Compare the allele in question to known mutant alleles. If similar, it si probably a mutant as well.

A zebra population has a mutant allele for spots. The spot trait S is dominant to the striped allele s. what would the punnett square be if a spotted male mates with a striped female assuming that he?
quinceanera
Can achondroplasia be passed on to offspring?
Yes. Most cases of achondroplasia are associated with a dominant mutant form of the FGFR3 gene. Thus, if someone with achondroplasia has children with a person without achondroplasia, 50% of the offspring would be predicted to inherit the disorder. If two people with achondroplasia were to have children, 50% would inherit acondroplasia (i.e. would be heterozygous for the mutant FGFR3 allele), 25% would be normal, and 25% would inherit two copies of the mutant FGFR3 allele, a condition which is almost certainly lethal.
Which is true of autosomal recessive diseases a. The disease can skips generations b. Males and Females have an equal chance of inheriting the mutant allele c. Only Males inherit the?
only A and B
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.
What is an example of allele frequency?
The frequency for the mutant cystic fibrosis allele among Caucasians is 0.025, while the frequency of the normal allele is 0.975.
In nature genetically albino plants genotype gg do not survive long enough to produce seeds. Why do you thing some plants still carry the mutant g allele?
It may not be a "mutant" allele but a recessive allele that offers other (perhaps yet-unknown) benefits. Or, it has never caused a significant enough problem to have evolved out of the genome.
What results when one allele is not dominant over the other?
If one allele is not dominant over the other it would mean the alleles are the same so that organism would be a mutant.

What is null allele?
A null allele is a mutant copy of gene that completely lacks that gene's normal function. This can be the result of the complete absence of the gene product (protein, RNA) at the molecular level, or the expression of a non-functional gene product. At the Phenotypic level, a null allele is indistinguishable from a deletion of the entire locus.
Can achondroplasia be passed on to offspring?
Yes. Most cases of achondroplasia are associated with a dominant mutant form of the FGFR3 gene.

The mutant allele causing sickle-cell anemia is found at high frequency mainly due to?
Sickle cell anemia is found in high frequency because it is a codominant mutation. It only requires one allele for the gene to manifest.
What does it mean to be heterozygous for a gene?
homozygous mutant means both alleles of a gene are mutated.
