Question
- Lincoln Red cattle are entirely red. Hereford cattle have a white face. The white face is due to a dominant allele for which Hereford breed is homozygous. A farmer has a herd of Lincoln Red cows and Larry, a Lincoln Red bull. Larry was allowed to mate with cows but died of exhaustion before he had fertilized the whole herd. The farmer borrowed a neighbour’s Hereford bull called Herbert to finish Larry’s job.
- When the calves were born, the farmer found he could distinguish between Larry’s and Herbert’s offspring. How?
- He kept one of Herbert’s male offspring to replace Larry. When this bull was mated to the Lincoln Red cows, what would be the
phenotypes of the calves and in what proportions?

- A horse breeder for the Kentucky Derby recently noticed that one of his female horses gave birth to an offspring, a daughter horse, that had several desirable traits to be a successful racing horse. The offspring had a well-chiseled head on a long neck, high withers, a deep chest, a short back, good depth of hindquarters, a lean body, and long legs. The farmer would like to identify which male horse is the offspring’s father for selective breeding purposes. He asks a local university to run a DNA fingerprint with DNA samples from the mother, offspring, and the four male horses on the farm.arrow_forwardA dominant gene A causes yellow color in cats. The dominant allele of another gene, R, produces black coat color. When the 2 dominants occur together (A_R_) they make grey. Cats with the genotype aarr create cream color. If a grey male and a yellow female are mated and produce 3 grey, 3 yellow, 1 cream and 1 black offspring what is the genotype of the parents. Show you my work and explain the logic behind.arrow_forwardYou are excited to be entering the world of chinchilla breeding! At the most recent chinchilla pet event you purchased a lovely grey chinchilla with large ears. You do some research and learn that Grey is dominant to white (Gg), and large ears are dominant to small (Ee). Your chinchilla breeding mentor has many combinations of chinchillas and he gives you a one-time offer to breed with any of this chinchilla! List all of the possible genotypes for your chinchilla: How could you determine which of these is the genotype of your chinchilla? How do we call this type of mating?arrow_forward
- Spoink is a Pokemon character with a spring tail. It must bounce continuously or it will die. Imagine that the spring in the tail is controlled by a single gene with two alleles T and t. Individuals with the genotype TT have very stiff tails that take a lot of energy to bounce, Tt have just the right amount of spring, and those with tt tails have very floppy tails that deform after long periods of bouncing, making it very difficult to continue bouncing. The genotype frequency in this population is: TT=25% Tt=70% tt=5% Part A: The frequency of the t allele in the population is ___%. The expected frequency of the Tt genotype in the population is ___%. Part B: Is the population of Spoink in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? A. Yes B. No Rationale? Part C: What type of selection, if at all, might be operating on Spoink tails springy-ness? A. Stabilizing Selection B. Balancing Selection C. Directional Selection D. Disruptive Selection E. No selection is occurring; population is in…arrow_forwardBody color in Drosophila is X-linked. Imagine a gene where allele E is dominant and produces gray bodies, while allele e is recessive and produces yellow bodies. If a homozygous yellow female is crossed with a grey male, the progeny would be 3 gray females : 1 yellow male O 1 gray female : 1 yellow female : 1 gray male : 1 yellow male O all females are gray and all males are yellow. 9 gray females : 3 yellow females : 3 gray males : 1 yellow malearrow_forwardBrown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. This is NOT a sex linked trait. Cross a brown eyed Color blind male (whose mother had blue eyes) with a normal blue eyed female (whose father was colorblind)arrow_forward
- Can you please not type the answer can you write it on a paperarrow_forwardIt would be nice if you can give me some explanation please Number 6arrow_forwardA backyard homesteader that wants to expand the amount of cute duck breeds. They know the f gene codes for feather coloring (black feathers (F) are dominant to white feathers (f)) while the b gene codes for feet color (grey feet (B) are dominant to orange feet (b)). The homesteader crosses a super fertile heterozygous wild-type duck that has black feathers with grey feet (FfBb) with a homozygous recessive duck with white feathers and orange feet (ffbb). This produces 100 offspring. 2. Which are parental phenotypes? (2 answers)arrow_forward
