male birds have two Z chromosomes (ZZ). Female birds have one Z chromosome and one W chromosome (ZW).

[a] In haplodiploid systems the males are haploid, and the females are diploid. Males develop from unfertilized eggs, while females develop from fertilized eggs.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e39f46e9f562c” question_number=”30″ topic=”5.6.Chromosomal_Inheritance”] What is nondisjunction? What are its consequences? List some examples of conditions in humans caused by nondisjunction.

[a] Nondisjunction means “failing to separate,” and it refers to a failure of chromosome separation during meiosis. A nondisjunction during meiosis I occurs when homologous pairs fail to separate. Nondisjunction during meiosis II means the sister chromatids fail to separate. The result is a gamete (sex cell) that either has an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e39c831bd6a2c” question_number=”31″ topic=”5.6.Chromosomal_Inheritance”] What are the consequences of nondisjunction? List some examples of conditions in humans caused by nondisjunction.

[a] Nondisjunction results in gametes with an extra chromosome or missing a chromosome. If these gametes fuse with other gametes during fertilization, the result can be a zygote with an abnormal number of chromosomes. This can make the zygote unviable. Alternatively, developmental problems can arise in the multicellular organism that arises from this zygote. In humans, examples of conditions associated with nondisjunction include Turner Syndrome (females lacking an X chromosome), Klinefelter syndrome (males with an extra X chromosome), or Down Syndrome/trisomy 21.

[a] Nondisjunction can occur during meiosis I or meiosis II. If homologous pairs fail to separate during anaphase 1 (“b”), or if sister chromatids fail to separate during anaphase 2 (“h”), then the resulting gametes will either have an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome (as shown in “e,” “f,” “j,” or “k”). If these processes occur together, the result can be gametes with two or three extra chromosomes. That level of chromosome duplication is usually only survivable if it involves the X chromosome.

[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”5.Heredity” dataset_id=”Unit 5 Cumulative Flashcards (v2.0)|e395f6ba6562c” question_number=”33″ topic=”5.6.Chromosomal_Inheritance”] Describe how trisomy 21/Down syndrome occurs.

[a] The cause of Down Syndrome is nondisjunction of the 21st chromosome during meiosis, generally in the egg, resulting in eggs with an extra copy of chromosome 21. After fertilization, the zygote has three copies of chromosome 21. Eggs are suspected as the source of the nondisjunction because of the correlation between maternal age and the incidence of Down syndrome. It’s thought that older eggs are more prone to nondisjunction than younger eggs and, in women, eggs are as old as the woman who carries them (unlike sperm which are continuously produced by men). At the same time, because birth by younger women is more common, most children with Down Syndrome are born to women under 35 years old.

T: vertical colored stripes (called mackerel tabby)
t: swirly colored stripes (called blotched tabby)

The patterns are illustrated as follows.

A second autosomal gene (not linked to the tabby-striped gene)is the Agouti gene. This gene has two alleles:

A: tabby fur pattern
a: no tabby pattern.

A cat that is aa for the Agouti locus fails to show any stripes, regardless of its genotype at the tabby stripes locus. These cats are solid black.

A cross was carried out between cats of the following genotypes.

Notice that in X-linked dominance, it’s impossible for the daughters of a father with the condition to not inherit the condition. That’s because daughters inherit an X chromosome from their Dad (that’s how they get to be daughters), and if he has the allele causing the condition, he’s definitely going to pass it on to them. If the allele is dominant, the daughters will express the allele.

Feel free to skip this introduction if you’ve already read it).

INTRODUCTION: Domestic chickens have been bred for many years to increase the number of eggs laid by females. Chick breeders need to be able to identify female chicks on the day after hatching, as only the females need to be kept for laying eggs.

Unlike mammals, which use a sex determination system with X and Y chromosomes, in chickens the sex chromosomes are known as Z and W. Male chickens have two Z chromosomes (ZZ). Female chickens have one Z chromosome and one W chromosome (ZW).

Some genes for feather color and pattern in chickens are carried on the Z chromosome but not on the W chromosome. One such example is the gene for striped feathers (barring).

The phenotypes associated with the two alleles of the barring gene are shown in the table below

Allele	Adult Phenotype	Day old chick phenotype
B	Barred (black feathers striped with white bars)	Black body with a white spot on the head
b	Non-barred (black feathers)	Black body and head

The type of inheritance associated with barring is

When true-breeding mackerel tabbies are bred with true-breeding blotched tabbies, all of the F₁ offspring are mackerel tabbies.

An F₁ mackerel tabby is crossed with a blotched tabby. What’s the probability that a kitten resulting from this mating will be blotched tabby?

If you let the letter M represent the allele for “mackerel” and m represent the allele for “blotched, then you’re crossing Mm x mm, and you’d set up the Punnett square as follows:

	M	m
m
m

Now you draw it out, and figure out what percentage of the offspring will have genotype mm (the only genotype you can have if you’re blotched tabby).

(Note: this question is part of a series. Feel free to skip this introduction if you’ve already read it).

INTRODUCTION: Domestic chickens have been bred for many years to increase the number of eggs laid by the females. Chick breeders need to be able to identify female chicks on the day after hatching, as only the females need to be kept for laying eggs.

Some genes for feather color and pattern in chickens are carried on the Z chromosome but not on the W chromosome. One such example is the gene for striped feathers (barring).

The phenotypes associated with the two alleles of the barring gene are shown in the table below

Allele	Adult Phenotype	Day old chick phenotype
B	Barred (black feathers striped with white bars)	Black body with a white spot on the head
b	Non-barred (black feathers)	Black body and head

An individual with genotype Z^BZ^b will, as an adult, have which phenotype?

PART 2: Each cell in the embryo is a diploid cell that possesses the entire genome for the whole organism. Because the cells are early-stage embryonic cells, epigenetic changes (such as methylation) will not yet have occurred, allowing each cell to be the source of an entirely new organism.

PART 3: Zygote formation and embryonic development require meiosis and mitosis. Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes, or sex cells. Sex cells are shown as P & Q in the diagram. Meiosis produces daughter cells that are haploid, with half the number of chromosomes and, because of the way that meiosis occurs, half of the genome. Meiosis sets the stage for the full diploid number to be restored at fertilization (at R) when two haploid gametes fuse together. During mitosis, daughter cells are produced that are genetic clones of the parent cell, containing the entire genome. At the same time, these daughter cells can differentiate into the specialized cells and tissues of a multicellular organism.

[Qq]Individuals	% of alleles shared	Justification
David and John	100%	David and John arose from the same fertilized egg cell. All of their alleles will be the same (except for ones that change through mutation)
Anne and Lisa	50%	Through meiosis, Anne produced the unfertilized egg that John’s sperm fertilized, producing the zygote that became Lisa. Meiosis involves passing on 50% of one’s alleles to one’s offspring (thus a 50% match)
Sarah and Lisa	50%	Because Sarah is Anne’s identical twin, they both possess the same genes. During meiosis, they’ll randomly pass on half of their alleles to their egg cells. In the same way that Lisa has 50% of Anne’s alleles, she’ll also have 50% of Sarah’s alleles.

[Qq]PART 2: We know that the condition is most likely dominant because two parents with the condition (such as parents II-5 and II-6 can have a child without the condition. That would be the case if both II-5 and II-6 were heterozygotes (Aa, with “A” being the allele that causes the condition). In that case, they’d have a 1/4 chance of having a child whose genotype is “aa” and would not have the condition (as we see in III-9). If the condition were recessive then the genotypes of II-5 and II-6 would have to be “aa,” and all of their children would have to be “aa.”

We know that the condition is autosomal because it appears equally in males and females. Additional proof that the condition is autosomal comes from the cross between II-5 and II-6.

If the condition was sex-linked recessive, then the Punnett square showing the cross between II-5 and II-6 would be as follows. II-5 (a male with the condition) would have to be X^aY. II-6 (a female with the condition) would have to be X^aX^a. As you can see in the Punnett square below, a girl without the condition would be impossible. Therefore the condition must be autosomal.

X^a	X^aX^a	X^aX^a

Note: the genes described in the following problem are fictional (for instructional purposes). In a certain breed of dog, eyes can be blue (B) or grey (b), the tail can be rigid (R) or stumpy (r), and hair can be long (Q) or short (q). B, R, and Q are the dominant alleles and the three genes are on different chromosomes.

PART 1: Betty is a dog that shows the three dominant traits. Indicate the genotype of the dog you should cross Betty with in order to determine her genotype. Explain your reasoning.

PART 2: All of the progeny of the cross described above have blue eyes and long hair. However, half have a stumpy tail, and half have a rigid tail. Identify Betty’s genotype. Explain your reasoning.

Part 3: Determine what fraction of the offspring from the cross BBRrQq X BbrrQq would be blue-eyed with a stumpy tail and short hair.

PART 4: The cross above produced 64 dogs from several matings. Predict how many dogs have the genotype BBrrqq.

UEFSVCAxOiA=VGhlIGdlbm90eXBlIGlzIA==[Qq]bbrrqq. Explanation: This kind of cross is what is known as a test cross, and here’s how it works. To determine the genotype of an organism whose genotype is unknown, you cross it with an individual who is recessive (and therefore homozygous) for all the traits. If many offspring are produced and all of the offspring have the dominant trait, then the test-crossed parent has to be homozygous dominant. If there’s a mix of the dominant and recessive traits in the offspring, then you know that the test-crossed parent was a heterozygote for that trait.

PART 2. Betty’s genotype is BBRrQQ. Explanation: If all of the progeny of the cross described above have blue eyes and long hair, then Betty must have been homozygous dominant for those two traits, and her genotype must be BB and QQ. If you’re not clear on this, just draw a Punnett square that crosses BB x bb. All of the offspring will be Bb (with blue eyes). The same works for QQ x qq. On the other hand, if half of Betty’s offspring have a stumpy tail and half have a rigid tail, then Betty must have been heterozygous for tail type, or Rr. Again, imagine (or draw) a Punnett square that’s Rr x rr. Half the offspring will be Rr, and half will be rr.

PART 3: 1/8. Explanation: Use the rule of multiplication to solve this problem. In a cross between BB x Bb, all of the offspring will have blue eyes (BB or BB). Crossing Rr with rr, half of the offspring will have stumpy tails (rr). Crossing Qq with Qq, 1/4 will have short hair (qq). 1 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8.

PART 4: Four dogs will have genotype BBrrqq. Explanation. Again, use the rule of multiplication to solve this problem. In a cross between BB x Bb, 1/2 of the genotype will have genotype BB. Crossing Rr with rr, 1/2 will have genotype rr. Crossing Qq with Qq, 1/4 will have genotype qq. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/16.
64 times 1/16= 4.

We know that the condition is autosomal and not sex-linked because the condition shows up equally in males and females. Additional evidence against sex linkage (and for autosomal inheritance) is the mating between III-3 and III-4, which produce a girl (IV-3) with the condition. As the Punnett square below shows, that can only happen when a father with the condition has a child with a mother who is a carrier (as shown below).

	X^A	X^a
X^a	X^AX^a	X^aX^a
Y	X^AY	X^aY

III-3 does not have the condition. Therefore his genotype has to be X^AY. A union between X^AY and a carrier X^AX^acould not produce a girl with the condition, as shown below.

	X^A	X^a
X^A	X^AX^A	X^AX^a

PART 2: Instead of 1:1:1:1, 2142 offspring have parental phenotypes (black-red or green-white), while 357 have recombinant phenotypes (black-white or green-red). This can be explained by interpreting the results as follows: the bristle color and eye color alleles are linked on the same chromosome. As a result, they usually stay together (producing parental phenotypes), but because of crossing over, they’ll also recombine (producing recombinant phenotypes) with a frequency of 357/2499, or 14.2%. Another way to say this is that the bristle color and eye color alleles are on the same chromosome, 14.2 cM apart.

Suppose that flower color is determined by a single gene with 3 alleles:

H = purple allele

I = orange allele

J = red allele

The phenotypes produced by the different genotypes are:

HH = purple flowers	HI = purple flowers
II = orange flowers	HJ = white flowers
JJ = red flowers	IJ = lethal (seed does not germinate and no flowers are produced)

Suppose you cross a plant producing purple flowers (genotype HI) with a

[Qq]Here’s the Punnett square.

	H	I
H	HH	HI
J	HJ	IJ

Three genotypes (HH, HI, and HJ) appear in equal proportion. The IJ genotype is lethal and isn’t counted in the survivors. To determine the phenotypes look up the phenotype associated with each genotype. HH is purple, as is HI. HJ is white. IJ is lethal. So, 2/3 of the offspring are purple, and 1/3 are white.

Both of the babies’ grandfathers are red-green color blind, while their grandmothers have normal vision. Neil, who is an only child, has normal vision. Cynthia and her brother also have normal vision.

PART A: Construct a family pedigree to show the inheritance of this recessive sex-linked genetic disorder. In your pedigree, use circles for females and squares for males; shade those affected by color blindness; use partial shading to indicate carriers.

PART B: Explain what can be deduced about the genotypes of both Cynthia and Neil with respect to red-green color blindness from the given information.

PART C: Use your answers to part (b) to predict the probabilities that Jadin and Kacee will be color blind. Justify your response.

[Qq]PART B: X^C denotes the allele for normal vision. X^c denotes the allele for normal vision. Y denotes the Y chromosome. Neil must be X^CY because he has normal vision (his only X chromosome must carry the gene for normal vision). Cynthia (because her dad was colorblind and therefore had to pass on his X^c allele to his daughters), must be a carrier, making her genotype X^CX^c.

PART C: Jadin’s genotype, as shown in the Punnett Square below, could be X^CY or X^cY). Therefore, he has a 50% chance of being colorblind. Kacee’s genotype could be X^CX^Cor X^CX^c, which means that she has a 0% chance of being colorblind and a 50% chance of being a carrier.

Often, the disease is associated with abnormalities in the COL4A5 gene.

To study mechanisms of inheritance in Alport syndrome, scientists genetically modified rats so that they lacked the COL4A5 gene. Then, they measured the survival of the offspring of the rats with the mutated version and the non-mutated (wild-type) version. Their results are shown below.

PART 1: Identify two controlled variables (constants) that the scientists should have implemented in this study.

PART 2: Make a claim about the type of inheritance pattern that Alport Syndrome shows in mice. Justify your claim with evidence or reasoning.

[Qq]The rats needed to be fed the same diet
The rats needed to be given the same space/enclosure
The rats needed to have been screened for other genetic disorders causing premature death
The rats needed to have been from the same line/pedigree.

PART 2: This pattern of inheritance is most likely sex-linked. The evidence is that the male mutant rats have a lower survival rate than the female mutant rats. This would happen if the disorder is X-linked. In that case, males with the mutation would completely lack the gene (since males only have one X chromosome) and produce none of the gene’s product (resulting in the symptoms of the disease). Females with one mutation would still have one normal copy of the gene on their second X chromosome, and would still produce some of the gene product associated with the COL4A5 gene.
