- ) Cats also have a locus (gene) for a character called agouti. In cats with agouti fur, pigment is unevenly distributed (see Fig. 1). The agouti allele is dominant to the allele for regular fur. A male cat who long haired and is heterozygous for agouti fur is crossed with a female who has regular, non-agouti fur and is homozygous for short fur. a) What are the genotypes of these cats? b) What are all of the possible allelic combinations in the gametes from each of these cats? c)What are all of the possible phenotypic combinations of these characters in their kittens and in what ratios?Multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow Labrador retrievers. All the F1 progeny were yellow. When these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an F2 consisting of 121 yellow, 9 black and 30 chocolate. What epistatic ratio and what kind of epistasis is approximated in the F2? Propose a biochemical pathway for coat color in Labrador retrievers based on the type of epistasis. Correlate each genotype with the phenotype that would occur in your pathway. Also show the frequency of each genotype. A-B- A-bb aaB- aabbTo determine the recombination frequency between body color and wing genes in flies, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 having red body and smooth wings with a yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. You get the following results. What is the distance between the genes for body color and wing surface in map units?
- Pigment in mouse fur is only produced when the C allele is present. Individuals of the cc genotype are white. If color is present, it may be determined by the A, a alleles. AA or Aa results in agouti color, while aa results in black coats. (a) What F1 and F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios are obtained from a cross between AACC and aacc mice? (b) In three crosses between agouti females whose genotypes were unknown and males of the aacc genotype, the following phenotypic ratios were obtained: (1) 8 agouti (2) 9 agouti (3) 4 agouti 8 white 10 black 5 black 10 white What are the genotypes of these female parents?Mouse fur color is affected by TWO unlinked loci. GG or Gg mice are agouti. Mice with genotype gg are albino since all pigment production is blocked, regardless of the phenotype at the second locus. At the other locus, the F allele (agouti coat) is dominant to the f allele (black coat). How many black mice would result from a cross between two agouti mice of genotype GgFf? (just write in the numeral)You are mapping three linked loci in Drosophila melanogaster (the common laboratory fruit fly). You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance. You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results: 359 wild-type 361 apricot, bristle, clipped 89 bristle, clipped 91 apricot 42 apricot, bristle 38 clipped 9 apricot, clipped 11 bristle Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C). Then determine if each gamete is recombinant (R) or nonrecombinant (R) for each pair of alleles (that is, for each genetic interval). Complete the table by dragging the…

A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
- You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.) Body Color Wing Surface # of Individuals red smooth 102 yellow smooth 404 red crinkled 396 yellow crinkled…Two unlinked loci effect mouse hair color. AA or Aa mice are agouti. Mice with genotype aa are albino because all pigment production and deposition of pigment in hair is blocked. At the second locus, the B allele (black agouti coat) is dominant to the b allele (brown agouti coat). A mouse with an unknown genotype is mated with an albino mouse of genotype bbaa. Half of the offspring are albino, one quarter are black agouti, and one quarter are brown agouti. What is the genotype of the unknown parent?Pigment in the mouse is produced only when the C allele is present.Individuals of the cc genotype have no color. If color is present,it may be determined by the A and a alleles. AA or Aa resultsin agouti color, whereas aa results in black coats.(a) What F1 and F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios areobtained from a cross between AACC and aacc mice?(b) In the three crosses shown here between agouti femaleswhose genotypes were unknown and males of the aaccgenotype, what are the genotypes of the female parents foreach of the following phenotypic ratios?
