- Rabbits may be classified as agouti, chinchilla, Himalayan, or albino according to coat color. A crossbetween CC^h x C^ch c produced 5 agouti, 3 chinchilla and 2 Himalayans. a. What are the phenotypes of the parent rabbits?Ā b. What are the genotypes of the F1s? c. What mode of inheritance is exhibited? d. If the two F1 agouti genotypes will be crossed, what percentage of their offspring will have the same phenotype? e. What will be the genotypes of the rabbits in (d)?arrow_forwardIn autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color isĀ very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominantĀ to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous redĀ autotetraploid strain.Ā Ā a. What is the genotype of the Fl1? b. Show the types of gametes the Fl's may be expected to form and derive the expectedĀ proportion of each. Show your solution.Ā c. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if:Ā the Fl's are intercrossed? Show your solution.Ā the Fl's are crossed with red plants? Show your solution. d. If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportionsĀ of gametes would the Fl be expected to produce? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.arrow_forwardIn certain breeds of chicken, the appearance of the comb (a fleshy growth or crest on the top of the head of gallinaceous birds, such as turkeys, pheasants, and domestic chickens) is controlled by a single pair of genes. One type of comb, the pea comb, is dominant over a single comb. You own a rooster with a single comb. M a. What is the genotype of your rooster? b. Suppose you cross your rooster is crossed your neighbor's pea- combed hen. The brood of 13 eggs that is produced hatches to Single reveal 5 have single combs and 7 have pea combs. What was the genotype of your neighbor's hem? (Use a Punnett square to determine your results). Peaarrow_forward
- Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained: colored, green 88 colored, yellow 12 colorless, green 8 colorless, yellow 92 Explain how these results were obtained by determining the exact genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise arrangement of the alleles on the homologs.arrow_forwardIn the snail Cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell, u, is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell, U. Genes at a different locus determine the background color of the shell. The allele for a yellow shell, b, is recessive to the allele for a brown shell, B. A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 progeny are then crossed with banded, yellow snails in a testcross. Predict the percentage of progeny in each phenotype if the two genes are linked with no recombination, if the two genes assort independently, and if the genes are 20 m.u. apart. Place the percentage for each phenotype for each of the scenarios in the table. Percentages can be used more than once. Phenotype Brown, unbanded Brown, banded Yellow, unbanded Yellow, banded 80% 50% 100% Linked, Independent no recombination assortment 25% 10% Answer Bank 75% 90% 60% 70% 20% Genes 20 m.u. apart 40% 30% 0%arrow_forwardPlease consider the pedigree below.

- AĀ cross between a black-furred male dog and a white-furred female dog could produce offspringĀ with a black-and-white coat. This means that the color coat traits of the parents are codominant asĀ both were expressed together. Show a cross between a Black-white furred dog and a homozygousĀ white dog.

- Incomplete Dominance: 1) On the planet Iota Geminorum IV there exists a small hairy animal known as a tribble. It comes in three colors blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus with incompletre dominance. A homozygous CBCB is blue, a homozygous CRCR is red, and a heterozygous CBCR is purple. a.
