Chapter 4, Problem 13PDQ
In cats, orange coal color is determined by the b allele, and black coat color is determined by the B allele. The heterozygous condition results in a coat pattern known as tortoiseshell. These genes are X-linked. What kinds of offspring would be expected from a cross of a black male and a tortoiseshell female? What are the chances of getting a tortoiseshell male?

In fruit flies, the following X-linked traits are found: white eyes are recessive to red eyes, ebony body is recessive to gray body, and short wings is recessive to long wings. A cross was made between wild-type males with red eyes, long wings, and gray bodies and females with white eyes, short wings, and ebony bodies. Female heterozygote resulting from this cross, which had red eyes, long wings, and gray bodies, were then crossed with males with white eyes, short wings, and ebony bodies. The F2 generation data is obtained below:
1299 white eyes, short wings, ebony bodies
1367 red eyes, long wings, gray bodies
99 white eyes, short wings, gray body
89 red eyes, long wings, ebony bodies
49 white eyes, long wings, ebony bodies
49 red eyes, short wings, gray bodies
1 red eyes, short wings, ebony bodies
1 white eyes, long wings, gray bodies
A) Calculate the map distance separating the three genes
B) Which gene is in the middle?
In cats, black fur color is caused by an X-linked allele; the other allele at this locus causes orange color. The heterozygote is tortoiseshell. What kinds of offspring would you expect from the cross of a black female and an orange male?
In cats, S = short hair; s = long hair; XC = black coat; Xc = yellow coat; XCXc = tortoiseshell (calico) coat. If a long-haired yellow male is crossed with a tortoiseshell female homozygous for short hair, what are the expected phenotypic results?

- Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question. Which of the following is the most probable interaction between the two genetic loci, A and C, based on the average F1 ratio results? A - The two loci show an epistatic pattern with the loci C epistatic to loci A. B - The two loci show a codominant pattern with both loci affecting coat color. C - The two loci interact in a Mendelian pattern with A being completely dominant over C. D - The two loci show an incomplete dominance pattern with neither loci A nor C being dominant.arrow_forwardCoat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C).
