1.The allele for long fingers (F) is dominant to short (f) fingers. If a couple both with long fingers has an offspring with short fingers, what must be true? Select one: there is not enough information to determine this one parent is homozygous and one parent is heterozygous for the trait both parents are heterozygous for the trait this couple could not have a child with this phenotype both parents are homozygous for the trait 2. A cell with 8 chromosomes, that is 4 pairs of homologous, has how many chromatids after Meiosis I? Select one: 32 4 12 16 8

1. Which of the following genotypes would result in an individual with an autosomal dominant disease (MARK ALL THAT APPLY)? 1. heterozygous for a dominant, disease-causing allele 2. codominant for a dominant, disease-causing allele 3. homozygous for a recessive, disease-causing allele 4. homozygous for a dominant, disease-causing allele 2. Insects, and other animals without backbones, are classified as Invertebrates. True False 3. Environmental factors play little to no role in determining traits such as height and obesity. True False

In humans, the allele for brachydactyly (abnormally short fingers) is dominant. The normal finger condition is the recessive trait. Both parents are heterozygous. Use the letter "B" for the brachydactyly allele and letter "b" for the normal allele. 1. What is the genotype of the father? 2. What is the phenotype of the father? 3. What is the genotype of the mother? 4. What is the phenotype of the mother? 5. What is the predicted genotypic ratio in the offspring of these two people? 6. What is the predicted phenotypic ratio in the offspring of these two people? 7. What is the chance (as a percentage) that their children will be heterozygous like their parents? 8. What is the chance (as a percentage) that their children will have brachydactyly like their parents?

The recessive allele $s$ causes Drosophila to have small wings, and the $s^{+}$ allele causes normal wings. This gene is known to be X linked. If a small-winged male is crossed with a homozygous wild-type female, what ratio of normal to small-winged flies can be expected in each sex in the $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ ? If $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ flies are intercrossed, what $\mathrm{F}_{2}$ progeny ratios are expected? What progeny ratios are predicted if $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ females are backcrossed with their father?
