8. In certain breeds of dogs, two different sets of alleles determine the color pattern. Black color is dominant and red color is recessive; solid color is dominant and white spotting is recessive. A homozygous black-and-white spotted male is crossed with a red-and-white spotted female. What is the probability of their producing a solid black puppy? Show your work.

4. The inheritance of coat colour in cattle controlled by multiple alleles with a dominance hierarchy as follows: S > sh > sc > s. The S allele produces a white band all over the cattle’s body known as ‘Dutch band’, the sh allele produces spots on the skin known as ‘Hereford’, the sc allele produces solid colour, and the s allele produces ‘Holstein’ spots. Homozygous ‘Dutch band’ males are cross to ‘Holstein’ females. The F1 females are crossed to ‘Hereford’ males of the shsc genotype. With the aid of genetic diagram, determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic frequencies in the F2 progeny.
7) Skin color is a complex trait and while just a few genes account for the major difference between light and dark skin color, dozens of other genes participate. Assume in this hypothetical scenario there are only two genes for skin color, A and B. Each gene exhibits incomplete dominance. AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) results in the darkest skin color and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes) results in the lightest skin color. Tomas is heterozygous for both genes; his partner, Helga, is heterozygous for the A gene and homozygous recessive for the B gene. Construct a Punnett Square showing the cross of this couple. What are the expected genotypes and phenotypes of the children this couple could have?
1. Two normal visioned parents have a color-blind son. Give the genotype of both parents and the son. 2. In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) produces a yellow color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell color. The alleles (B) and (b) are sex-linked as well. Cross a tortoise shell female with a yellow male. a. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? b. What percent of their offspring will be black? c. What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell? d. Why is it impossible to have a tortoise shell male offspring?
2 (a) The trait of hen- versus cock-feathering is a sex-limited trait controlled by a single gene. HH and Hh males always exhibit the hen-featuring trait. Only hh males show the cock-feathering trait. Starting with two heterozygous fowls that are hen- feathered, describe how you would obtain a true-breeding line that always produces cock-feathered males. [Ciri berhulu avam hatin
3. Black coat (B) color in Cocker Spaniels is dominant, while red coat (b) color is recessive; solid pattern (S) is dominant, while spotted (s) pattern is recessive. Create a Punnett square that shows all of the possible offspring of a solid black male (BBSs) mated to a solid red female (bbSs). Include the percentage/ratio of occurrence for each phenotype. Include the percentage/ratio of occurrence for each phenotype.
1. Chinchillas are small, furry South American rodents. They were originally brought to the United States from Chile in 1918 and raised for their fur, and have become increasingly popular as cage pets. They come in a variety of colors, but the most common is gray. In chinchillas, gray fur is dominant to violet. If one parent is gray HETEROZYGOUS, and the other is violet, what is the probability in their offspring of: being homozygous dominant? ________% being heterozygous? ________% being homozygous recessive? ________% having violet fur? ________% 2. Trixie, a former cheerleader, just had a child. She isn't sure who the father is. Carrie is blood type A and the baby is type AB. Use your knowledge of genetics to help Trixie, and indicate whether each of the following men COULD be the father. If he could be the father, put down Yes. If not, just say No, which is perhaps what Trixie should have done. #9, the quarterback, who is type A homozygous ______ #10, the…
3. In cats, agouti coat (uneven colored fur) is dominant to a solid coat. Brown coat color is dominant to chocolate color coat. Solid brown fur Agouti fur Solid fur Chocolate colored fur pattern pattern An agouti cat http://www.eurocatfancy.de/en1/nav/cat-genetics/dominance_of_genes.html Cross a cat that is heterozygous agouti and chocolate colored with a cat with a solid coat and is heterozygous brown. a. What percentage of the offspring is agouti and brown? b. What percentage of the offspring is solid and chocolate?
5. a. Black coat color in Cocker Spaniels is governed by a dominant allele (B) and red coat color (b) by a recessive allele. Solid pattern (S) is governed by the dominant allele of a different gene and spotted pattern (s) is recessive. A solid black male is mated with a solid red female which produces a litter of 6 pups- 2 solid black, 2 solid red, one black and white (spotted) and one red and white (spotted). Determine the genotypes of the parents. Show your work and/or explain your logic. b. A dominant gene A causes yellow color in rats. The dominant allele of another gene, R, produces black coat color. When the two dominants occur together (A_R_), they interact to produce grey. Rats with the genotype aarr are cream-colored. If a grey male and a yellow female are mated and produce 3 grey, 3 yellow, 1 cream and 1 black offspring, Determine the genotypes of the parents. Show your work and/or explain your logic. C. One gene for coat color in cats is sex-linked (X chromosome). The…
Part B 1. For the remaining characteristics, you will be looking at homozygous and heterozygous traits. Each trait will be determined to be homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, or hetero- zygous. Letters representing the alleles will be given to you; the uppercase letter is always dominant and the lowercase letter is always recessive. If both dice rolled are even numbers, it indicates homozygous dominant alleles; if both are odd, it indicates homozygous recessive alleles; if one is odd and the other even, it indicates heterozygous alleles. 2. Eyebrows: Use the alleles "A" and "a" for this trait. Two separate brows are the dominant trait, whereas the unibrow (or one continuous brow) is recessive. 3. Eye shape: Use the alleles "R" and "r" for this trait. Round eyes are the dominant trait; almond shaped eyes are recessive. 4. Hitchhiker's thumb: Use the alleles "H" and "h" for this trait. Straight thumbs are dominant; Hitchhiker's thumbs (the curving upward of the thumb) are…
4. The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). A red wattle (HR) is incompletely dominant with a white wattle (HW) so that an individual with HRHW will have a pink wattle. A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of the chicks?
1. In pea plants, yellow color (Y) is dominant over green color (y). A yellow-colored pea plant is crossed with a green-colored pea plant. Half of their offspring is yellow-colored while the other half is green-colored.What is the genotype of the yellow-colored parent? YY O Yy yy The genotype cannot be determined. 2.

Kingdom Animalia Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Protista 3. Which statement about ferns is TRUE? Ferns are unicellular organisms. Ferns are nonvascular plants. O Ferns have spores as reproductive structures. Ferns are capable of secondary growth.
2. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes in humans. Having a peaked hairline is dominant over having a smooth hairline in humans. Two such humans decide to have offspring – who will also be human, because you know – genes. One of the parents has blue eyes and is heterozygous for a peaked hairline. The other parent is brown-eyed with a peaked hairline but is heterozygous for both traits. a) Complete a Punnett square showing all possible genotypes of their offspring. b) What is the probability of this couple producing a child with blue eyes? c) What is the probability of producing a child who has both brown eyes and a smooth hairline?
