Genetics Exam 1- Final exam

Assuming Mendel/s principles, if a heterozygote is test-crossed the genotypic ratios would be:

Assuming Mendel's principles, if a heterozygote is selfed and the phenotypic ratio is 1:2, what could explain this?

Comb shape in chickens represents one of the classic examples of gene interaction. Two gene pairs interact to influence the shape of the comb. The genes for rose comb (R) and pea comb (P) together produce walnut comb. The fully homozygous recessive condition (rrpp) produces the single comb. Assume that a pea-comb chicken is corssed with a walnut-comb chicken and the following offspring are produced: 30 walnut, 15 rose, 9 pea and 2 single. What are the probable genotypes of the parents

The genes for rose comb (R) and pea comb (P) together produce walnut comb. The fully homozygous recessive condition (rrpp) produces the single comb. Assume that a pea-comb chicken is corssed with a walnut-comb chicken and the following offspring are produced: 30 walnut, 15 rose, 9 pea and 2 single. What are all the genotypes from such a cross?

You testcross a pea plant with genotype TtWw. What fraction of the offspring will have the genotype TtWw, assuming Mendel/s principles.

How many different gamete are possible from an organism with genotype AABBDd, assuming Mendel's principles?

The phenomenon of heterozygote advantage is seen in Marfan's syndrome.

Use the following for 8-10. Green hair is autosomal dominant to blue hair and the trait is coded for by one. A gene haired alien has children with a green haired alien and they have a blue haired alien child. Use the following answers. You can use 1 answer more than once. Assume Mendel's principles. What is the probability that their next child has blue hair and is a male?

Use the following for 8-10. Green hair is autosomal dominant to blue hair and the trait is coded for by one. A gene haired alien has children with a green haired alien and they have a blue haired alien child. Use the following answers. You can use 1 answer more than once. Assume Mendel's principles. What is the probability of getting a green haired alien, then a blue haired alien and then a green haired alien?

Use the following for 8-10. Green hair is autosomal dominant to blue hair and the trait is coded for by one. A gene haired alien has children with a green haired alien and they have a blue haired alien child. Use the following answers. You can use 1 answer more than once. Assume Mendel's principles. What is the probability of getting only 2 out of 6 aliens with green hair?

A gene has 9 alleles in a population. How many different genotypes are possible, assuming Mendel's principles?

In a Chi-squared test, as the value of the X^2 increases, the likelihood/probability of rejecting the null hypothesis -------. Use the a table. Too lazy to post it in here.

In a chi-squared test, if the X^2 value is found at a Probability (p value) of more than 0.05, then you would fail to reject the null hypothesis
