1. A man with type A blood has children with a woman with type B blood. Their child has type O blood.
i. What are the genotypes of these 3 individuals?
ii. What genotypes and in what frequencies would you expect in future offspring from these two parents?
2. Phenylketouria(PKU) is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. If a woman and her husband, who are both carriers, have three children, what is the probability of each of the following?
i. All three children are of normal phenotype.
ii. All three children have the disease.
3. The genotype of F1 individuals in a tetrahybrid cross is AaBbCcDd. Assuming independent assortment of these four genes, what are the probabilities that F2 offspring will have the following genotypes?
i. aabbccdd
ii. AaBbCcDd
iii. AABBCCDD
iv. AaBBccDd
v. AaBBCCdd
4. What is the probability that each of the following pairs of parents will produce the indicated offspring?(assume independent assortment of all gene pairs)
i. AABBCC X aabbcc ---Ã AaBbCc
ii. AaBbCc X AaBbCc -Ã AABBCC
iii. AABbCc X AaBbCc ---Ã AAbbCC
iv. AaBbCc X AaBbCc ---Ã AaBbCc
v. aaBbCC X AABbcc ---Ã AaBbCc
5. In maize plants, a dominant allele I inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele i permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele P causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
