In mice, black fur (B) is dominant to white (b). At a different locus, a dominant allele (A) produces a band of yellow just below the tip of each hair in mice with black fur. This gives a frosted appearance known as agouti. Expression of the recessive allele (a) results in a solid coat color. If mice that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what is the expected

In mice, black color (B) is dominant to white (b). On different homologous chromosomes, a dominant allele (A) produces a band of yellow just below the tip of each hair in mice with black fur. This gives a frosted appearance known as agouti. Expression of the recessive allele (a) results in a solid coat color. If mice that are heterozygous at both locations are crossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of their offspring? Use the rules of probability instead of a huge Punnett square.
Mouse fur color is affected by TWO unlinked loci. GG or Gg mice are agouti. Mice with genotype gg are albino since all pigment production is blocked, regardless of the phenotype at the second locus. At the other locus, the F allele (agouti coat) is dominant to the f allele (black coat). How many black mice would result from a cross between two agouti mice of genotype GgFf? (just write in the numeral)
The production of purple pigment in a certain species of flower is dependent upon two gene loci. You cross two purple flowered plants that are heterozygous at each gene locus. The offspring show the following phenotypes: 91 purple and 68 white.a. What is the simplified phenotypic ratio is observed in the offspring? What mode of inheritance is associated with this ratio?
b. What is/are the genotype(s) of the purple offspring? What is/are the genotype(s) of the white offspring?

- 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?arrow_forwardIn rats, hair color is either gray (G), black (g), or white. The white color is produced due to an epistatic recessive allele of gene "a". In other words, in order for the black or gray color to show up, the rat must have at least one dominant (A) epistatic allele. Two heterozygous Gray rats are crossed. Both rats are also heterozygous for the epistatic gene. Predict the probability that an offspring of this cross will: a. Express the gray phenotype b. Express the black phenotype c.

- In the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of 4 alleles: C (full color), ck (sepia), cd (cream), or ca (albino). The order of dominance is C > ck > cd > ca. A sepia pig was crossed with a cream pig, where the sepia pig had 2 full-color parents & the cream pig had 2 sepia parents. One of the piglets from this cross was albino. What phenotypic ratio is expected from this cross? A) All sepia piglets B) 1/2 full color : 1/4 sepia : 1/4 cream piglets C) 1/2 cream : 1/2 albino piglets D) 1/2 sepia : 1/4 cream : 1/4 albino piglets E) 3/4 sepia & 1/4 cream piglets F) All cream piglets G) 1/2 sepia : 1/2 cream pigletsarrow_forwardIn birds, wingspan is determined by two genes, one with complete dominance of one allele over the other, one with additive effects. Birds with genotype aabb has 16 cm long wingspan, whereas those with AABB has 20 cm long wingspan. A cross between AABB and aabb parents produced F1 with 19cm wingspan. Crossing the F1s produced F2 with the following phenotypes (in cm): NOTE: In a normal distribution of values, 68% of them will fall within the range of the mean less one standard deviation and the mean plus one standard deviation.

- In certain breeds of chicken, the appearance of the comb (a fleshy growth or crest on the top of the head of gallinaceous birds, such as turkeys, pheasants, and domestic chickens) is controlled by a single pair of genes. One type of comb, the pea comb, is dominant over a single comb. You own a rooster with a single comb. M a. What is the genotype of your rooster? b. Suppose you cross your rooster is crossed your neighbor's pea- combed hen. The brood of 13 eggs that is produced hatches to Single reveal 5 have single combs and 7 have pea combs.

One gene which codes for coat colour has 2 codominant alleles for Brown and White colour coat. The heterozygous form exhibits a tan colour. The second gene codes for presence of hair with hairy (dominant) and hairless (recessive). If the female has tan hairless coat and the male has brown colour and is heterozygous for haired coat, what are the probabilities of the different offsprings they may have?arrow_forwardIn 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 theyarrow_forward
