Question1 2.5 pt Achondroplasia is a common cause of dwarfism in humans. All individuals with achondroplasia are thought to be heterozygous at the locus that controls this trait. When two individuals with achondroplasia mate, the offspring occur in a ratio of 2 achondroplasia:1 normal. What is the most likely explanation for these observations? Achondroplasia is incompletely dominant to the normal condition. Achondroplasia is codominant to the normal condition The allele that causes achondroplasia is a dominant lethal allele. The allele that causes achondroplasia is a recessive lethal allele. The allele that causes achondroplasia is a late-onset lethal allele.

Explanation / Answer

1. Answer: Option C is correct

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is caused by a dominant allele.

Dominant homozygous is lethal.

Heterozygous condition leads to dwarf phenotype.

Parental cross: Aa X Aa

Progeny: AA Aa Aa aa

AA = Lethal

Aa = 2 = Dwarf

aa = 1 = Normal

2. Answer: Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Parental cross: BB/BO X AB

Gametes: (B) or (B) (O) X (A) (B)

Progeny: AB BB AO BO
