2. What are the expected genotypic (a) and phenotypic (b) proportions of F: offspring from mating between two black labs that are both double heterozygotes (BbEe)? a. Genotypic Proportions: Genotype | Expected Proportion Genotype Imc:\ Genotype sz)i BBEE |\, .1, _ 1/16 BbEE | 2" Va=1/8 bbEE |Va* Va=1/16 BBEe Ve Vs =1/8 BbEe | /2" /2= 1/4 bbEe |74 72=1/8 BBee v/ .1, =1/16 Bbee | /2" 7a=1/8 bbee |74 7/a=1/16 b.

Refer to the results of Cross 3 (reproduced in the table immediately below) to answer the following questions. No. Prop. Prop. Prop.

Explain why the expected phenotypic proportions of this cross (see Question 3) differ from the observed proportions of actual puppies born from Cross 3. It's unlikely that the actual numbers of offspring produced of each type would be exactly the same, as the fertilization rate was too small of a specific sample size. b. If Cross 3 resulted in 5000 puppies, rather than 51, do you think the observed and expected values would more or less similar? Explain your answer. Less similar, as there would have been even more possibilities. 4. Assume the parents from Question 3 (Group D), have just one puppy. a. What is the probability that that puppy is a female purebred chocolate lab (bbEE)? (When two purebred parents are mated, the phenotypes of their offspring are always the same as the parents’.) 1/32 (because P(chocolate lab)=1/16 and P(female lab)=1/2) b. Is the “AND” rule or the “OR” rule most useful to answer this question? Explain your answer. “AND" rule, because the lab must be both female and chocolate, not female or chocolate it is not an either or situation. 5. Can a yellow lab be the parent of a purebred chocolate puppy? Explain why or why not. Yes, because it has a different genotype compared to the offspring the genotype for a purebred chocolate lab must be either Ee or EE, and a yellow lab only contains the genotype ee.
