albinism, lack of pigmentation in humans, results from an autosomal recessive gene (a). two parents with normal pigmentation have an albino child. what is the probability that their next three children will be an albino? 1/64 - Aa x Aa will results in 1/4 possibility of albinism. for the probability of three children to have it you multiply 1/4 to itself three times. the genotypes of husband and wife are I^A and I^B. among the blood types of their children, how many different genotypes and ph...

Phenyketonuria is an inborn error of metabolism caused by an autosomal recessive gene. The frequency of this allele in the population is 0.03. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected incidence of phenyketonuria among the offspring of all matings in which both parents are found to be carriers? A. 0.0009 B. 0.03 C. 0.25 D. 0.5 C The MN blood group phenotypes of 2,000 British citizens were 596M, 978MN, and 426N. What is the frequency of the NN genotype? A. 0.106 B. 0.1...

The Beadle and Tatum experiments were based on all of the following assumptions except that _______. two strains of auxotrophic Neurospora that grow on minimal medium supplemented with biotin have mutations in the same gene In their first round of screening, Beadle and Tatum plated spores on minimal medium. The purpose of this screen was to _______. determine whether any auxotrophic mutants had been generated Which of the following can be inferred from the Beadle and Tatum experiments? For ...
