Please help I have one attempt remaining and I just keep getting
a lower score
We are trying to determine the possible modes of inheritance for
some particular human disorder. We have a very small pedigree for
this disorder. Assuming the pedigree is accurate, indicate which of
the six modes of inheritance are consistent with this pedigree:

Select one or more:
X-Linked Recessive
X-Linked Dominant
Autosomal Recessive
Cytoplasmic
Autosomal Dominant
Y Linked
Refer to the pedigree below for this question. Individuals who
are shaded have the autosomal recessive disorder. Since it is a
rare disorder, assume that anyone entering the pedigree (someone
whose parents are not in the pedigree) is homozygous, unless there
is evidence to the contrary. Those who are not shaded show the
dominant phenotype. Let A and a represent the dominant and
recessive alleles, respectively. Fill in the table below to
indicate the genotype or probability function for the genotype of
each individual. Give all probabilities as fractions that are
simplified to the lowest value. Type your fractions in #/# format
without spaces. For example, one-half should be entered as 1/2.
Failure to correctly follow these directions will result in your
answer being marked as incorrect.

Fill in the table below to indicate the genotype or the genotype
probability of the individual. Two are completed as examples.
| Individual | Genotype Probability Formula |

| I-2 | 0 AA | + | 1 Aa | + | 0 aa | |
| I-4 | AnswerAA | + | AnswerAa | + | Answeraa | |
| II-2 | AnswerAA | + | AnswerAa | + | Answeraa | |

| III-1 | AnswerAA | + | AnswerAa | + | Answeraa | |
| IV-1 | AnswerAA | + | AnswerAa | + | Answeraa | |
Give all probabilities as fractions that are simplified to the
lowest value. Type your fractions in #/# format without spaces.
Suppose that III-1 and III-2 have a child. What is the
probability that their first child is genotype Aa? Answer

We are interested in determining whether leaf traits for the
Totavi ash follow a common epistatic relationship. The observed
phenotypes are opposite leaves and alternate leaves. Which mode of
inheritance would most likely explain the data below?
| Phenotype | |
| Opposite | 68 |
| Alternate | 95 |
| Total | 163 |
Select one:
duplicate genes with cumulative effect
dominant/recessive epistasis
duplicate recessive epistasis
duplicate dominant epistasis
single recessive epistasis
single dominant epistasis
Two autosomal genes control horn color in dragons. Pure-breeding
gold-horned dragons were mated to pure-breeding silver-horned
dragons. All of the F1 were gold. The F1 were intermated and the F2
generation consisted of 138 gold, 16 silver and 96 bronze.
Choose the genetically based phenotypic ratio that should be
hypothesized to explain the F2 data.
