Two black mice were mated and produced 12 black and 4 white offspring. Explain these results, giving the genotypes of parents and progeny.
A yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male. Half of the puppies were brown, and half were yellow.
Explain how the same female, when mated with a different brown male, could produce only brown offspring.
The first male was bb EE, and the second male was bb Ee.
The first male was Bb EE, and the second male was Bb Ee.
The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE.
The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was Bb Ee.
The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb ee.
In certain salamanders, the sex of a genetic female can be altered, changing her into a functional male; these salamanders are called sex reversed males. When a sex-reversed male is mated with a normal female, approximately 23 of the offspring are female and 13 are male. How is sex determined in these salamanders? Explain the results of this cross

Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly. Question is also in the picture.arrow_forward
