  • Determining Genotypes

    What we don't know is whether or not maternal grandmothers were carriers (heterozygous - one recessive, one dominant allele on either X) for the disorder.

  • Curled cat genetics

    For example if the curl allele is X-linked the first curl cat would either be a homozygous female (CC or cc; depending on if the allele is recessive or dominant) or a male (C or c) If the first cat is a female and the trait is dominant the cross would

  • Atypical inheritance

    For genotypes use "I" to represent the dominant allele for inflated pods and "i" to represent the recessive allele for constricted pods.The allele for detached earlobes is dominant in humans while the allele for attached earlobes is recessive.

  • Analyzing Genetic Disease Through Several Generations

    phenotypes is a rare disorder or whether both phenotypes of pair is part of normal variation.(1) The application of Mendelian genetic to medicine is based on many disorders or diseases that are inherited as dominant or recessive phenotypes.

  • Gregor Mendel's Laws

    A certain characteristic, for simplicity's sake, is coded by an allele. However, an organism often carries more than one version of an allele, although only one of them is expressed most of the time.

  • F1 and F2 generations: aa bb (mutant) x AA BB

    The F2 cross would be between F1 siblings: AaBb X AaBb The possible gametes are: AB Ab aB ab (see attached file for Punnet square; note that Arabidopsis nomenclature is used--mutants are lower-case regardless of whether they are dominant or recessive

  • Genotype of a particular chipmunk

    To determine whether it's homo- or heterozygous, the easiest way is to breed it to a long-eared (i.e. homozygous recessive phenotype, ee) animal and look at what kind of offspring result.

  • Calculation of dominant and recessive alleles in population

    q2 = .0001 or q = 0.01 While putting value of q in above equation we get p2 + 0.02 p + 0.0001 = 1 or, p2 + 0.02 p -0.9999 = 0 or, p = 0.99 Therefore frequency of dominant and recessive allele is 0.99 and 0.01 respectively Carriers are heterozygote

  • Sex-linked Genetic traits

    For example, let's say a trait is dominant (A) and X-linked (this means that an individual only needs to inherit one copy of the dominant allele to express the trait).
