Genetics: Analysis and Principles
- In horses, there are three coat colour patterns called cremello (beige/light brown), chestnut (brown) and palomino (golden with a light mane and tail). If two palomino horses are mated, they produce about ¼ cremello, ¼ chestnut and ½ palomino offspring. In contrast, cremello and chestnut horses breed true.a. Explain this pattern of inheritance. (Refer to the number of loci controlling the trait, the number of alleles per ocus and the dominance interaction between the alleles).b. Assign genotypes to the phenotypes.arrow_forwardTwo goats are mated together. One is tall and brown and of unknown genotype. The other is a short white goat. Assuming that tall (T) is dominant to short (t) and Brown (B) is dominant to white(b), what is the probability that they will produce a short, white offspring?arrow_forwardIf a pure breeding(homozygous) black(dominant), longhaired (recessive) cat is made of pure breeding Siamese, shorthaired cat, and one of their male offspring has made it to one of their female offspring, what is the chance of producing a Siamese colored shorthair kitten?arrow_forward

The troting gait is due to a dominat allele (T), and the pacing gait is a recessive allele (t) a) If two Black trotting horses are mated and have for offsprings, all of which are black and pacing, what does that reveal about the probable genotype of the parent horses? b)A stud is black and trotting. He is mated with a mayor who is also black and trotting. Their colt is black and pacing. The same stud is mated to a second mare who is Chestnut and pacing. Their colt is Chestnut and trotting. What is the probable genotype(s) of the stud, mare 1, colt 1, and colt 2arrow_forwardIn roan cattle, red (R) and white (W) are codominant. Heterozygous individuals produce both red and white hairs, known as roan. When two roan cattle are crossed, what are the phenotypic ratios of the offspring?arrow_forward
- A male black (BB) and polled (PP) Angus is crossed with a female black (BB) and horned (pp) Angus. a) Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of their F1 offspring. b) If the F1 in is inter se mated, what are the possible phenotypic and genotypic ratios of their offspring?arrow_forwardIn horses, the coat color black is dominant (B) over chestnut (b). The trotting gait is dominant (T) over the pacing gait (t). If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut, heterozygous trotter, what will be the ratios for genotype and phenotype of the F1 generation?arrow_forwardIn rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c); heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted. Consider a cross between a heterozygous black-coated rabbit and a homozygous white-coated rabbit.arrow_forward
- In horses, black coat color (B) is dominant over roan coat color (b), and a trotter (T) is dominant over a pacer (t). A black trotter mare was bred with a stallion to produce a roan pacer colt. Determine the genotypes of the colt and mare and all the possible genotypes for the stallion. What is the highest probability for the stallion’s genotype?arrow_forwardSpotting in horses is dominant over solid color. Black color is dominant over red color. Two heterozygous black spotted horses are mated. What would be all possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring?arrow_forwardIn horses, black color (B) dominates chestnut color (b). Trotting gait dominates pacing gait (t). A cross is made between a horse homozygous for both black color and pacing gait and a horse homozygous for both chestnut color and trotting gait. The probable genotype of the offspring resulting from such a cross is and the probable phenotype of the offspring resulting from such a cross is .arrow_forward
