# 1 b) An allele for coat color in mice, Y, produces a yellow coat color when present. The phenotypes of the F1 generation are shown. A cross between a Non-yellow mouse and yellow mouse produces half yellow and half non-yellow progeny (offsprings). Non-yellow happens to be white in this example, but it does not need to be; it can be black, grey, or some other mouse color. How does the F1 generation ratio differ from the expected mendelian ratios for a heterozygous, hybrid cross? * P generation Yellow Non-yellow

A female hamster from a true-breeding big-eared strain was crossed to a male hamster from a true-breeding short-whiskered strain. Their offspring(F1) had normal ear size and whisker legnth. 1.

In guinea pigs, short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l), and the heterozygous conditions ofyellow coat (CY) and white coat (CW) give cream coat. A short- haired, cream guinea pig is bredto a long-haired, white guinea pig, and a long-haired, cream baby guinea pig is produced. Whenthe baby grows up, it is bred back to the short-haired, cream parent. What phenotypic classes, andin what proportions, are expected among the offspring?
1. Dihybrid crosses: In dogs, black coat color(B) is dominant to yellow coat fur (b), and straight fur (F) is dominant to curly fur (f). The coat color gene and the fur texture gene are on different chromosomes, so they assort independently, and are not sex linkied. Determine the ratio of having a yellow dog with straight hair if the parents are: BbFF x Bbff a. What are the phenotype of the parents? b. Complete a punnet square. List all the genotypes of the predicted offsprin of this mating c. Based on your Punnet sqaure, list all the genotypes for offspring that would yield a dog with yellow straigh hair d. Based on the punnet square, what is the predicted phenotypic ratio for those parents having a dog with black curly hair.
1. Hair or fur length in cats is controlled by a single, autosomal gene; the short hair-allele is dominant to the allele for long hair. Hair color is produced by a different gene which is located on the X chromosome. One allele for this sex-linked gene produces yellow, while an alternate allele produces black fur color; individualswhich are heterozygous for these alleles are calico or tortiseshell in color.If a long-haired, black male is mated with a calico female homozygous for short hair what kind of kittens will be produced in the Ej generation? Give both genotypes and phenotypes; express the genotypes bothsymbolically and in words. Label answers clearly!!
1. The lubber grasshopper is a very large grasshopper and is black with red and yellow stripes. The alleles for red and yellow stripes are co-dominant.

How many of each genotype will be found in the F1 generation resulting from a cross of two grasshoppers, both with red and yellow stripes? b. How many of each phenotype?
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. Mouse Coat Phenotype and Genotype Correlation Agouti coat AA, Aa Solid gray/black coat aa Pigment production CC, Cc Albinism cc 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.
