Introduction

Genetics is a growing field to help save our planets resources by creating genetically modified organisms and resources to ease the demands on our natural resources. Use your knowledge of mendelian and nonmendelian genetics.

Monohybrid crosses are crosses examining one gene at a time. Parents are either homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous for a particular trait.

Dihybrid cross evaluates the inheriance of ttwo genes simultaneously.

Dihybrid Cross

01. Two plants heterozygous for round (R) and yellow (Y) peas are mated. The recessive traits are wrinkled (r) and green (y). How many individuals are going to show the penotype round and green?

02. Two traits are being examined at the same time in pot belly pigs. In potbelly pigs, curly tails (C) are dominant over straight tails (c). Pink color (P) is dominate over gray (p). You are to cross a male pig that is homozygous dominate for both traits with a female pig that is homozygous recessive for type of tail and heterozygous for body color.How many offspring are going to be curly and pink?

03. Looking at the Punnett square, how many individuals are going to be white hait and coarse hair?

The air is clean and the trees are producing oxygen, you've saved the planet's lung.

Introduction

Incomplete dominance and codominance are two types of genetic inheritance. Codominance results in neither allele being dominant allowing both to being expressed. Examples are speckled chickens or spotted cows. Incomplete dominance is when one allele is not completely dominant over another results in a blend of the two traits.

01. In humans, the gene for curly hair (H) is incompletely dominant to the gene for straight hair (h). Individuals that are heterozygous (Hh) have wavy hair. Two wavy-haired heterozygous parents have a child. What is the probablity that the child will have wavy hair?

02. When white-coated cattle (W) are mated with red-coated cattle (R), the offspring are roan (WR), meaning their coats contain both white and red hairs. This is an example of codominance. A farmer breeds two roan cattle with one another. What is the chance that their offspring will be roan?
