n mice, the Ay allele of the agouti gene is recessive lethal, but it is dominant to wild type for yellow coat color. For an unlinked gene called C, cc makes no pigment and are albino while C_ mice will make pigment in in their coat. cc is epistatic to A or AY with regard to coat color, but not for viability. What phenotypic ratio would you expect from the progeny produced by two mice of the genotype: AAy Cc? (Note that “agouti” is the wild-type coat color.) 9 agouti : 3 black : 3 white : 1 yellow 3 agouti : 6 yellow : 3 white 12 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown 9 agouti : 3 yellow : 4 white 8 yellow : 3 black: 1 brown

Heterozygous Cc chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cc). The dominant C allele is lethal when homozygous. Skin color is determined by the alleles W and w. W_ chickens have white skin and ww chickens have yellow skin.

List possible phentoypes. Make gametes, draw Punnett square, and list fractions of genotypes and/or phenotypes of offspring,

Miniature wings in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele (Xm) that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X+). Sepia eyes are produced by an autosomal allele (s) that is recessive to an allele for red eyes (s+). Q. A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes. The F1 flies are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the phenotypes, as well as their expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 flies.

Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition where little or no melanin pigment is produced. Awoman (call her W) had an affected brother (B). This woman's daughter (M) is planning to have achild. The intended father (F) in this mating had a sister (S) who has albinism. W's father is red-green color blind (an X-linked recessive disorder). F's father is also red-green color blind. All other family members have normal vision. Re-draw the pedigree of thisfamily to include this extra information. Use defined symbols to indicate genotypes. g. Determine the probability that F will pass on red-green color blindness to his future children.h.
