The dominant C allele of a gene that controls color in corn produces kernels with color; plants homozygous for a recessive c allele of this gene have colorless or white kernels. What kinds of gametes, and in what proportions, would be produced by the plants in the following crosses? What seed color, and in what proportions, would be expected in the offspring of the crosses? a. CCCc b. Cccc c. CcCc
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?
Consider a cross to investigate the pea pod texture trait, involving constricted or inflated pods. Mendel found that the traits behave according to a dominant/ recessive pattern in which inflated pods were dominant. If you performed this cross and obtained 650 inflated-pod plants in the F2 generation, approximately how many constricted-pod plants would you expect to have? 600 165 217 468
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?

1) Imagine you discover a new mutant strain of tailless mice. Upon looking closer, you notice that I is only the females who are tailless. In paired matings with tailless females crossed with normalmales, you find that the progeny are always recovered in the following ratios: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal males. a)What is the most likely genotype of the tailless mice? b) Provide a simple explanation for the ratio: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal males.

1. Most of the individuals of a certain wildflower population have white flowers, although a few are purple-flowered. Crosses have demonstrated that allele for white color flower (W) is dominant over the allele for purple (w). a. Give the genotype of a purple-flowered plant, and show the gametes that it would produce as a result of meiosis. b. If two heterozygous whoite-flowered plants are crossed. What fraction of the offspring do you expect to be purple? c. If two purple-flowered plants are crossed, what fraction of their offspring do you expect to be white? 2. In one study, Gregor Mendel crossed yellow-seeded, tall garden pea with a green-seeded, short garden pea. The F1 offspring were all yellow-seeded and tall.
