Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse. What percentage of the offspring will be black-furred with long whiskers?
Assume that coat texture and coat color in domestic dogs are two different traits that are controlled by independently-assorting genes. Straight coat texture (S) is dominant to curly coat texture (s), and a black coat color (B) is dominant to a brown coat color (b).

In a different population of mice in New Mexico, coat coloration is influenced by a single gene called MC2R that only has two possible alleles (B and b). Suppose two tan mice mate. They produce 5 offspring: 1 is dark brown, 1 is white, and 3 are tan. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this cross? A. At this genetic locus these alleles display incomplete dominance. Heterozygous individuals are tan, and homozygous individuals are either white or dark brown. B. At this genetic locus these alleles display incomplete dominance. Homozygous individuals are tan, and heterozygous individuals are either white or dark brown. C. The tan parents had different genotypes -- one was BB, and the other was bb. When they mated they produced BB (dark brown), Bb (tan) and bb (white) offspring. D. The tan parents had different genotypes mated they produced Bb (dark brown), BB (tan) and bb (white) offspring. -- one was BB, and the other was bb. When they
Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
Two unlinked loci effect mouse hair color. AA or Aa mice are agouti. Mice with genotype aa are albino because all pigment production and deposition of pigment in hair is blocked. At the second locus, the B allele (black agouti coat) is dominant to the b allele (brown agouti coat). A mouse with an unknown genotype is mated with an albino mouse of genotype bbaa. Half of the offspring are albino, one quarter are black agouti, and one quarter are brown agouti. What is the genotype of the unknown parent?
In rabbits, the gene for fur color is multiallelic. Agouti (C) is dominant to chinchilla (Cch), chinchillas is dominant to himalaya (Ch), and himalaya is dominant to albino (c). Determine the genotypes of each corresponding phenotypes. Please show the solution.
In griffins, coat colour is determined by a single gene with a completely dominant black (B) allele and a recessive white allele (b). Beak shape is determined by a single gene with a completely dominant sharp beak allele (R) and a recessive round beak allele (r). The colour and beak genes are linked by 25 cM(= centimorgans = map units). If a female heterozygous at both loci has the dominant alleles linked in cis, she will produce gametes that have what genotypes in what ratios? Explain your answer.
A mutant allele in persons with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) causes death due to a lack of liver receptors for LDL. Susceptible persons have half the normal number of receptors, while other individuals have the normal number of receptors. In a phenotypically normal couple, the man had a female 1 cousin (on his father’s side) who died from FH; the woman had a maternal uncle with FH. a. Calculate the probability that neither of the couple might be susceptible. b. Calculate the probability that one of them might be susceptible, but the other is not. c. Calculate the probability that they will have an FH child if a test discloses that both of them are susceptible.
