Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces.

Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question.

- A- Using a Punnett Square show a cross between a homozygous red fox with a homozygous white fox. Let red be dominant. Give the genotype and phenotype for F1 and F2 generations. B- Using a Punnett Square show the cross between a heterozygous gray skunk with a homozygous white skunk. Let gray be dominant. Give the genotype and phenotype for F1.arrow_forwardBlood types in humans are caused by a combination of two of three possible alleles - IA, IB, and i. The i allele is recessive and individuals homozygous for this allele have blood types O. Blood type A may be due to either homozygous condition or the IA i Blood type AB is caused by having a copy of both the IA and IB alleles. Rh factor is another “marker” on human red blood cells and is either positive (dominant—RR or Rr) or negative (recessive—rr). Franks has blood type A-negative. Frank’s father is B-positive and his mother is AB-positive. Frank marries Susan, a woman that is B-positive. Susan’s mother is A-negative and her father is AB-positive.

- Based on the information shown in the chart above, what is the most likely inheritance pattern for the 'forked bristles' trait? why?arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in whether a disease gene is linked to an RFLP marker. A cross is made between pure breeding blind cavefish and pure breeding sighted cavefish. The lines are pure breeding. The resulting RFLP markers of the F1 offspring and the F2 (from an F1XF1 cross) offspring are shown. If the disease gene is 10 m.u. from the RFLP marker, what proportion of the F2 will have the gel pattern shown above AND be blind?
