Chapter 2, Problem 11P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The probability of the first baby showing recessive
Introduction: The laboratory mouse is the original model organism for the research of human biology and disease. An inbred strain of mice serves a single settled genotype that can be obtained regularly as individual yet homogeneous experimental subjects with an expected phenotype, including determining allelic complement.

For the following cross, show the P generation Genotypes and the Phenotypic ratio that would be seen
in the F1 and F2. Remember, to produce the F2 generation you want to cross Heterozygotes from the
F1.
d) Genes 1 and 2 exhibit Epistasis (9:6:1) and Gene 3 is an Autosomal Dominant. In the P generation,
the Male is Homozygous Recessive for the Genes showing Epistasis.
Use E1, E2 and E3 to represent the Phenotypes shown by Epistasis.
Report your results in the following format:
P = aabb x AABB,
F1 = 100%AaBb (Phenotype), and
%3!
F2 = 9/16 A_B_ (Phenotype), 3/16 aaB (Phenotype), 3/16 A_bb (Phenotype), 1/16 aabb (Phenotype)
The individuals with a certain disease are shown in this pedigree. The disease is caused by an autosomal recessive allele, q. Give the genotype of the following individuals:
(a) III-1 (the girl at lower left corner)
(b) II-1 (the girl’s mother)
(c) II-2 (the girl’s father)
In Figure 2-19, assume that the pedigree is for mice, inwhich any chosen cross can be made. If you bred IV-1with IV-3, what is the probability that the first baby willshow the recessive phenotype?
