17. In llamas, floppy ears (F) are dominant to pointy ears (f). Also in llamas, bowlegs (b) are recessive to straight legs (B). A llama with floppy ears (Ff) and bowlegs is crossed with one that is heterozygous for both traits. Following the five steps (as usual!) show the ratios of the resulting phenotypes.

In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
8. In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b). Similarly, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant over the allele for having rough hair (h). Pure breeding rough haired guinea pigs with black fur were crossed with pure breeding straight haired guinea pigs with white fur. a. State the genotype and the phenotype of the F1 individuals produced as a result of this cross.b. Two F1 offspring were mated together. Calculate the expected ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation.c. Show the completed Punnett square below.
4) In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown in the image attached. a) Assign the letter “s” to the wing pattern gene and letter “w” to the background color gene. Write in the capital letter for the dominant phenotype and the lower case letter for the recessive phenotype. Also, write whether each allele is dominant (D) or recessive (R). Wing pattern gene: Spotted - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Striped - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ Background color gene: orange: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:____ white: - letter assignment:____ - dominant or recessive:_____ b) Based on the four matings in Question 4: What are the genotypes of each parent in each cross?

1) By convention, the recessive trait will determine the abbreviation used to track crosses if it is a mutant condition, since it stands out in contrast to the rest of the population. For example, if pea pods are typically green in color, a mutant condition might result in yellow pea pods; therefore, the lowercase letter ‘y’ would be used to depict the mutant state, yellow, while uppercase ‘Y’ would depict the wildtype (wt) condition, green. Remember that the mutant condition is not necessarily always recessive. 1 A) . If green is dominant wt (Y) and yellow is a recessive mutant condition (y), depict a Yy father mated with a YY mother in the Punnett. 1B) Considering the dominant allele, what colors are the parents in the cross above? Yy = _____________________ YY = _____________________ 1C) What colors are the offspring in the cross above? 1D) What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? 1E) What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? (Remember, the genotypic ratio is based…

1. In a particular bird species, the tips of the feathers are tinged with blue, white, or silver. The BB genotype calls for blue-tipped feathers. The WW genotype calls for white-tipped feathers. The BW genotype calls for an intermediate with silver-tipped feathers. A mating occurs between a blue-tipped bird and a white-tipped bird. What types of offspring would be expected? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring and the probability of each. 2. The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each. 3. In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. When a cat with a…
