Genetics/DNA Problems

You are studying a human disease that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. You recognize that the disease maps to chromosome 10, so you obtain four DNA probes that hybridize to different chromosome 10 regions. A family in which the disease appears presents itself to a medical genetics clinic. DNA is extracted from eac ...continues

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

a) Address the following Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium problem. i) A population of iguanas on the Galapagos Islands has 20 individuals with webbed feet and 180 individuals with the dominant trait of non-webbed feet. What are the frequencies of webbed feet and non-webbed feet traits in this population? ii) H ...continues

Mendel and the Gene Idea

1.) In dogs, black (B) is dominant to chestnuts (b), and solid color (S) is dominant to spotted (s). What are the genotypes of the of the parents that would produce a cross with 3/8 black solid, 3/8 black spotted, 1/8 chestnut solid, and 1/8 chestnut spotted puppies? 2.) When hairless hamsters are mated with normal-haired ham ...continues

Can you determine the genotypes of the parents of this cross? Determine the genotypes of the three dogs. Explain why the F1 are all red and how the 9:6:1 ratio of the phenotypes in the F2 occurred.

1.) Fur color in rabbits is determined by a single gene locus for which there are four alleles. Four phenotypes are possible: black, Chinchilla (gray color causes by white hairs with black tips), Himalayan (white with black patches on extremities), and white. The black allele (C) is dominant over all other alleles, the Chinchil ...continues

Genetics Problem - Color Blindness

Colorblindness in humans is x-linked recessive trait. Question: One out of every 12 human males has red green colorblindness. How common is it among human females. Can you show me how to determine its prevalence among females as a genetics problem? I believe the answer to this problem is 1/200 females are colorblind. I ...continues

Genetics Problems

1.) In guinea pigs, black (B) is dominant to brown (b), and dolid color (S) is dominant to spotted (s). A heterozygous black, solid-colored pig is mated with a brown, spotted pig. The total offspring for several litters are black solid=16, black spotted=5, brown solid=5, and brown spotted=14. Are these genes linked or unlink ...continues
