Genetics: Analysis and Principles
- Two 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_forwardIn horses, there are three coat colour patterns called cremello (beige/light brown), chestnut (brown) andpalomino (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 perlocus and the dominance interaction between the alleles).b. Assign genotypes to the phenotypes.arrow_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
- In shorthorn cattle (S), when a red bull is crossed with a white cow, all the offspring are roan—a spotted, red and white or milky red color. What offspring are expected from mating a roan bull and a roan cow? Show the Punnett Square.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_forward;!)!(?;?;?(!!((!)arrow_forward
- 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?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_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_forward
- In cats, pointed ears (E) are dominant to round ears (e), while black fur (F) is dominant to red (f). A cat with round ears and red fur is crossed with a completely heterozygous black cat with pointed ears.arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardYou are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings.arrow_forward
