In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. Cats homozygous for the long tail allele (T) have long tails and cats homozygous for the short tail allele (t) have no tails. Heterozygous cats have short tails. Draw a Punnett square for a mating between a short tail cat and a cat with no tail. According to your Punnett square, what is the percent chance that they would have a kitten with no tail? A)0% B)25% C)50% D)75% E)100%

The gene for flower color in snapdragons displays incomplete dominance. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for red flower color have the genotype FRFR and have red flowers. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for white flower color have the genotype FWFW and have white flowers. Heterozygous snapdragons, with the genotype FRFW, have pink flowers. A snapdragon that has pink flowers is crossed with a different snapdragon that has pink flowers. What percentage of the offspring is expected to have red, white, and pink flowers?
In cats, the locus for orange coat color is sex linked. Male cats that are black have the o+ allele, whereas those that are orange have the o allele. Females can be homozygous for the orange allele or homozygous for the black allele and will express each color, respectively. Heterozygous females are tortoise-shelled or calico, having orange and black patches. A calico cat, in addition to being heterozygous at the orange locus, also is either heterozygous or homozygous for the incompletely dominant, autosomal spotting allele (SS = large spots, Ss = small spots, ss = no spots). Manx tails are caused by a dominant trait that is lethal when homozygous. Long tails are the result of a homozygous recessive genotype. An orange male with small white spots and a manx tail is crossed to a calico female with small white spots and a manx tail. What is the probability of observing a solid black female with no spots and long tail? (Hint: All calico cats are female!)
In cats, white patches are caused by the dominant allele P while p/p individuals are solid colored. Short hair is caused by the dominant allele S, while s/s cats have long hair. A longhaired cat with patches whose mother was solid-colored and shorthaired mates with a shorthaired, solid-colored cat whose mother was longhaired and solid-colored. What kinds of kittens can arise from this mating and in what proportions? Outline the cross and assign genotypes, phenotypes, and proportions in the space below. Plong hair, white patchesxshort hair, solid colored s/s ; P/pS/s ; p/p F1 progeny: 1/4 s/s ; P/plong hair, white patches 1/4 s/s ; p/plong hair, solid colored 1/4 S/s ; P/pshort hair, white patches 1/4 S/s ; p/pshort hair, solid colored
Hair length is incompletely dominant in Chihuahuas. If a homozygous long-haired Chi mates with a homozygous short-haired Chi, their heterozygous offspring have medium-length hair. If two heterozygous Chihuahuas mate, what is the probability that their pups will have long hair, medium hair, or short hair? L = long hair allele l = short hair allele
In some dogs, barking when trailing a scent is a dominant trait. Others dogs do not bark while trailing a scent. Erect ears are dominant to drooping eats. What is the phenotypic ratio of F1 when a heterozygous erect eared silent trailer is crossed with a droopy eared barker whose mother is silent
In cats, curled ears result from an allele (Cu) that is dominant over an allele (cu) for normal ears. Black color results from an independently assorting allele (G) that is dominant over an allele for gray (g). A gray cat homozygous for curled ears is mated with a homozygous black cat with normal ears. All the F1 cats are black and have curled ears. Q. If two of the F1 cats mate, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the F2?
A particular gene in dogs contributes to coat color. The two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance. Dogs with genotype mm have normal pigmentation; genotype Mm leads to “dilute” pigmentation; genotype MM produces an all-white dog. If a breeder mates a normal dog with a white dog, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the puppies? If two Mm dogs are mated, what is the probability that a puppy will be white?
In Andalusian chickens, feather côlor is inherited by incomplete dominance. If one parent with black feathers (BB) is crossed with a white feathered parent (WW), all of the offspring will have blue feathers (BW). What is the probability of producing blue feathered offspring when crossing a blue-feathered hen with a white feathered rooster? * 50% 100% 25% 75%
If a monster homozygous for purple eyed spiky fur mates with a heterozygous monster with green eyes and feathery fur, what is the probability of the parent monsters having offspring with purple eyes and spiky fur? (Same as before, gree and feathery are dominant) 100 % 75% 50% 25%
Eye color is a heritable trait in ground squirrels. Green eyes (G) are dominant and yellow eyes (g) are recessive. You mate a heterozygous female with a homozygous recessive male. What is the genotypic ratio of their offspring? Group of answer choices 1 GG : 2 Gg : 1 gg. 2 GG : 1 Gg : 1 gg. 1 Gg : 3 gg. 2 Gg : 2 gg.

Their daughter Jean has straight hair. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios for their offspring? SW> Sc> Swa> S
Feather 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? ** select one option from picture
