Question
In hamsters, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b) and long fur (L) is dominant over short fur (l). A black, long furred female whose mother had brown fur and whose father had short fur is mated with a black, short furred male whose father had brown, long fur.
What is the probability that the first three offspring will have brown, long fur?
What is the probability that the first offspring will have black, long fur?
What is the probability that one of the first three offspring will have black, long fur and the other two brown, short fur?

- a) colored, normal mated with white, normal, produced 29 colored, normal, and 10 colored waltzers. behavior is dominant over (n) for waltzing. Pairs of mice were mated and the following results obtained. In mice, the gene (C) for colored fur is dominant over its allele (c) for white. The gene (N) for normal on separate dominant genes located on different chromosomes. Normal vision and normal bones d. man, two abnormal conditions, cataracts (C) in the eyes and excessive fragility (F) in the bones, seem to are recessive traits. A man with cataracts and normal bones, whose father had normal eyes, married a What is the genotype of the man with cataracts and normal bones? woman firee from cataracts but with fragile bones. Her father had normal bones. 1. In What type of offspring might this couple expect? Phenotypes Genotypes What is the probability that their first child will: (a) be free from both abnormalities (b) have cataracts but not fragile bones (c) have fragile bones but not…arrow_forwardPlease read the scenario below, and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. In cats, the allele (B) produces a black coat color and the allele (b) produces a yellow coat color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoise shell coat color. The alleles (B) and (b) are also sex-linked (i.e., they are carried on the X chromosome), and cats possess an XX-XY sex determination system, like humans. If a female cat with a tortoise shell coat mated with a male cat who had a yellow coat... What percentage of their offspring will have tortoise shell coats? a. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%arrow_forwardIn humans, free ear lobes (E) is dominant over attached ear lobes (e), and brown eyes (B) is dominantover blue eyes (b). A man with free ear lobes and brown eyes marries a woman with attached ear lobes andbrown eyes. Of four children, one has free ear lobes and brown eyes, one has free ear lobes and blue eyes,one has attached ear lobes and brown eyes, and one has attached ear lobes and blue eyes.

- In the species Chinchilla chinchilla, Neotropical crepuscular rodent of the parvorder Caviomorpha, a mating between a homozygous long-tailed chinchilla male and a homozygous short chinchilla female will produce all medium length tail chinchilla offspring. When these medium length tail chinchilla offspring F₁ are mated, their offspring consists of 3 tail-less chinchillas, 24 long-tailed chinchillas, 120 medium-length tailed chinchillas, and 15 short-tailed chinchillas. What genetic interaction may be occurring in this population? Please explainarrow_forwardPlease help with this questionarrow_forwardusing a Punnett square, what will the offspring look like when the parents are Bb and Bb. B = dominant black hair and b = recessive blue hair. So what percentage of the offspring will have black hair vs blue hair?arrow_forward
- A typical biological female is 46, XX, and a typical biological male is 46, XY. What do 46, XX, and 46, XY indicate?arrow_forwardA fish with red eyes and yellow scales is crossed to a pure-breeding fish with brown eyes and orange scales, resulting in offspring having red eyes and yellow scales (50%) or brown eyes and yellow scales (50%). You cross the red eye/yellow scale offspring together, and the resulting offspring are as follows. How are these traits likely inherited Number of offspring 676-yellow/red 224-red/orange 224-brown/yellow 76-brown/orangearrow_forwardFeather colour in parakeets is controlled by two genes. Blue colour (B) is dominant over absence of colour (b). Yellow colour (Y) is dominant over absence of colour (y). When a B allele and a Y allele are present, a green parakeet is produced.The probability of obtaining a female or male parakeet is the same as for humans. A green parakeet crossed with a white parakeet produced offspring with four different colour patterns.What is the genotype of the green parakeet? Answerarrow_forward
