In Manx cats, the recessive allele for tail length is lethal. A heterozygous dominant genotype results in a shortened tail, while a homozygous dominant genotype results in a normal tail. A homozygous recessive genotype is lethal.
Which of the following rows correctly identifies thephenotypic ratio of the offspring that results from crossing two shortened tail Manx cats?

- In seals, long whiskers (W) are dominant over short whiskers (w). What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring produced by mating a seal that is homozygous recessive with one that is heterozygous?arrow_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_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_forward
- Three different genes determine the coat colour of cats. One of the genes controls the black-based coat colour. There are three alleles for black-based coat colour genes with the following order of dominance: black (B) > chocolate (bch) > cinnamon (bc). Two black cats were crossed. The offspring produced were three black kittens and one chocolate kitten. What is the probability of having a male chocolate kitten? Select one: a. 0.50 b. 0.25 c. 0.13 d. 0.06arrow_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_forwardA cross is performed between individuals with the following genotypes: Aabb and aaBb. Use a Punnett square and predicted probabilities to answer the following questions. A. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for the first trait and recessive for the second? B. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for both traits? C. What is the probability that two offspring are dominant for both traits?arrow_forward
- Consider 2 loci in Angus cattle: One locus for coat colour G allele = Black is dominant over g allele = Red, and another locus for absence of horn W allele = Polled/Hornless is dominant over w allele = Horned. Use Punnett Square method to predict the genotype of the offspring of the following crossings: a) What type of crossing would produce the phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1? b) What type of crossing would produce the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 ?arrow_forwardWhat would the genotypes and genotypic ratio be for the F2 generation produced in a phenotype and phenotypic ration of F1 individuals that were produced from a male blue tailed gecko crossed with a female green tailed gecko, being that all 28 of the offspring had green tails, were mated brother and sister?arrow_forwardplease answer the following questionarrow_forward
- A scientist is investigating the inheritance of two autosomal recessive genes in rat, ear length (long is dominant to short) and fur color (gray is dominant to white). The table below provides the number of observed off-spring for each phenotype, when heterozygous rats are crossed. What are the expected values for each phenotype? Phenotype Observed Expected Long, gray 189 Long, white 56 Short, gray 74 Short, white 23 Total 342arrow_forwardIn swallowtail butterflies, let's pretend that the R gene codes for coloring on the forewing.
