You are studying a population of giraffes. In this population, one gene (G) controls spot color in giraffes, which shows incomplete dominance. Individuals with white spots are homozygous gg, individuals with brown spots are homozygous GG, and heterozygotes have orange spots (Gg). You observe 25 white-spotted giraffes, 15 orange-spotted giraffes, and 22 brown-spotted giraffes. Calculate the observed allele frequencies, using p for the frequency of allele G, and the expected number of giraffes of each phenotype assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (do not do the entire chi-square calculation!). For frequencies, report four positions after the decimal. For expected numbers, report two positions after the decimal. • p= • q = Expected number of orange-spotted = • Expected number of brown-spotted = Expected number of white-spotted =

Heterozygous Cc chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cc). The dominant C allele is lethal when homozygous. Skin color is determined by the alleles W and w. W_ chickens have white skin and ww chickens have yellow skin. In a mating between 2 chickens heterozygous for both of these genes: 1) What phenotypes will be observed in the progeny? 2) What fraction of the offspring will have each phenotype? Assign alleles. List possible phentoypes. Make gametes, draw Punnett square, and list fractions of genotypes and/or phenotypes of offspring,
The gene for flower color in snapdragons displays incomplete dominance. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for red flower color have the genotype FRFR and have red flowers. Snapdragons homozygous for the allele for white flower color have the genotype FWFW and have white flowers. Heterozygous snapdragons, with the genotype FRFW, have pink flowers. A snapdragon that has pink flowers is crossed with a different snapdragon that has pink flowers. What percentage of the offspring is expected to have red, white, and pink flowers?
A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andred eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. Theoffspring are wild-type, 721; black purple, 751; gray purple, 49;black red, 45. What is the recombination frequency betweenthese genes for body color and eye color? Using informationfrom problem 3, what fruit flies (genotypes and phenotypes)would you mate to determine the order of the body color, wingsize, and eye color genes on the chromosome?
n the Asiatic Black Bear (a normal XX:XY mammal XX: species) there are two traits under investigation. One trait is a white chest spot which can be either circular (+) or oval (ov). The second trait relates to the fur color with two phenotypes: black (+) and a reddish brown (b). A reddish brown female with a circular chest spot was crossed to a black male also with a circular chest spot. Use this information and the data below on their offspring to answer the following questions: Males: All reddish brown colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot. Females: All black colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot a) Which general type of chromosome does each trait reside on? Fur color gene ________________ Chest spot gene _________________ b) What are the genotypes of the two individuals that were crossed? c) What would the phenotypes and phenotypic ratio be if the original female was crossed with a reddish brown male with an…
For the purpose of the assignment, we will refer to XY individuals as male and XX individuals as female. In humans, colorblindness (b) is an example of an X-linked recessive trait. In this problem, a male with colorblindness XbY marries a female who is not colorblind but is a carrier of the colorblindness allele (XXb). Using a Punnett square, determine the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities (as percentages) for their potential offspring. Give the percentages in numbers, without the percent sign, for each genotype and phenotype. Genotypes XX Xxb xbxb XY xby Phenotypes Consider females (XX) individuals only. In the two questions below, I am asking for the % of females, not % of all people. What is the % of females who are not colorblind? What is the% of females who are colorblind? Now consider makes (XX) individuals only. In the two questions below, I am asking for the % of
Find the genotype of the missing parent. In Andalusian fowls, the black (B) and white (W) alleles are incompletely dominant In Andalusian fowls, black individudls (B) and white individuals (W) are homozygous.

В W BW ww W BW ww % white % black % bluish gray B. B.
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?

Hummingbirds have brightly colored feathers on their throats that are used to attract mates. Let's say these feathers come in three different colors red (R), yellow (Y) and grey (g). The red and yellow alleles are codominant when present together, and both red and yellow are dominant when paired with the recessive grey allele. (Hint - this is the same as the ABO blood groups in humans and, is not sex-linked). please show your work. a. A grey female mates with a yellow throated male and she lays 4 eggs. All of the resulting chicks have yellow-colored throats. What is the genotype of the male that fathered the chicks? b. The next year one of the female chicks from the nest above grows up and mates with a male that has both red and yellow feathers. What will be the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring, and in what proportion? Assume 4 young.
In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
