Question
In rabbits, white fur colour (W) is dominant over black fur colour (w), and upright ears (U) are dominant over floppy ears (u). The two genes are on different chromosomes. A baby rabbit is called a kit.
A heterozygous white rabbit with floppy ears mated with a black rabbit with heterozygous upright ears.
What is the probability of having a black kit with upright or floppy ears?
What is the probability of having a black kit with upright or floppy ears?
Select one:
a. 0.25
b. 0.13
c. 0.50
d. 0.06

- In pea plants, green color (G) is dominant to albino (g). If we cross two pea plants that are heterozygous for color, what would be the expected phenotype ratio of the offspring? Do the Punnett square and write the phenotypic ratio in the space belowarrow_forwardIn Labrador retrievers, two genes determine fur color: the E gene and the B gene. Black fur (B) is dominant to brown fur (b). However, the presence of (ee) will overshadow and create a puppy with yellow fur. Create a Punnett square crossing 2 Labs that are heterozygous for both genes. What are the resulting phenotypes?

Since there is no eye color gene on the Y chromosome, their eyes are white. 1/2 of the male offspring inherit a Y-chromosome from their fathers. Since there is no eye color gene on the Y chromosome, their eyes are white. All of the female offspring inherit a dominant, red-eyed allele from their mothers A 3 to 1 ratio of dominant to recessive offspring are expected in a single factor crossarrow_forward
- In Persian cats hair length can be short or long. Long hair is a recessive condition and this trait is an example of complete dominance. Assume that you cross two cats heterozygous for this trait and that 8 offspring are produced. What is the probability any 7 of the 8 could have short hair? Write the answer in the form 2!/1!1! * (3/4)^5. Do not write the actual value.arrow_forwardFour alleles determine a rabbit’s coat colour: agouti (C), chinchilla (cch), Himalayan (ch), and albino (c).

- A red-eyed (dominant) female with a grey (dominant) body is crossed with red-eyed (dominant) male with a yellow body (recessive) The pair of fruit flies (given above) produce 320 offspring together from a single mating: 57 red-eyed females with grey bodies, 61 red-eyed females with yellow bodies, 22 brown- eyed females with grey bodies, 20 brown-eyed females with yellow bodies. 59 red-eyed males with grey bodies, 63 red-eyed males with yellow bodies, 20 brown-eyed males with grey bodies, 18 brown-eyed males with yellow bodies.
