You know that hamster unicorns (Phodopus monocerus) will be the next big pet craze and are investigating their genetics. In hamster unicorns, fur color is controlled by two loci (B and P). When you cross true-breeding black hamster unicorns with true-breeding pink hamster unicorns, all F1 offspring are black. Hamster unicorns that are B_P_ and B_pp are black, bbpp are pink, and bbP_ are baby blue. What type of epistasis is this? *genetics/bio question*

In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. 9) You take an F1 male and an F1 female to generate F2 offspring. You take an F2 male with round and yellow seeds and mate them with an F2 female that has round green seeds. If these F2s produce 108 offspring, how many would be predicted to be green and wrinkled? a) 27 b) 3 c) 4 d) 7 e) 12

Here is a cat family. Back fur is created by BB or Bb. White by bb. Based on what the pedigree shows, is this trait recessive or dominant? How do you know? 6. a) b) (4 --1 per individual ) Label everyone's genotype. In some cases you may have to say there is an X probability of, for example, BB and a Y probability of Bb. Hint: these probabilities might not be in halves or fourths. c) baby? No qualifiers! (Don't say, if this certain individual was genotype X, then there is a A% probability, but if this individual was genotype Y, then there is a B% probability. (SHOW WORK) If siblings Il-1 and Il-2 mate, what is the total, overall probability that they will have a white kitten II 1 2
You are studying 2 traits, fur color and length, in rabbits. You cross a true-breeding brown, short furred rabbit with a true-breeding white, long furred rabbit. The F1 offspring are all white, short furred rabbits. You then cross an F1 offspring to a rabbit homozygous recessive for both traits. Assuming that fur color and fur length are independently assorting, what phenotypic ratio would you expect to see in the F2 generation? white, short: white, long: brown, short: brown, long
A. In corn, yellow kernels (Y) are dominant to white kernels (y). If you cross two plants with the Yy genotype, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow kernels? B.What percentage of the offspring will have the same genotype as the parent plants? C.Say you're also interested in corn plant height where tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). You want to save some time and just cross your plants once. The P1 genotypes are YyTT and YYTt. Will you get any short plants with yellow kernels from this cross? Why or why not? D. If these traits, kernel color and height were linked, how would this affect your experimental outcomes? Would you expect the laws of Mendelian genetics to still apply? Why or why not ?
In mice, black coat color (B) is dominant over brown (b), and a solid pattern (S) is dominant to white spotted (s). Color and spotting are controlled by genes that assort independently. A homozygous black spotted mouse is crossed with a homozygous brown solid mouse. All of the F1 mice are black and solid. In biology class one day you see a black solid mouse run across your desk. You and your classmates manage to trap the mouse and decide to attempt to discover it’s genotype. In order to do this you perform a testcross with a laboratory mouse. You perform the testcross and find that ½ of the offspring from the testcross are black and solid and ½ are black and spotted. What is the genotype of the classroom mouse?
In radishes, two incompletely dominant genes control color and shape. Red ( R) is dominant over white ( r), and heterozygotes are purple. Long (L) is dominant over round ( 1), and heterozygotes are oval. If a true-breeding long, red radish is crossed with a purple oval radish, give the F1 phenotypes and their percentages. O a. 25% long red, 50% long purple, 25% oval white O b. All long red O c. 25% oval red, 25% oval purple, 50% round purple O d.25% long red, 50% round purple, 25% round white O e. 25% long red, 25% long purple, 25% oval red, 25% oval purple
Pink-eye and albino are two recessive traits found in the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus. In pink-eyed mice, the eye is devoid of color and appears pink because of the blood vessels within it. Albino mice are completely lacking color, both in their fur and in their eyes. F. H. Clark crossed pink-eyed mice with albino mice; the resulting F1 had normal coloration in their fur and eyes. He then crossed these F1 mice with mice that were pink eyed and albino and obtained the following progeny. It is hard to distinguish between mice that are albino and mice that are both pink eyed and albino, so he combined these two phenotypes (F. H. Clark. 1936. Journal of Heredity 27:259–260). a. Give the expected numbers of progeny with each phenotype if the genes for pink-eye and albino assort independently. b. Use a chi-square test to determine if the observed numbers of progeny fit the number expected with independent assortment.
Pink eye and albinism are two recessive traits found in the deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. In mice with pink eye, the eye is devoid of color and appears pink from the blood vessels within it. Albino mice are completely lacking color both in their fur and in their eyes. F. H. Clark crossed pink‑eyed mice with albino mice; the resulting F1 had normal coloration in their fur and eyes. He then crossed these F1 mice with mice that were pink‑eyed and albino and obtained the mice shown in the table below. It is very hard to distinguish between mice that are albino and mice that are both pink‑eyed and albino, so he combined these two phenotypic classes (F. H. Clark, 1936, Journal of Heredity 27:259−260). Match the expected numbers of progeny with each phenotype if the genes for pink‑eye and albinism assort independently.

In roses, red petals (r) and waxy texture (wx) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits; yellow petals (r+) and soft texture (wx+). A rose homozygous for red petals and waxy texture is crossed to a rose homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have yellow petals and soft texture. The F1 are crossed with roses that have red petals and waxy texture in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are (1000 total): Yellow petals, soft texture 300 Yellow petals, waxy texture 126 Red petals, soft texture 110 Red petals, waxy texture 464 What is the genetic distance between red petals and waxy texture? a.57.4 b.76.4 c.23.6 d.30.9 e.42.6
