Question
Plan and implement a strategy necessary to determine if offspring follow true Mendelian ratios by collecting data, representing data using tables or graphs, interpreting, and statistically analyzing data.
In the following hypothetical pedigree, there are two traits considered. One gene determines if a person is a vampire or not; the other gene determines if a person is a werewolf or not. The two genes sort independently. Study the diagram then answer the questions below. (HINT: Examine each trait separately when working out the genotypes.)
(a) Is being a vampire due to a dominant or recessive allele? How can you tell?
(b) Is being a werewolf due to a dominant or recessive allele? How can you tell?
(c) Give the most likely genotypes for individuals’ I-2, II-3, and II-6. Use D and d for the alleles of the vampire gene and R and r for the alleles of the werewolf gene.
vampire 2 werewolf ? 2 vampirel werewolf 2 nomalExplanation / Answer
A)- vampire is dominant allele because if one of the parents affected from a disease then he or she transmit that disease to their offspring then it is dominant disease.
B)-werewolf is also dominant allele because one of the parents is affected and transmit the disease.
C)- genotype of I-2(Dr), II-3 (Dr), II-6 (dr).
