Summary Introduction
To determine: The progeny ratios in each of the three types of mating.
Introduction: PTC tasting is a standard genetic marker in human population genetics researches. In 1931 Arthur Fox in Wilmington, Delaware, integrated phenylthiocarbamide. Some researchers proclaimed a bitter taste while entering his laboratory, while others, including Fox himself, encountered no such sensation.

The Soay sheep of St. Kilda Island near Scotland have changed coat color over the past 20 years, with dark colored sheep declining in frequency and light colored sheep increasing. Coat color is determined by the TYRP1 gene. The TYRP1-T homozygote is light colored, while TYRP1-G homozygotes and heterozygotes are dark. Discuss the hypothesis that assortative mating between sheep with similar coat color is the cause of the increase in light coat color over this period.
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus.
a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes?
b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny?
c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding
is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the
genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The
genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss. In the game, one
way to get a blue rose is to cross two roses with the Rr Yy Ww ss
genotype.
A) What types of gametes and in what proportions will a Rr Yy Ww ss
rose produce?
B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible
offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear?
Show your work.
C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?
