Tay-Sachs is an inherited condition caused by recessive allele
for the gene coding for an enzyme required in the regulation of the synthesis of glycolipids. Lack of this enzyme results in the accumulation of glycolipids in the central nervous system of affected individuals which causes severe neurological disorder.
i) Suggest why individual that are heterozygous for Tay-
Sachs conditioned are apparently unaffected (2m). ii) Draw a genetic diagram to show how 2 apparently normal parents may have an affected child (3m). QUESTION 2
A pea plant is heterozygous for both seed shape and seed
colour. S is the allele for dominant, spherical shape characteristic; s is the allele for recessive, dented shape characteristic. Y is the allele for the dominant, yellow colour characteristic; y is the allele for recessive , green colour characteristic. All the F1 generation is spherical and yellow.
i) State the genotype of the parents (2m).
ii) Show the genetic diagram of the F1 generation (4m). iii) State the percentage of F2 generation which has both heterozygous genotypes for spherical and yellow seed (4m) QUESTION 3
In a pea plants, round seeds (S) are dominant to wrinkle
seeds (s). In a genetic cross of a 2 plants that are heterozygous for the seed shape trait,
i) show the genetic diagram of the progeny (2m)
ii) Give the phenotypic ratio of the round seeds to wrinkle seeds (1m) iii) List the genotype of all offspring (4m) QUESTION 4
Tongue rolling is dominant trait. A woman who can roll her
tongue marries a man who cannot. Their first child has his father’s phenotype.
i) State the genotype of the mother, father and child (3m)
ii) Give the probability that a second child will not be a tongue roller (1m) QUESTION 5
In a population of 1200 pea plants, there a 900 individuals
with purple flower while the rest have white colour.
i) Give the dominant and recessive traits
ii) Give the phenotype of F1 generation iii) Give the genotype of F1 generation iv) State the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation v) State the genotypic ration of the F1 generation QUESTION 6
A family has 2 daughters and 2 sons but 1 of the sons is color
blind while the other is normal.
i) State the type of inheritance
ii) State from whom does the son inherited the gene of color blindness. Show a genetic diagram to prove your answer. iii) If a son marries a normal female, give the probability of their children will inherit color blindness. QUESTION 7
The ABO blood group is governed by a set of three multiple
alleles, IA, IB and IO. A man of blood group B married a woman of unknown blood group. They had 3 children. 1 had blood group A, 1 had AB and 1 had O.
i) Define multiple allele
ii) State the genotype of the parents and give your reasons. iii) Draw a genetic diagram to show the inheritance of ABO blood group in the family QUESTION 8
In a pea plant, yellow seed color controlled by Y allele and
dominant over green seed color which controlled by y allele. Smooth seed is controlled by R allele while wrinkled allele is controlled by y allele. In a cross between parents with genotype Yyrr and yyRR;
i) State phenotype of both parents
ii) State genotype and phenotype of F1 iii) State genotype and phenotype of F2 and their ratios QUESTION 9
In corn, colored aleurone is due to R allele. Recessive allele, r
is colorless aleurone. The color of the plant controlled by G and g allele. Green color is dominant over yellow color. In a test cross between a plant of unknown genotype & phenotype; and the plant is homozygous recessive, the offspring are as follow;
