Which of the following examples would NOT be consistent with a gene dosage effect?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Males with one normal allele for the X linked gene dystrophin are unaffected, while females (who shut off one of their two X chromosomes) with one normal allele for dystrophin may be mildly affected with muscular dystrophy.
  2. Flower colour in four-o-clocks seems to be incompletely dominant.
  3. In fruit flies, homozygotes for an allele that produces a small amount of functional protein are severely abnormal but survive to adulthood, while homozygotes for an allele that produces no protein at all die as embryos.
  4. In bels Males normal are haploid while females normally are diploid

A locus determines the type of pigment produced in the squash, with yellow (Y_) dominant over green (yy). This locus is expressed only in ww plants, which lack the dominant inhibitory allele W. We can assign the genotype ww Y_ to plants that produce yellow squash and the genotype ww yy to plants that produce green squash. The genotypes and their associated phenotypes are:

The following is a hypothetical pathway responsible for the coat color in Labrador retrievers, The pathway is controlled by two independently assorting genes ‘B’ and ‘E’ encoding enzymes as shown below. Mutant alleles ‘b’ and ‘e’ code for non- functional proteins.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Insulin like growth factor in mice, where IgF+ represents tall, IgF- represent dwarf phenotype, if cross between male tall (IgF+/IgF+) with female dwarf (IgF-/IgF-) resulting progeny will shows tall phenotype , while reciprocate this cross resulting progeny  shows dwarf phenotype. If resulting these F1 progeny cross each other then what will be the ratio in F2  generation?

If a cross is made between two parental homozygous allele female Red phenotype  (RR) cross with male white phenotype (rr)  resulting F1 progeny  is all red phenotype (Rr), if reciprocate this cross the resulting progeny will be change.

a) Gene expression will be the parental origin dependent

b) uniparental gene contribution and also the expression of the gene is uniparental

c) Gene expression independent over parental origin

d) Gene contribution is biparental but the expression of the gene is uniparental

This prediction concludes that,
