Part a in humans, male-pattern baldness may be assumed to be controlled by an autosomal gene that occurs in two allelic forms. allele b determines nonbaldness, and allele b determines pattern baldness. in males, because of the presence of testosterone, allele b is dominant over b. if a man and woman both with genotype bb have a son, what is the chance that he will eventually be bald?

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

(drag each tile to the correct identify which questions can be answered by what can be answered by science or which cannot. -is it right or wrong to use genetic engineering to produce new food products? -what are the most common social settings that tend to produce accomplished artists? -if a new gene is added to the genome of a tomato species, will that species be more resistant to insects? -should humans use biotechnology to bring extinct organisms from the fossil record back to life? -do the types of organisms found in the fossil record appear in consistent sequences in different parts of the world? -are michelangelo's paintings more impressive than rembrandt's?
