People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele
for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue
rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter
how hard they try.
Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant
tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue
roller, then what is the probability of the offspring
inheriting the tongue rolling gene?

CONSIDER THE HOMOZYOUS DOMINANT GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-
TT AND THE HOMOZYOUS RECESSIVE GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-tt
Now when the two mates the F1 generations will be Tt(all
the offspring will br hetrozyous dominant). On selfing them
the F2 generation produced will be 75% dominant(TT and Tt)
and 25% recessive(tt).
parents TT X tt
gametes T T t t
F1 generation Tt Tt Tt Tt
on selfing Tt x Tt
gametes T t T t
F2 generation TT Tt Tt tt

CONSIDER THE HOMOZYOUS DOMINANT GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-
TT AND THE HOMOZYOUS RECESSIVE GENE FOR THE TONGUE ROLLER-tt
Now when the two get crossed the F1 generations will be
three offsprings having tongue rolling character and one
offspring will be recessive homozygous non-tongue roller in
F1 generation.
p1 parents TT X tt
gametes T T t t
F1 generation TT Tt Tt tt

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs with a frequency of about 1/2500 Caucasian newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive. A woman had an older sister die from complications of this disease. CF is not present among relatives of her husband. Both the woman and her husband have normal phenotypes. What is the chance this couple will have a CF child
