Bell Work In dogs erect ears is dominate
Bell Work • In dogs, erect ears is dominate over droopy ears. What are the results if two heterozygous dogs have a litter of puppies. • Genotype: • Phenotype:
Biology – Lecture 49 Punnett Squares with Co and Incomplete Dominance
Genetics Vocabulary • Incomplete dominance - expressing an intermediate phenotype • Co-dominance - expressing both alleles at once
In Both Situations • Neither trait is dominant over the other one. • A middle or hybrid trait is achieved. • Each trait can get its own letter or one trait can be capital regular and the other can be capital prime. • Neither letter can be lowercase because neither trait is recessive.
Incomplete Dominance • This is when the heterozygous genotype is “in between” the two homozygeous genotypes. • Neither phenotype is actually shown.
Example of Incomplete Dominance • Height – Short (SS), Medium (TS), Tall (TT) • Hair Color – Black Hair (BB), Brown Hair (BB’), Blonde Hair (B’B’)
Co-dominance • An organism that has both alleles of a gene and displays both phenotypes at the same time. • It is not an “in-between” trait, but rather that both traits are shown.
Examples of Co-Dominance • The fur of animals – Black Fur (BB), Speckled Fur (BT), Tan Fur (TT)
Example Problems • In humans, wavy hair (CS) results by the codominant situation of curly hair (C) and straight hair (S). What are the possible results if a curly-haired man and wavy-haired woman have children.
• In iris, purple (P) is incompletely dominant over white (W). What would be the results of a cross if both parents were pale lavender?
• In crocus flowers, white (W) and purple (P) colors are co-dominant, and result in a purple and white striped flower when both genes are present. What are the possible results from the cross-pollination of a striped crocus with a white crocus?
• In cattle, red (R) is incompletely dominant over white (W) hides. Roan in the name of the color that results from incomplete dominance. What are the possible results if a white male mates with a roan female?
• Black hair is homozygous dominant. Brown hair is heterozygous. Blonde hair is homozygous recessive. (This is an example of incomplete dominance. ) A woman with brown hair marries a man with brown hair. What are genotypes and phenotype possibilities for their kids?
• Height is an example of incomplete dominance. The alleles are as follows: T=tall (5’ 11”-6’ 2”); TS=medium height (5’ 4”-5’ 10”) S=short (5’ 3” or smaller). • If Mom is 5’ 5”, and Dad is 6’ 0”, what are the possible height outcomes of their children?
• A cross between red-flowered snapdragons and white-flowered snapdragons produces offspring with pink flowers. Is this co-or incomplete dominance? Show the punnett square and the genotype/phenotype.
• Using the previous example, suppose a pinkflowered plant is crossed with a pink-flowered plant. What is the genotype and phenotype of the offspring?
• There are three possible genotypes and phenotypes for wing color in a species of moth: RR = red wings; RY = orange wings; YY = yellow wings. • What are the genotypes and phenotypes of a cross between an orange winged moth and a yellow winged moth?
• A tabby cat (co-dominant black/tan) is crossed with a tan cat. What are the possible outcomes of their children?
• In a fictional species of mice, one gene determines fur color. Let B = black fur and W = white fur. If this is co-dominance, what will the offspring look like? If this is incomplete dominance, what will the offspring look like?
