2) Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. At one locus on the X chromosome one allele (X*) encodes black fur; another allele (X°) encodes orange fur. Females can be black (X* X*), orange (Xº xº), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (X* x°). Males can either black (X*Y) or orange (XOY). I have a female tortoiseshell that becomes pregnant by a stray male cat. Her kittens are: 1 orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. Give the GENOTYPES of the mom, all the kittens, and the male stray cat.

- 1. In Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) experiment, if we are going to cross male and female red-eyed fruit flies, we have the resulting offspring ratio of 50% red-eyed for female, 25 % for red-eyed male and 25% for white-eyed male. Females which are either homozygous or heterozygous for a trait still expressed eye redness whereas males can easily be affected. Why is this so? a. Females are the carriers of a gene for eye redness b. Y chromosome is responsible for red eyes in fruit flies, c. The gene for eye redness is an X-link dominant trait, d. Having a red-eyed trait is dominantly expressed by females1) 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…4. An albino corn snake is crossed with a normal-coloredcorn snake. The offspring are all normal-colored.When these first-generation progeny snakes arecrossed among themselves, they produce 32 normalcolored snakes and 10 albino snakes.a. How do you know that only a single gene is responsible for the color differences between these snakes? b. Which of these phenotypes is controlled by thedominant allele?c. A normal-colored female snake is involved in atestcross. This cross produces 10 normal-coloredand 11 albino offspring. What are the genotypes ofthe parents and the offspring?
- 1- In garden peas, yellow (Y) seed color is dominant to green (y). Because yellow and green are two different forms of the same gene (seed color), they are alleles. Use a Punnett square to show a cross between two heterozygous pea plants. What are the phenotype(s) of the offspring? What are the genotype(s) of the offspring? 2- In garden peas, yellow (Y) seed color is dominant to green (y). Because yellow and green are two different forms of the same gene (seed color), they are alleles. Use a Punnett square to show a cross between two heterozygous pea plants. What are the phenotype(s) of the offspring? What are the genotype(s) of the offspring? Use the information below to answer questions 3-6 There may be a number of possible alleles for a given gene within a population. In a multiple allele system the dominance relationships between the various alleles must be considered. One of the more familiar examples of a multiple allelic system is that of the human ABO blood group. The gene…3. In dog coat color genetics, one gene locus, the A locus, has a dominant allele (AS, which gives hairs that are solid black, and aw, which is agouti (a wolf-like gray). The B locus is responsible for the difference in color between black (B-) and brown or chocolate (bb) Labradors. Labrador dogs come in a yellow coat color. Set up a simple cross that falsify the idea of the 3 colors of Labrador dogs being due to a simple multiallelic series, with black dominant to brown which is dominant to yellow.The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?
- 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?In Drosophila, two genes, one for body color and one for eye color, are carried on the same chromosome. The wild-type gray body color is dominant to black body color, and wild-type red eyes are dominant to purple eyes. You make a cross between a fly with gray body and red eyes and a fly with black body and purple eyes. Among the offspring, about half have gray bodies and red eyes and half have black bodies and purple eyes. A small percentage have: (a) black bodies and red eyes; or (b) gray bodies and purple eyes. What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes in each of the flies used in the cross? What alleles are carried together on the chromosomes of the F1 flies with black bodies and red eyes, and those with gray bodies and purple eyes?A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
- Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds1. 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. In guinea pigs, two different genes affect the coat. One gene codes for coat color and there are 2 codominant alleles C1=Brown and C2=White. The heterozygous form is tan colored. The second gene codes for presence of hair with H=hairy (dominant) and h=hairless (recessive). If we didn't know the genotypes of the parents, but mom is hairless and dad is tan haired, and the babies produced included brown, tan, white, and hairless, can you guess the genotypes of the parents?
