It is rare to find a female with a sex-linked disease such as haemophilia or red-green colour blindless. Justify this statement. [3]

Haemophilia and red-green colour blindness are X-linked recessive disorders and as a result females require two recessive alleles on the X chromosome to express the condition, whereas males only need one. Also females can be carriers for the disease; they can possess the recessive allele but this will be masked from the phenotype by a dominant allele. Hence it is rare to find females with a sexlinked disease.

A red cow and a white cow mated to produce four offspring: 1 was red, 1 was white and 2 were pink. Explain this type of inheritance and why it does not follow Mendelian ratios. 3M

for these questions can u draw pedigree, list cases, etc. and give a short explanation

If you mean punnet squares, yes you can.

Bio teacher takes marks off if we don't draw punnet squares where appropriate :/

I'd assume "Yes, you can draw a pedigree if given enough space."

The correct term the co-dominant colour combination is roan though, right?

Normally, I would draw a Punnett square to show the codominance with ratios and all. The pedigree only shows what ones have the specific colour, not really effective in this case.

Yep, but also mention the size of the chromosomes.
I had the same answer, but only got 2/3 because didn't mention size >.<

Bio Teacher also takes marks off (or does not award marks) if you have not completed the table. Everything should be closed.

 

[Menomaths]

Didn't even know about this...

 

[bedpotato]

What really? So the size of the chromosomes are different in codominance?

No lol.
That was meant for sex-linkage.

 

[Spiritual Bean]

what

lol...


who's screwed like me?

Oh...

biology doesn't even count for me as i do 12 units and its my worst 2 unit subject

nice bro

atar before bio: 99.7

after bio: 89

bad luck brian

Is this something like incomplete dominance? If not what is incomplete dominance?..

co-dominance

idek anymore

 

[abcderic]

Hm, I thought incomplete dominance was the blending of both alleles, hence the pink fur coat from red and white parents.

Yeah, got it mixed up with the cattle colour - red, white, roan.

 

[leesh95]

Co-dominance --> Both alleles expressed in phenotype e.g. roan cattle
Incomplete dominance --> Blended characteristics e.g. white and red flower gives pink

Its incomplete dominance since the phenotype is a blend. Codominance is when both phenotypes are expressed simultaneously; i.e. the cow would have red and white spots
