In some breeds of dogs, a dominant allele controls the characteristics of barking while trailing. In these dogs, another independent allele produces erect ears; it is dominant over the allele for drooping ears. Suppose a dog breeder wants to produce a pure-breeding strain of droop-eared barkers, but he knows that the genes for silent trailing and erect ears are present in his kennels, how would he proceed?

Labrador retrievers are commonly black, brown, or yellow. Two different genes determine coat color in Labrador retrievers. The B gene determines pigment color (B is black, bb is brown). The E gene determines whether the pigment can be deposited in the hair shaft: ee prevents any pigment from being deposited, resulting in yellow dogs. You want to breed Labrador retrievers, and you cross a true-breeding brown Labrador retriever to a true-breeding yellow Labrador retriever. All 15 of the F1 puppies are black. After the puppies grow up, you cross two of the F1 black dogs together. In the F2 generation you get 8 black puppies, 4 yellow puppies, and 3 brown puppies.

This pedigree (below) shows inheritance of a genetic disorder in a family. Assume the trait is rare. What is the mode of inheritance for this trait? [Select] You know this because that mode of inheritance is characterized by: [ Select] • An affected male parent passes the allele to [Select] and [Select] individuals who have the allele express it and and [Select] of his daughters. • An affected female parent passes the allele to [Select] of her daughters. ㅇㅁㅇㅁ î то ◆ of his sons of her so ?

In the rat, the pattern of coat color is affected by a gene with two alleles. PH is the allele for hooded, in which the animal is mostly white with color restricted to the shoulders and neck. P+ is the normal solid body color allele. These two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, so that heterozygotes have white bellies only. A true-breeding solid strain is crossed with a true-breeding hooded strain, to produce an F₁ generation that is all white belly. The F₁ generation rats are mated with each other to produce 800 F₂ offspring. Below is a table that gives the observed number of each phenotype in the F2 and also gives you the expected number. Question: If you perform a Chi-square goodness of fit test, what is the value of Chi square X² (Express your answer to the hundredths.) solid white belly hooded Σ Observed 195 420 185 800 Expected 200 400 200 800
