Tri-hybrid:
Zombie “speed” is a trait determined by the alleles F and f at the speed gene, where fast is dominant to slow. Zombie “brain eating” is a trait determined by the alleles B and b at the brain-eating gene, with eating brains recessive to not eating brains. Zombie drooling is a trait determined by the alleles D and d at the drooling gene where not drooling is recessive to drooling.
Cross: A female Zombie that is ffbbDd has offspring with a male Zombie that is FFBbdd.
What percentage of the offspring will be fast?
What percentage of the offspring will be brain eaters?
I'm having trouble with how these is set up as a punnent, and then calculating probability.

- Labrador retrievers are commonly black, brown, or yellow. Two different genes determine coat color in Labrador retrievers. The B gene determines pigment color (B is black, bb is brown). The E gene determines whether the pigment can be deposited in the hair shaft: ee prevents any pigment from being deposited, resulting in yellow dogs. You want to breed Labrador retrievers, and you cross a true-breeding brown Labrador retriever to a true-breeding yellow Labrador retriever. All 15 of the F1 puppies are black. After the puppies grow up, you cross two of the F1 black dogs together. In the F2 generation you get 8 black puppies, 4 yellow puppies, and 3 brown puppies. Part 1 What is/are the possible genotype(s) of the true-breeding brown lab in the P generation? O bbEE Brown bbee O bbEe Could be either answer bbEE or bbEe Part 2 What is/are the possible genotype(s) of the true-breeding yellow lab in the P generation? Obbee Bbee BBee Could be either bbee or Bbee.

Another dominant gene causes dwarfism (D) while normal height (d) is recessive. A father, Darren, has five fingers and is of normal height. The mother, Morgan, has 6 fingers and is also a dwarf although her mother is of normal height and has 5 fingers. What percent of the offspring will have dwarfism and have 6 fingers?arrow_forwardLincoln 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?arrow_forward
- Brown 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_forwardIn the red backed vole (a small mouse-like mammal) there are two traits under investigation. The first trait is a distinct tuft of long hairs at the tip of the tail with a tufted tail being recessive to non-tufted tail. The letter T is used to represent the tail tuft gene. The second trait is a patch of red fur on the head which is known to be recessive to the more common lack of a red patch. The letter R is used to represent this trait. A female to be used in the cross was drawn from a pure breeding line that consistently has both the red patch on the head and a tufted tail. The female is to be crossed with a male from a highly variable wild population. The male used had no red head patch and a normal (untufted) tail. The results were as follows: 7 red head patch with tail tuft, 8 no red head patch with tail tuft, 8 red head patch without tail tuft, 8 no red head patch without tail tuft. What would the results be if the male was crossed with a female that was known to be…arrow_forwardCan you curl your tongue? Tongue-curling in humans (T) is a dominant genetic trait.

- Classify each statement as true or false. The progeny of a mating between two pure-breeding plants, one with the dominant characteristic caused by S, and the other with the recessive characteristic caused by s, will yield progeny with a mix of dominant and recessive characteristics. An individual that is Ss is pure-breeding for the S gene. A mating between SS and Ss individuals will result in all pure-breeding progeny. An individual that is SS is pure-breeding for the S gene.arrow_forwardZombie “speed” is a trait determined by the alleles F and f at the speed gene, where fast is dominant to slow. Zombie “brain eating” is a trait determined by the alleles B and b at the brain-eating gene, with eating brains recessive to not eating brains. Zombie drooling is a trait determined by the alleles D and d at the drooling gene where not drooling is recessive to drooling. A female Zombie that is ffbbDd has offspring with a male Zombie that is FfBbDd. a.What is the probability that their offspring is fast?
