- When geneticists have an organism that displays the dominant trait but do not know the genotype, a test cross can be performed to help determine this. A test cross is performed by mating a _________________ with the organism and looking at the physical traits of the offspring.arrow_forward1. A purebred dog with brown fur and brown eyes is mated with a pure breed dog with white fur and blue eyes (note: this is hypothetical). All the F1 progeny are brown fur with brown eyes.

- ________ -dominance is a melting or a blending of phenotypesarrow_forwardA roan bull is crossed to a white cow. The first 2 offspring turned out to be roan and white calves. Roan is a color obtained when cattle are heterozygous for the gene for red and white hairs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the roan bull. ___________ Identify the genotype of the white cow.___________ Give the genotypic ratio. ___________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________ Show the Punnett squarearrow_forwardSuggest a reason why a typical punnett square prediction for a heterozygous cross might be accurate in this case.arrow_forward
- A cross between a yellow rat with a yellow rat always produce yellow offspring. crosses between a white rat with a white rat always produce white offspring. the alleles affect the same aspect of coat color. the cross of a white rat with a yellow rat produces a cream rat. this type of inheritance pattern is called _______________?arrow_forwardThe ABO blood system has been used to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as a geneticist, you must testify during a case in which the mother has type A blood, the child has type O blood, and the alleged father has type B blood. How would you respond to the following statements? a. Mans attorney: The mother has type A blood, so the childs type O blood must have come from the father. Because my client has type B blood, he could not be the father. b. Mothers attorney: Further tests prove this man is heterozygous, so he must be the father.arrow_forwardMale-pattern baldness is sex-linked and recessive. A carrier female has a child with a normal male. Give the genotype and phenotype ratios for their offspring.arrow_forward
