In domestic cats, the allele (L) is a dominant allele for short-hair trait. The
recessive allele for long hair is (I). A female cat with a LI genotype has kittens
with a male cat with a II genotype. What is the probability that a kitten has short
hair?
Hint: it may be helpful to draw a Punnett Square.
An allelic series determines coat color in rabbits: C (full color), c (chinchilla, gray color), c` (Himalayan, white with black
extremities), and c (albino, all white). The C allele is dominant over all others, c is dominant over
over c, and c is recessive to all other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > c

- In chickens, a dominant hereditary abnormality (e.g., creepers) causes death when the genotype is homozygous (CC). The recessive condition (cc) at this locus produces a normal phenotype. Another gene locus with co dominant alleles is known to govern feather color such that the genotype FF = black, ff = splashed white, and Ff = blue. Also, a completely dominant gene W produces white skin. Yellow skin is produced by the homozygous genotype ww.

The C allele is dominant to all others, cch is dominant to ch and c, ch is dominant to c, and c is recessive to all the other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > cch > ch > c.

Two genes are involved, each with a dominant (Y and B) and a recessive allele (y and b). The allele Y codes for the ability to produce hair pigment: Yy and YY dogs have dark pigmented fur but all yy individuals are lighter coloured and yellow. The B allele codes for the ability to make hair with the darkest colouration: BB and Bb individuals have black fur; bb dogs have a lighter shade which is chocolate. In the blank Punnet Square below, calculate and state the ratio of phenotypes that occur with a cross between two individuals with the genotype YyBb.arrow_forward
- In the guinea pig, one locus involved in the control of coat color may be occupied by any of 4 alleles: C (full color), ck (sepia), cd (cream), or ca (albino). The order of dominance is C > ck > cd > ca. A sepia pig was crossed with a cream pig, where the sepia pig had 2 full-color parents & the cream pig had 2 sepia parents. One of the piglets from this cross was albino. What phenotypic ratio is expected from this cross? A) All sepia piglets B) 1/2 full color : 1/4 sepia : 1/4 cream piglets C) 1/2 cream : 1/2 albino piglets D) 1/2 sepia : 1/4 cream : 1/4 albino piglets E) 3/4 sepia & 1/4 cream piglets F) All cream piglets G) 1/2 sepia : 1/2 cream pigletsarrow_forwardBronze coloured turkey is controlled by a dominant allele, B.

However, this breed is also homozygous for the dominant allele I of an independently assorting gene that inhibits coloration of the feathers. Consequently, Leghorn chickens have white feathers. The white Wyandotte breed of chickens has neither the allele for color nor the inhibitor of color; it is therefore genotypically cc ii. What are the F2 phenotypes and proportions expected from intercrossing the progeny of a white Leghorn hen and a white Wyandotte rooster?arrow_forwardIn horses, height is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are Tall (T) and short (T’). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as medium height. What is the phenotype of a horse with the genotype TT?
