  2. Q. 1 Albinism in humans occurs when both alleles at a locus produce defective enzymes in the biochemical pathway leading to melanin. Given that heterozygotes are normally pigmented, which of the following statements is/are correct? • One normal allele produces enough melanin for a normal phenotype. • Each defective allele produces a little bit of melanin. • Two normal alleles are needed for normal melanin production. • The two alleles are codominant. • The amount of sunlight will not affect skin color of heterozygotes.

  3. Q. 2 Imagine a locus with four different alleles for fur color in an animal. The alleles are named Da, Db, Dc, and Dd. If you crossed two heterozygotes, DaDb and DcDd, what genotype proportions would you expect in the offspring? • 25% DaDc, 25% DaDd, 25% DbDc, 25% DbDd • 50% DaDb, 50% DcDd • 25% DaDa, 25% DbDb, 25% DcDc, 25% DdDd • 50% DaDc, 50% DbDd • 25% DaDb, 25% DcDd, 25% DcDc, 25% DdDd

  4. Q. 3 In geckos spotted skin (S) is dominant to stripey skin (s). Long tails (T) are dominant to short tails (t). If we cross a female that is SsTt with a male that is Sstt, what is the chance that an offspring will have stripey skin and a short tail? • 0 • ½ • ¼ • 1/8 • 1/16

  5. Q. 4 In geckos spotted skin (S) is dominant to stripey skin (s). Long tails (T) are dominant to short tails (t). If we cross a female that is SsTt with a male that is Sstt, what is the chance that an offspring will have spotted skin and a short tail? • 0 • ½ • ¾ • 3/8 • 3/16
