Task # 4 Genotypes and Phenotypes: The Mc1r gene is located on chromosome #16in mice. Mice are diploid so every somatic cell has two copies of the Mc1r gene. Sincethere are two Mc1r alleles there are three possible genotypes: MM, Mm and mm.M-dark pigment m=less pigmentParental generation: an inland mouse (MM) mates with a beach mouse (mm)A. What is the genotype of the F1 offspring?B. If this trait exhibits simple (Mendelian) dominance, circle the phenotype expected forthe F1 fur color: dark pigment / medium pigment / less pigmentObserved phenotype: F1 actually have medium pigment. Initially this looks like blending,but it is not. M and m are discrete units. This observation does not disprove Mendel'sFirst Law which holds true for the genotypes. Individuals with genotype Mm producemore pigment than individuals with genotype mm and less than individuals withgenotype MM.and show the gametes and offspringC. Write the F1 x F1 crossin a Punnett square below.XD. What genotypic and phenotypic ratios would you expect? (include the genotype orphenotype and the ratio)E. Individuals with which genotype would be most likely to hide...in dark inland ground cover?on the white sandy beach?in regions with white sand and patches of dark grass?
