When a Chinese hamster with white spots is crossed with another hamster that has no spots, approximately 12 of the offspring have white spots and 12 have no spots. When two hamsters with white spots are crossed, 23 of the offspring possess white spots and 13 have no spots. Q. What is the genetic basis of white spotting in Chinese hamsters?
Four alleles determine a rabbit’s coat colour: agouti (C), chinchilla (cch), Himalayan (ch), and albino (c). The order of dominance is C > cch > ch > c. A chinchilla rabbit is crossed with an albino rabbit. What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring? Select one: a. Chinchilla and Himalayan b. Chinchilla, Himalayan, albino, and agouti c. Chinchilla, Himalayan, and albino d. Chinchilla
In mallard ducks, Anas platyrhynchos, plumage is under control of a single gene with three alleles: M, which codes for wild-type mallard plumage; MR, which codes for restricted plumage; and MD, which codes for dominant plumage. all three types of plumage breed true. Deduce the dominance hierarcy of the three alleles based on the following crosses Cross Offspring a. Dusky x Mallard 1/2 Dusky : 1/2 Mallard b. Dusky x Restricted 1/2 Dusky : 1/2 Restricted c. Mallard x Mallard 3/4 Mallard : 1/4 Dusky d. Mallard x Restricted 1/2 Restricted : 1/4 Mallard : 1/4 Dusky
A-Using incomplete dominance show a Punnett square with a cross between a homozygous red kitten and a homozygous blonde kitten. Let red be “dominant”. Give the F1 and F2 generation genotypes and phenotypes. B-Using incomplete dominance, show a Punnett Square with the cross between a homozygous long-tailed lizard and a homozygous short-tailed lizard. Let long-tailed be “dominant.” Give the genotype and phenotypes for F1 and F2 generations.
Given a cross between these two parents: BbCcDDEEFfGgHhjj x BbCcddEeFfGgHHjj where traits B, E, H, J exhibit Mendelian inheritance; C, and F exhibit incomplete dominance; D, and G exhibit co-dominance answer the following: What proportion of the offspring will phenotypically resemble the first parent? What proportion of the offspring will genotypically resemble the second parent? How many phenotypes can be expected from the cross?
In mice, the presence of a dominant A allele results in the agouti pattern of fur color, whereas the aa homozygous recessive results in a solid color pattern. The presence of another dominant B allele results in black fur color, whereas the homozygous recessive bb results in brown fur color. The presence of a third dominant C allele is required for any color to be observed (brown or black), whereas the homozygous recessive cc results in lack of any color whatsoever (albino). What is the phenotype of a mouse with the following genotype? Aa bb cc albino Agouti color pattern and brown Solid color pattern and brown Agouti color pattern and black Solid color pattern and black
Repeat this process for the following genotypic frequencies for the presence or absence of mid-digital hair by a typical 1407 class: Frequency of homozygous dominants (HH, mid-digital hair present): 0.21 Frequency of heterozygous individuals (Hh, mid-digital hair present): 0.16 Frequency of homozygous recessives (hh, no mid-digital hair): 0.63 Total No. of alleles present: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by homozygous dominants: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by homozygous recessives: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Total number of dominant alleles in the population: _____________ Frequency of the dominant allele (H) in the population: _____________ Frequency of the recessive allele (h) in the population: _____________

In rabbits, black color (B) is dominant to brown (b), while fullcolor (C) is dominant to chinchilla (c ch). The genes controllingthese traits are linked. Rabbits that are heterozygous for bothtraits and express black, full color are crossed to rabbits thatexpress brown, chinchilla with the following results:31 brown, chinchilla 34 black, full16 brown, full 19 black, chinchillaDetermine the arrangement of alleles in the heterozygousparents and the map distance between the two genes.
In rabbits, an allelic series helps to determine coat color: C (full color), cch (chinchilla; gray color), ch (Himalayan; white with black extremities), and c (albino; all white). The C allele is dominant to all others, cch is dominant to ch and c, ch is dominant to c, and c is recessive to all the other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > cch > ch > c. Indicate the phenotypic ratios expected in rabbits with the cross cchch × chc. 1 full color:1 chinchilla 1 full color:1 Himalayan 1 chinchilla:1 Himalayan 3 full color:1 chinchilla 2 full color:1 Himalayan:1 albino
