Consider again the hypothetical population with two genes, each with two alleles (A & a, B & b) as in question 6. If you perform a monohybrid cross of an AABB homozygote with an aabb homozygote, what is the proportion of F2 offspring that have the genotype AaBb? a.0.0625 b.0.125 c.0.5 d.0.25

Consider a hypothetical population with two genes. Each of these two genes have two alleles (A & a, B & b). These genes are not linked, and these genes are true dominant/recessive (i.e. not co-dominant or incomplete dominance... "A" dominant to "a" and "B" dominant to "b"). Suppose you perform a monohybrid cross of an AABB homozygote with an aabb homozygote through to the F2 generation. In 2019, the genotype frequency of individuals with "aa" (regardless of their B/b genes)...
Consider again the hypothetical population with two genes, each with two alleles (A & a, B & b) as in questions 6 & 7. Suppose in 2019, that the genotype frequency of individuals with "aa" (regardless of their B/b genes) was at 0.09. What is the frequency of the "A"allele in this population? a.0.42 b.0.7 c.0.16 d.0.91
Linkage: Consider three genes, each with two alleles. An individual with genotype AAbbDD is crossed with an individual whose genotype is aaBBdd. What are all the gamete types (gamete genotypes) that their offspring (AaBbDd) can produce? Draw chromosome diagrams if it helps you to answer the question. a. If the three genes are unlinked? b. If all three links are tightly linked (no crossing over)? c. If the first two genes are tightly linked (no crossing over), but the third...
3. Consider two traits for a hypothetical animal fur color and ear length. Each trait is controlled by one gene with two alleles. Black fur is dominant to gray fur and long ears are dominant to short. The genes for the two traits are located on different chromosomes. Note: In the following problems, you need to take both traits into account simultaneously a. You cross a true breeding black long-eared male with a true-breeding gray short-eared female. What is the...
Consider a locus with two alleles - A and a. These alleles are codominant, meaning that the fitness of the heterozygote is halfway between either homozygote. Consider further a population of randomly mating green frogs where the genotype counts are AA = 500, Aa = 250, and aa = 250. In this population the relative fitnesses of each genotype are AA = 1.00, Aa = 0.80, and aa = 0.60. What is the mean relative fitness within this population? Please...

Assume that tail length in mice is a quantitative trait involving two genes, each with 2 alleles. One allele at each gene contributes to long tails, the other allele at each gene does not (small tails). The genes are located on different autosomes. Mice with 0 contributing alleles have tails that are 4 cm in length; mice with tails with 4 contributing alleles are 12 cm in length. Determine the phenotypic ratio from an F2 from a true breeding parent...
Genes A and B are linked. Individual plants homozygous for different combinations of these genes (AABB, aabb, AAbb, aaBB) were crossed at random to produce F1 plants. The F1 plants were self pollinated to produce the F2. The F2 progeny from six of the F1 self pollinations are listed below. Number of F2 plants in each phenotypic class F1 Plant-------------------AB--------------- Ab --------------- aB----------------- ab 1 --------------------------0 ----------------98 ---------------- 0------------------ 32 2 ------------------------- 64 --------------10 -----------------8...
