Q. 1. Prepare a family tree for at least 3 generations. (Maternal or Paternal family) 1) Show the blood groups of all individuals in family tree and upload it. (This is already done by you. Simply send it here) 2) As you now know about multiple allelism and codominance, try to justify inheritance of blood groups of the members of 2nd and 3rd generation in your family. (Work out the genetic crosses to justify) 3) If any of the family members does not know the blood group, see if you can predict it based on your knowledge of genetics. (Note: It is not possible in a few cases! ) Q. 2. In wheat, 3 genes cotrol the colour of kernel. Dominent alleles A, B and C contribute towards a reddish pigment that decides the kernel colour. [additive effect] . Recessive alleles a, b, and c do not produce the pigment. The total no. of dominent alleles in the genotype decides the kernel colour ranginging from dark red to white. If a wheat plant with AABbcc genotype is crossed with aabBCC plant, what would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 wheat plants? Show with a genetic cross. Q. 3. If two andalusian fowls with blue feathers are crossed, what would be the possible phenitypes in F1 progeny? Work out across and give the genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the same. Q. 4. Two newborn babies were accidentally mixed up at the hospital. Baby 1 - blood group A Baby 2 - blood group O Determine the parents of the babies by blood type inheritance. Mrs. Brown - Blood group B Mr. Brown - Blood grouo AB Mrs. Smith - Blood group B Mr. Smith - Blood group B Q.5. What is the chance that a blood type O and Type AB couple could produce offspring with blood type A? Q.6. A homozygous type B woman marries a heterozygous Type A man. Work out a cross to show the possible genotypes and phenotypes(blood groups) of their children. Q.7. Mr Ramesh(blood group O) has a daughter (blood group B). She marries a man with blood group O. What are the possible blood groups of the grandchildren of Mr. Ramesh? Show the genetic cross. Q. 8. Here is a case of paternity dispute. A woman with blood group A has a son with blood group O. Two men, with blood group AB and blood group B claim to be the father of this child. With your knowledge of inheritance of ABO bloodgroups, identify the real father of the child. Support your answer by genetic crossing. Q. 9. What are your possible genotypes if you have: a)type A blood? b) type B blood? c) type AB blood? d) type O blood? Q. 10. Aman with straight hair marries a woman with curly hair. All of their children have wavy hair. The eldest son marries a woman who also has wavy hair. They have 6 children. 2 of them have straight hair, 3 have wavy hair and 1 child has curly hair. Identify the pattern of inheritance and explain with a genetic cross. Q. 11. When deep purple eggplants were crossed with white eggplants, it resulted in eggplants of a light violet colored fruits. Identify the type of inheritance pattern. Q.12. A test cross was carried out to determine whether a fruit fly is homozygous (WW) or heterozygous (Ww) for long wings. The progeny showed 5 long-winged flies & 4 short winged-flies. Which of the following is a valid conclusion? A. the fruit fly is WW B. the fruit fly is Ww C. the fruit fly is ww D. more offspring are needed Q.13. Individuals with the same phenotype have the same genotype. A. true B. false Q.14. Which scenario best supports the conclusion that a black guinea pig's genotype is homozygous dominant? A. after mating with a white guinea pig, 2 black & 2 white guinea pigs were produced. B. after mating with a white guinea pig, 10 black & 8 white guinea pigs were produced. C. after mating with a white guinea pig, 12 black guinea pigs were produced. D. after mating with a black guinea pig, 2 black guinea pigs were produced. Q. 15. Two brown-eyed parents have a child with blue eyes. The best explanation is: A. a mutation occured before the child was born B. both parents carry the allele for blue eyes C. both parents are pure for brown eye Q.16. In mice brown (B) is dominant to white (b). A brown mouse is mated with a white mouse. Twelve brown mice are produced. The brown mouse's genotype is: A. BB B. Bb G, [ofs) D. a reliable conclusion can't be reached Q. 17. Two tall pea plants are crossed, producing 101 tall plants & 33 short plants. The genotypes of the tall parent plants are: A. Tt&Tt EL US Wi Coie cath D. tt &tt Q.18. To discover whether an animal showing the dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous, it must be crossed with an animal that is: A. homozygous dominant B. homozygous recessive C. heterozygous D. choices B & C Q. 19. In humans, brown eye colour is dominent over blue eye colour. A brown eyed man has a blue eyed mother. 1. Give the genotypes of the man and his mother. 2. What are the possible genotypes of his father? 3. If this brown eyed man (son), marries a blue eyed woman, what would be the possible eye colours of their children? (work out a genetic cross) Q. 20. To identify the genotype of yellow- seeded pea plants as either homozygous dominant (YY) or heterozygous (Yy), you could do a test cross with plants of genotype Q. 21. In hamsters, brown coat colur (B) is dominant over albino(b). (Albino do not produce any pigment) You want to know if your brown hamster carries the allele for albinism. 1. How would you find out? Explain by working out genetic crosses. 2. What is this method/cross called? Q. 22. In dogs, the barking trait is dominant over the silent trait and erect ears are dominant over drooping ears. Now, find out: 1. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring when dogs, heterozygous for both the traits are crossed ? 2. What are different phenotypes observed? Give the phenotypic ratio. 3. What is this type of cross known as? Q. 23. In horses, black coat colour is dominent over chestnut coat and _ trotting gait is dominent over pacing gait. A black trotter heterozygous for both the traits is mated to a chestnut pacer. 1. Give the genotypes of both the horses. 2. Work out a genetic cross showing their offspring. 3. What would be phenotypic ratio of the offspring? Q. 24. In humans, right handedness (R) dominates over left handedness(r) and brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue eyes.(b). A right handed blue eyed man marries a left handed brown eyed woman. Their son is right handed/blue eyed and the daughter is left handed/blue eyed. 1] Give the genotypes of: a. Man b. Woman c. Son d. Daughter 2] Show it with a genetic cross. 3] The daughter marries a Right handed brown eyed man. They have 9 children. All 9 children are right handed brown eyed. What would be the probable genotype of their father?
