Which of these would you expect to have dark red flowers?

a flower homozygous for the red flower allele


Suppose that a gray fruit fly heterozygous for the alleles for body color is crossed with one that has a black body What percentage of the offspring would you expect to have black bodies?

You would expect 50% of the offspring to have black bodies. This is because the offspring will inherit one allele for black body color from the black parent, and one allele for gray body color from the heterozygous gray parent. The black allele is dominant over the gray allele.

What feature of a pedigree would allow one to conclude that the disorder was caused by a dominant allele?

If the disorder is caused by a dominant allele, you would expect to see affected individuals in every generation of the pedigree, as it only takes one copy of the dominant allele to express the disorder. Additionally, affected individuals would have at least one affected parent.


Would you expect there to be more children with the dominant phenotype or recessive phenotypewhy?

There would likely be more children with the dominant phenotype because it only requires one copy of the dominant allele to express the dominant trait, whereas the recessive phenotype requires two copies of the recessive allele.


What conditions would be necessary for the albino allele to be more frequent?

For the albino allele to be more frequent in a population, there needs to be a higher rate of genetic drift or a selective advantage associated with the albino phenotype. Additionally, reduced fitness of individuals with the normal pigmentation allele could also contribute to the increased frequency of the albino allele.


If an allele for a particular trait is NOT expressed at all when another allele for the trait is present the allele is .?

The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps


If an allele for a particular trait is not expressed at all when another allele for the trait is present the allele is?

The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps


Which alleles would a sufferer have?

A sufferer of a genetic disorder would typically have two copies of a recessive allele (homozygous recessive) for that particular trait or condition. For dominant conditions, they would have at least one copy of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). The specific alleles involved depend on the disorder in question.


If training for sport related fitness what taining frequencys are required?

The training frequency would be at least 3 to 4 times a week.


What is an example of allele frequency?

An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.
