Chapter 3, Problem 21P
A black mare was crossed to a chestnut stallion and produced a bay son and a bay daughter. The two offspring were mated to each other several times, and they produced offspring of four different coat colors: black, bay, chestnut, and liver. Crossing a liver grandson back to the black mare gave a black foal, and crossing a liver granddaughter back to the chestnut stallion gave a chestnut foal. Explain how coat color is being inherited in these horses.

In horses, B=black coat, b=brown coat, T=trotter, and t=pacer. A black pacer mated to a brown trotter produces a black trotter offspring. What is the genotype for this offspring.
Potatoes may have the following shapes: long, round, or oval. The cross between long and oval potatoes yielded 209 long and 216 ovals. While the cross between oval and round potatoes yielded 213 oval and 209 round. Crosses between long and round potatoes yielded 600 ovals. Lastly the cross between two oval potatoes yielded 201 long, 313 ovals, and 209 round. What is their inheritance?
When a white guinea pig is crossed to a yellow guinea pig, all the progeny are cream colored. From a cross of two such F1’s, the F2 showed 32 white, 66 cream, and 30 yellow guinea pigs. How is this trait inherited?

- In horses, the cross between a pure bred chestnut horse and pure bred cremello (white) horse produces a palomino horse. What would the offspring be from the cross of two palomino horses? What is the chance of getting each type of horse?arrow_forwardMost flour beetles are black, but several color variants are known. Crosses of pure-breeding parents produced the following results (see table) in the F1 generation, and intercrossing the F1 from each cross gave the ratios shown for the F2 generation. The phenotypes are abbreviated Bl, black; Br, brown; Y, yellow; and W, white. a. From these results, deduce and explain the inheritance of these colors. b. Write the genotypes of each of the parents, the F1, and the F2 in all crosses.arrow_forwardA dog breeder liked yellow and brown Labrador retrievers. In an attempt to produce yellow and brown puppies, he mated a yellow Labrador male and a brown Labrador female. Unfortunately, all the puppies produced in this cross were black. a. Explain this result. b. How might the breeder go about producing yellow and brown Labradors?arrow_forward
- A man crosses two pink-flowered four o’clock and obtains seeds which grow into plants bearing the following flower colors: 24 red, 53 pink, and 26 white.

When a true-breeding black chaff plant was crossed to a truebreeding white chaff plant, the F1 generation was composed of allblack chaff plants. When the F1 offspring were crossed to eachother, the ratio produced was 12 black to 3 gray to 1 white. First,construct a Punnett square that accounts for this pattern of inheritance. Which genotypes produce the gray chaff phenotype? Second,at the level of protein function, how would you explain this type ofinheritance?arrow_forwardA rabbit with black fur (B) is crossed with a rabbit with white fur (b).

You cross a blue male to each of two green females. In the first cross, the blue male is crossed to a green female named Gabby, resulting in 2 green and 2 blue offspring. In the second cross, the same blue male is crossed to a green female named Gail, resulting in 5 green offspring. Based on these results: ● [Select] phenotype is dominant. • Gail's genotype is [Select] The cross between the male and Gabby is called a [ Select] cross.arrow_forwardA cross was made between a black male dog and two different white females.
