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?
Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?
In sweet pea plants, an allele for purple flowers. (P) is dominanl when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for Jang pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grains (L). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers and long pollen grains with one having white flowers and round pollen grains. All F1 offspring have purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple /lower/ round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?

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…
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).

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…
20. 20.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A. Codominance is evident when a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring that exhibits both parental traits because the alleles for each trait are neither completely dominant nor recessive B. Incomplete dominance is evident when a cross between a white carnation and a red carnation results in a pink carnation flower. C. Law of dominance state that if the alleles of a specific gene differ from each other, only one phenotype will be expressed while the other is masked D. The inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of the other trait especially if the allele of the other trait is located in a different chromosome
Kernel color in wheat Red kernel color in wheat results from the interaction between two dominant alleles. With only one dominant allele, the phenotype is brown while in the absence of any dominant allele, the phenotype is white. Suppose that plants of a variety that is true breeding for red kernels are crossed with plants true breeding for white kernels. What specific type of interaction can be observed? A. duplicate dominant genes B. duplicate genes with cumulative effects C. complementary genes D. dominant epistasis (case 2)
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. Assume that red stripes are expressed from the homozygous RR genotype, yellow stripes from the homozygous YY genotype, and both from the heterozygous genotype RY. a. 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?
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.
