The name of the recently proclaimed ?athletic gene? is
ACTN3. This gene, located at 11q13-q14, is responsible for
the production of alpha actinin-3 (OMIM, 2004). Actinin-3
is found in fast-twitch (type 2) muscles and is believed to
allow muscles the ability to generate a greater amount of
force at higher velocities of movement.
In words that even the most unintelligent sports fan could
understand: this gene allows you to run faster, jump
higher, and hit harder. Actinin-3 is a part of a family of
actin-binding proteins and is related to dystrophin. There
are two different genes located in the human body that are
able to produce actinin.
ACTN3 is one and the other is ACTN2. Unlike ACTN3, the
presence of ACTN2 is found universally in all skeletal
muscle, not just type 2. In all the research surrounding
ACTN3 a strong connection could not be made to show that
any dependency existed between the functions of ACTN3 and
ACTN2.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
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?
Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the phenotype associated with a particular allele?

A normally pigmented man (dominant) marries an albino woman (recessive). They have 3 children, one of whom is an albino. What is the genotype of the man?
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?

In horses coat color is dependent upon genes as follows: A_B_ results in bay, aaB_ in black, A_bb in chestnut, aabb in liver. In addition, palimino is derived by Dd with chestnut. A palimono stallion (DdAAbb) is crossed with a palimino mare (DdAAbb). What percent of the offspring will be palimino?
