____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________

supports your answer.
____________________________________________________________
33.
Hitchhikers thumb is a recessive trait. Write genotypes for a person who:
Does not have hitchhiker’s thumb & can not pass the trait _______
Does not have hitchhiker’s thumb, but can pass it to children (so, this
person is a “carrier” of hitchhiker thumb trait. ________
Has hitchhiker’s thumb & can pass on the trait to offspring _______
34. In #33, circle the genotype of the person who is homozygote and does
not show the recessive hitchhiker thumb trait. ___________ Draw a
rectangle around the person whose genotype is heterozygotic dominant.
Write the genotype of the person whose phenotype is the recessive
phenotype. _______ Does this person who shows the recessive trait have
a homozygous or heterozygous phenotype? __________
35. In the animation, both the mother and father have
h___________________genotypes for hitchhiker’s thumb phenotype, and it
is (?random or predetermined?) ____________________ which of the 2
different alleles—dominant allele H or recessive allele h—either passes on.
36. What is the difference in genotypes and phenotypes of a trait, like color
in carnations, that is co-dominant versus a trait that a simple trait like
hitchhiker’s thumb. Be specific.

Run the two animations and do the two exercises. In the exercises, you will be
assigning genotypes to people whose phenotype is shown by shading.
Carriers are shown by half-colored circles.
Use the alleles H dominant or h recessive in these examples.
39. What is the genotype of a person who shows a dominant trait? _____ or
_____ For a person who does not show a dominant trait? ______
40. What is the genotype for a person who shows a recessive trait? ____For
a person who does not show a recessive trait? ______
41. If a trait is sex linked, it is coded by a gene on the _____ chromosome.
What is the genotype of a women who has a recessive sex linked disorder,
coded by the allele Xh? ______________ What is the genotype of a women
who does not have the recessive disorder coded by Xh, but who can pass
it on to her offspring? ______________ What is the genotype man who
has a recessive sex linked disorder? ____________ What is the genotype
of a man who does not have a sex linked disorder? _____________Why
do men suffer sex linked recessive disorders more often than women?

Now, examine your own family pedigrees. These are the inheritance
patterns:
Having a Widow’s peak—recessive trait
Having a hitchhiker’s thumb—recessive trait
Having dimples—a dominant trait
Having ability to curl the tongue—a dominant trait
Having curles—a dominant trait
Having attached earlobe—a recessive trait.
Chapter 14 in your text has a section on pedigrees that will help you, as well as the
website you just used.
Turn in your pedigrees with every persons possible
genotypes labeled before you leave class today.
