In horses coat color shows incomplete dominance: the alleles are chestnut color (Hc) and cremello (Hcr); heterozygous individuals have the phenotype palamino. What are the predicted phenotypes from a cross between a palamino and cremello colored horses? What are the genotypes?

1. What is the difference between genotype and phenotype? 2. A black guinea pig is mated to a white guinea pig, and they produce 12 black offspring. Then, the same white guinea pig is mated to a different black guinea pig, and they produce 7 black and 5 white offspring. What is the best explanation for the difference between these two matings? In your answer, you must include the genotypes for the parents and offspring of each cross. 3. In 1981, a stray black cat with unusual curled-back ears was adopted by a family in California. Suppose you were the person who owned the first “curl” cat, and wanted to develop it into its own breed. How would you determine whether the allele for curled ears is dominant or recessive? Why does it make a difference for breeders whether an allele for a trait is dominant or recessive?

I. In an exotic Peruvian plant, burgundy flowers (B) are dominant to pink flowers (b), green stalks (G) are dominant to yellow (g) and hairy leaves (H) are dominant to smooth leaves (h). What is the probability that the following pair of parents will produce the indicated offspring? Parent 1 = BbGgHh x Parent 2 = BBGghh -> Offspring = BBgghh Punnett squares for each individual trait can help you with this: 000 Parent 1 Parent 2 Probability= (BB) What is the phenotype of BBgghh? Which of the following options are gametes that Parent 1 can produce? Circle the correct one(s). hh BGH Bgh Bb bGh BgH Gg bGH BbGghh (gg) X (hh)

V. Two Gene Pairs (Extra Credit) 1... A. In peas, the allele for tall plants (T) is dominant over the allele for short plants (t). The allele for smooth peas (S) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (s). Use this information to cross the following parents. I 1. heterozygous tall and smooth X heterozygous tall and smooth 2. heterozygous tall, wrinkled X short, wrinkled AL.
