Anury is the absence or abbreviation of the tail in sheep (and also other animals). it is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. a ram with anury is mated to a ewe with a normal tail. the ram's father had anury, his mother did not. what is the probability that the ram and ewe will produce a lamb with anury?

Respuesta :

the probability is 2/1 as the males seem to have anury as a common trait, meaning that it would be the dominant trait in the lamb.

Anury is a trait that causes the tail of the animal to not develop. There is a 50% probability that the ram and ewe will produce a lamb with an anury. Thus, option B is correct.

What is autosomal dominant inheritance?

Autosomal dominant inheritance is the passing of the trait from only one parent to the offspring to get the disease or the attribute. As it is known that Ram's father was anury and his mother was normal so the allelic composition of Ram will be heterozygous dominant for anury.

The cross between Ram and the normal female sheep is attached to the image below. From the cross between Aa and aa, it can be seen that 50% of offspring produced are anury.
