A horse breeder for the Kentucky Derby recently noticed that one of his  female horses gave birth to an offspring, a daughter horse, that had  several desirable traits to be a successful racing horse. The offspring had  a well-chiseled head on a long neck, high withers, a deep chest, a short  back, good depth of hindquarters, a lean body, and long legs. The farmer  would like to identify which male horse is the offspring’s father for  selective breeding purposes. He asks a local university to run a DNA  fingerprint with DNA samples from the mother, offspring, and the four  male horses on the farm.
In shorthorn cattle, a roan cow mated with a roan bull always produces red, white, and roan claves in the ration of one red: two roan: one white.  (Roan is produced by an even mixture of red and white hairs).  If a breeder of shorthorn cattle has cows which are white and a bull which is roan: What proportion of the claves produced in his herd will be white? What proportion of the calves produced in his herd will be roan? What proportion of the calves produced in his herd will be red? Starting with a roan bull and white cows, as explained above, could you eventually establish a true-breeder red herd? Explain.
In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant over yellow, two-loculed fruit is dominant over many-loculed fruit, and tallvine is dominant over dwarf. A breeder has two purelines: (1) red, two-loculed, dwarf and (2) yellow, manyloculed, tall. From these two lines, he wants to produce anew pure line for trade that is yellow, two-loculed, andtall. How exactly should he go about doing so? Show notonly which crosses to make, but also how many progenyshould be sampled in each case.
