Problem #4 In cattle, coat color is controlled by two codominant alleles. One allele produces a red coat, (R), and one produces a white coat, (W). A cow with heterozygous alleles will have a roan coat. In the same breed of cattle, not having horns, (N), is completely dominant over the presence of horns, (n). What phenotypes and genotypes would be expected from a cross between a roan, horned bull and a hornless, red cow that is a carrier for the horned allele?

Problem #4
In cattle, coat color is controlled by two codominant alleles. One allele produces a red coat, (R), and one
produces a white coat, (W). A cow with heterozygous alleles will have a roan coat. In the same breed of
cattle, not having horns, (N), is completely dominant over the presence of horns, (n). What phenotypes and
genotypes would be expected from a cross between a roan, horned bull and a hornless, red cow that is a
carrier for the horned allele?

Problem #5
In an experiment with fruit flies, a student finds that when he crosses a red-eyed female fly with a red-eyed
male fly, he gets 50 females flies with red eyes, 25 male flies with red eyes, and 25 male flies with white
eyes. What type of inheritance does this show? What are the genotypes of the parents of this cross? Please
explain your answer and support your explanation with a Punnett square.
