Background and/or Instructions
Problem N° 9
Objective: To apply the concept of
codominance in the prediction of horse coat
color.
In codominance, both alleles are expressed;
both gene products are measurable or
visible as an additional phenotype that is
neither dominant nor recessive nor
intermediate. In incomplete (partial)
dominance an intermediate trait is
produced.
Cremello:
Palomino:
Chestnut:
almost white
golden with lighter mane and tail
reddish brown
Coat color of horses is a very complex trait.
The colors cremello, chestnut and palomino
can be explained using a codominant model
The following table gives ratios obtained in matings of the above horse (Equus caballus) varieties:

of inheritance and are known to be
cremello x cremello
all cremello
determined by alleles at a single locus in
horses.
chestnut x chestnut
all chestnut
For this problem, use the genotypes:
II
cremello x chestnut
all palomino
C'C' = cremello
C'C? = chestnut
IV
palomino x palomino
% chestnut
% palomino
% cremello
c'c' = palomino.
a. If cross IV (palomino X palomino) is represented by C'C² x c'C², what are the genotypic proportions of
the offspring?
Locus = is the physical position of an allele
on a chromosome (plural loci). As the
position of a gene (or allelic form of one),
the concept of locus becomes important
when mapping chromosomes, i.e., locating
the positions of loci.
b. Cross I (remello x chestnut) can be represented by C'C* x C°C², what is the genotype of the palomino
offspring?
Although mass sequencing projects may
have obviated the need for chromosome
mapping, the association (linkage) between
or among alleles led to important
discoveries and applications in genetics.
c. Why do crosses I (cremello X cremello) and II (chesnut X chesnut) produce all cremello and all chestnut,
respectively, if cremello X chestnut produces all palomino?
