Document Summary

Lecture 12: strategy to distinguish between a phenotype that results from codominance relative to incomplete dominance. White alleles make no pigment whatsoever: of course, when crossed, the pink flowers can produce both red and white flowers. They simply mask the effects of the recessive alleles and determine the phenotype: an allele isn"t always dominant all the time (a dominant over o blood type but codominant with b blood type). It depends on the other allele present in the pair: which allele in a heterozygote is dominant, given the biochemical mechanism of action of allele products, dominance happens because of the interaction of the gene products, ex. Amp levels: another allele (b allele) codes for receptors that are insensitive to hormonal stimulation and produce black melanin all the time. In heterozygotes, b and w alleles are both present: the b allele is on all the time, while the w allele is sensitive to hormonal stimulation.

The genes curved (c, curved wings) and plexus (px, extra wing veins) are linked on the second chromosome in Drosophila. The progeny with the following phenotypes are recovered from a standard test cross: c px 80 c + 400 + + 90 + px 430 A) What are the genotypes of the two parents? Specify whether the curved and plexus mutant alleles are in repulsion linkage or in coupling linkage in the wild type parent. B) Give the map distance in centiMorgans between these two loci. (Show your work). (Note the numbers above will be changed for the minitest) 5. Snap dragon flowers exhibit incomplete dominance in flower colour such that Rr individuals have pink flowers, rr have white flowers, and RR have red flowers. You encounter a population of flowering snapdragon and count 3 individuals with white flowers, 39 individuals with pink flowers, and 8 individuals with red flowers. a. If the population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many pink individuals would you expect to find in a sample of 50 plants? b. What are two distinct hypotheses that could be used to explain your observation (that is, the difference between what you observe and expect)?

(please show working as numbers would be changed for the test ).

GENETICS : You perform a dihybrid cross between two dogs that are each BbFf. Where not specified otherwise, assume black fur B is completely dominant to white fur b and furry F is completely dominant to hairless f

1. What genotypes at one locus will be epistatic to what genotypes at the other locus, if hair color and hair presence were the only measured phenotypes? (you may find it helpful to write out the genotypes and the phenotypes each would produce, and remember that epistasis is involved in this question).

What phenotypic ratios would you expect in the following scenarios (assume, unless otherwise noted, that the epistasis in part 1 still applies)?

2. Black B is completely dominant to albino b, furry F is completely dominant to hairless f

3. Black displays incomplete dominance to albino , and furry is codominant with hairless

4. Animals that are heterozygous at either locus are black and furry, overriding the other locus' geneotype

5. The black allele B displays epistasis when present at even one copy that masks the effects of the hairless f allele

6. It takes two black B alleles to mask the effects of the hairless f allele

7. Both the black alleles B and furry alleles F are lethal in their homozygous dominant states

8. Both the albino alleles b and hairless alleles f are lethal in their homozygous recessive states

9. Female dogs die when they have homozygous recessive or homozygous dominant states for either locus (dogs use XY inheritance for sex like we do). Note sex of doss in your phenotype ratios.

10. The black allele B although completely dominant, is the only 70% penetrant in heterozygotes and is 90% penetrant in homozygotes for the B allele

11. The hairless allele f is dominant in males and recessive in females
