- A particular gene in dogs contributes to coat color. The two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance. Dogs with genotype mm have normal pigmentation; genotype Mm leads to “dilute” pigmentation; genotype MM produces an all-white dog. If a breeder mates a normal dog with a white dog, what will be the genotypes and
phenotypes of the puppies? If two Mm dogs are mated, what is the probability that a puppy will be white?

- Imagine that feather color in parrots is controlled by one gene with two alleles: "P" and "p" "P" is completely dominant and codes for green feathers "p" is recessive and codes for blue feathers If a green parrot and a blue parrot have offspring, and half of their offspring are green and half are blue, what was the genotype of the green parrot? (hint: this was a test-cross) Pp PPp PP pparrow_forwardIn dogs, the color black is dependent upon the dominant allele B and white upon the recessive allele b. If two heterozygous black dogs mate, what genotypes and phenotypes may show up in the F1 generation?arrow_forwardLabrador retrievers are commonly black, brown, or yellow. Two different genes determine coat color in Labrador retrievers. The B gene determines pigment color (B is black, bb is brown). The E gene determines whether the pigment can be deposited in the hair shaft: ee prevents any pigment from being deposited, resulting in yellow dogs. You want to breed Labrador retrievers, and you cross a true-breeding brown Labrador retriever to a true-breeding yellow Labrador retriever. All 15 of the F1 puppies are black. After the puppies grow up, you cross two of the F1 black dogs together. In the F2 generation you get 8 black puppies, 4 yellow puppies, and 3 brown puppies. Part 1 What is/are the possible genotype(s) of the true-breeding brown lab in the P generation?

Obbee Bbee BBee Could be either bbee or Bbee. O Could be either Bbee or BBee.…arrow_forward
- Incomplete Dominance and Codominance So far, we have been studying the inheritance of genes that show complete dominance. In other words, one allele is completely dominant over another. In some cases, such as incomplete dominance and codominance, one allele is not completely dominant over another or the alleles affect the phenotype equally. Examples of incomplete dominance include feather color in parrots (C*C* = blue, C'C = yellow, C*Cf = green) and hair texture in humans CC = curly; C'C' = straight; CC' = wavy Practice Problem 3: За. If a straight-haired man marries a curly haired woman, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If a parrot with yellow feathers is crossed with a parrot with green feathers, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? 3b.arrow_forwardLincoln Red cattle are entirely red. Hereford cattle have a white face. The white face is due to a dominant allele for which Hereford breed is homozygous. A farmer has a herd of Lincoln Red cows and Larry, a Lincoln Red bull. Larry was allowed to mate with cows but died of exhaustion before he had fertilized the whole herd. The farmer borrowed a neighbour’s Hereford bull called Herbert to finish Larry’s job. When the calves were born, the farmer found he could distinguish between Larry’s and Herbert’s offspring. How? He kept one of Herbert’s male offspring to replace Larry. When this bull was mated to the Lincoln Red cows, what would be the phenotypes of the calves and in what proportions?arrow_forwardIn cattle, Horned (H) is completely dominant over the hornless (h) condition. A horned bull is bred to two cows. With cow A, which is hornless, a horned calf is produced. With cow B, also hornless, a hornless calf is produced. What are the genotypes of the bull and the two cows?arrow_forward
