Epistasis Practice

The document contains questions about genetics concepts such as lethal alleles, multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, codominance, epistasis, and dihybrid crosses. It asks the reader to explain how these concepts can disrupt Mendelian phenotype ratios and gives genetic crosses in organisms like peas, dogs, and chickens to analyze the expected outcomes.

Epistasis Practice Answer the following questions on a SEPARATE sheet of paper.

Be neat and make sure you distinguish between letters! . E!plain how the following phenomena "an disrupt #endelian phenotypi" ratios. a. $ethal alleles d. %odominan"e b. #ultiple alleles e. Epistasis ". &n"omplete dominan"e

'. (ow does the relationship between dominant and re"essi)e alleles differ in epistasis* +. &n sweet peas, the two alleli" pairs %, " and P, p are known to effe"t pigment formation in the flowers. The dominants, %-P, are both ne"essary for "olored flowers. Absen"e of either results in white flowers. A dihybrid plant is "rossed to a white one whi"h is hetero.ygous at the /%0 lo"us. a. 1hat is the genotype of the dihybrid plant* b. 1hat is the genotype of the white plant* ". 1hat kinds of flowers, "olored or white, are to be e!pe"ted from the "ross abo)e* &n"lude the ratio. 2. Assume that another alleli" pair in sweet peas also affe"ts pigment formation in addition to the genes mentioned in question +. The presen"e of the dominant, R, is required for red flowers. &t3s re"essi)e allele, r, produ"es yellow flowers. 1hat would be the phenotypes of the following plants in relation to flower "olor* a. %"PpRr b. %"ppRR ". %"PPrr d. ""PPRR 4. &n a "ertain breed of dog, the dominant, B, is required for bla"k fur5 it3s re"essi)e, b, produ"es brown fur. (owe)er, the dominant, & is the epistati" to the "olor lo"us and "an inhibit pigment formation. The re"essi)e allele, i, on the other hand, permits pigment deposition in the fur. 1hat would be the phenotypes of the following sets of parents and what would be the results of the mating* a. bbii ! Bb&i b. bbii ! Bbii ". bb&i ! BB&i 6. 1hat type of epistasis is being demonstrated in question 72* 8. 1hat type of epistasis is being demonstrated in question 74* 9. &n poultry, the allele, B, "an result in bla"k feathers. &ts allele, b, "an produ"e white splashed feathers. The hetero.ygous results in blue feathers. The fa"tors : and % are both required for any "olor at all in the feathers. (omo.ygous re"essi)eness at either lo"us results in white feathers. &n ea"h of the following + "ases gi)e the genotypes of the parental birds and their offspring. a. Two "ompletely white birds whi"h produ"e a ; whi"h is bla"k. b. Two bla"k birds whi"h produ"e 42 bla"k birds and 2' white birds. ". Two blue birds whi"h produ"e 6 bla"k, 28 blue, and 2 white slashed birds. <. Two pairs of alleles are in)ol)ed in "yanide produ"tion in white "lo)er. Some strains ha)e high "yanide "ontent, others a low one. 1hen high Strain A was "rossed to low Strain B, the ; all had high "yanide "ontent. 1hen ; plants were "rossed among themsel)es, the following resulted= (igh "yanide "ontent= 24> plants $ow "yanide "ontent= +4> plants :ffer an e!planation for these results.
