Question
Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a flecked
appearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a total
of 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,
and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test your
hypotheses?

- What are result of dihybrid cross where the two parent different in two pair of constrastig traits?arrow_forwardOn a fox ranch in Wisconsin, a mutation arose that gavea “platinum” coat color. The platinum color proved verypopular with buyers of fox coats, but the breeders couldnot develop a pure-breeding platinum strain. Every timetwo platinums were crossed, some normal foxes appeared in the progeny. For example, the repeated matings of the same pair of platinums produced 82 platinumand 38 normal progeny. All other such matings gavesimilar progeny ratios. State a concise genetic hypothesisthat accounts for these results.arrow_forwardA rooster with a particular comb morphology calledwalnut was crossed to a hen with a type of comb morphology known as single. The F1 progeny all had walnut combs. When F1 males and females were crossedto each other, 93 walnut and 11 single combs wereseen among the F2 progeny, but there were also29 birds with a new kind of comb called rose and32 birds with another new comb type called pea.a. Explain how comb morphology is inherited.b. What progeny would result from crossing a homozygous rose-combed hen with a homozygouspea-combed rooster? What phenotypes and ratioswould be seen in the F2 progeny?c. A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a peahen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut,11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are thelikely genotypes of the parents?d. A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rosehen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are thepossible genotypes of the parents?arrow_forward
- Labrador retrievers may be black, brown, or golden in color (seethe chapter opening photograph on p. 53). Although each colormay breed true, many different outcomes occur if numerous littersare examined from a variety of matings, where the parentsare not necessarily true-breeding. The following results showsome of the possibilities. Propose a mode of inheritance that isconsistent with these data, and indicate the corresponding genotypesof the parents in each mating. Indicate as well the genotypesof dogs that breed true for each color.(a) black * brown ¡ all black(b) black * brown ¡ 1/2 black1/2 brown(c) black * brown ¡ 3/4 black1/4 golden(d) black * golden ¡ all black(e) black * golden ¡ 4/8 golden3/8 black1/8 brown(f) black * golden ¡ 2/4 golden1/4 black1/4 brown(g) brown * brown ¡ 3/4 brown1/4 golden(h) black * black ¡ 9/16 black4/16 golden3/16 brownarrow_forwardStudies have indicated that for pairs of twins raised inthe same family, the environmental similarity formonozygotic (MZ) twins is not significantly differentfrom the environmental similarity for fraternal (dizygotic or DZ) twins.

- Why are the types of offspring described in part Fig1(a) more numerous than those described in Fig 1(b)?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila flies, the allele b gives a black body, and the allele b+ gives brown, the wild-typephenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings, and wx+ gives non-waxy. The allele cn ofa third gene gives cinnabar eyes, and cn+ gives red. A female heterozygous for these three genes istestcrossed, and 745 progenies are produced which are phenotypically classified as follows:5 b+ wx+ cn+4 b wx cn53 b+ wx cn 49 b wx+ cn+287 b+ wx+ cn279 b wx cn+ 33 b+ wx cn+35 b wx+ cn Make a linkage map of the three genes.
