Zach Weinberg Medelian Genetics SI 10/7/2011 Practice Round 1: 1.

Principle of segregation: Law 1,Referring to meiosis when paired chromosomes containing alleles, separate into haploid gamete cells. Independent assortment: Law 2, When gametes are formed the chromosomes which contain the genes are randomly assorted into the gametes in close to equal distributions. 2. Cell with 3 pairs of homologous chromosomes as a diploid cell and haploid:

Practice Round 2: 1. PP, PP, Pp,Pp 2. GgWW, GgWw, ggWW, ggWw, GgWw, Ggww, ggww, GgWW, GgWw, ggWw, GgWw, Ggww, ggWw, ggww 3. Parental phenotypes: MaleCW, Cw, cW, cw. Female cw, cw,cw,cw,cw. Possible outcomes: CcWw, Ccww, ccWw,ccww (this is repeated three other times for all outcome due to the mothers phenotypes being heterozygous recessive) 4. Parental phenotypes: MaleCW, Cw, cW, cw. Female CW, Cw, CW,Cw. Possible outcomes: CCWW, CCWw, CcWW, CcWW CCWW CCWw CcWW CcWw CCWw CCww CCWw Ccww CCWW CCWw CcWW CcWw CCWw CCww CcWw Ccww Practice Round 3: 1. The child born from a color blind female and a male with normal color vision have 50% chance of their male child being color blind and 0 % chance of the female being color blind however there is a 50% chance that she will be a carrier. 2. Because color blindness is a recessive trait it gets ruled out because of the dominant normal color vision alleles from the female, therefore 0% male or female will be color blind. 3. There is a 50% chance the male child will be color blind and a 50% chance the female will be color blind.
