How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive? quizlet

In sesame plants, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant to wrinkled leaf (l). Pod type and leaf type are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes for the two parents for all possible matings producing the following offspring:
A) 318 one-pod, normal leaf : 98 one-pod, wrinkled leaf
B) 323 three-pod, normal leaf : 106 three-pod, wrinkled leaf
C) 401 one-pod, normal leaf
D) 150 one-pod, normal leaf : 147 one-pod, wrinkled leaf : 51 three-pod, normal leaf : 48 three-pod, wrinkled leaf
E) 223 one-pod, normal leaf : 72 one-pod, wrinkled leaf : 76 three-pod, normal leaf; 27 three-pod, wrinkled leaf

Recessive. All affected individuals (Arlene, Tom, Wilma, and Carla) are homozygous recessive aa. George is Aa, since some of his children with Arlene are affected. Sam, Ann, Daniel, and Alan are each Aa, since they are all unaffected children with one affected parent. Michael also is Aa, since he had an affected child (Carla) with his heterozygous wife Ann. Sandra, Tina, and Christopher can each have either the AA or Aa genotype.

A space probe discovers a planet inhabited by creatures who reproduce with the same hereditary patterns seen in humans. Three phenotypic characters are height (T = tall, t = dwarf), head appendages (A = antennae, a = no antennae), and nose morphology (S = upturned snout, s = downturned snout). Since the creatures are not "intelligent," Earth scientists are able to do some controlled breeding experiments, using various heterozygotes in testcrosses. For tall heterozygotes with antennae, the offspring are: tall-antennae, 46; dwarf-antennae, 7; dwarf-no antennae, 42; tall-no antennae, 5. For heterozygotes with antennae and an upturned snout, the offspring are: antennae-upturned snout, 47; antennae-downturned snout, 2; no antennae-downturned snout, 48; no antennae-upturned snout, 3. Calculate the recombination frequencies for both experiments.

How would you determine whether curl allele is dominant or recessive?

How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive? Mate the stray to a non-curl cat. If any offspring have the "curl" trait it is likely to be dominant.

How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive How would you obtain true

You would obtain some true-breeding offspring homozygous for the curl allele from matings between the F1 cats resulting from the original curl X noncurl crosses whether the curl trait is dominant or recessive. You know that cats are true-breeding when curl x curl matings produce only curl offspring.

Which allele is the dominant allele explain how you know?

Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele (also known as being heterozygous?). For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant, therefore you only need one copy of the 'brown eye' allele to have brown eyes (although, with two copies you will still have brown eyes).

What is a dominant allele What is a recessive allele quizlet?

Dominant Allele. An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present. Recessive Allele. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
