Incomplete dominance. A dog with a black coat mates with a dog with a white coat, and all of the offspring have gray coats, a result due to incomplete dominance. What must the genotypes of the parents and the offspring be, assuming that CB = black coat and CW = white coat? please show punnet square also
EXAMPLE PROBLEM Two black female mice are crossed with a brown male. In several litters, female I produced 9 black offspring and 7 brown; female II produced 57 black offspring. What deductions can you make about the inheritance of black and brown coat color in mice? What are the genotypes of the parents? Dominance and recessive describe which of two possible phenotypes are exhibited when two different alleles occur in the same individual.
In Manx cats, the alleles TT yield a cat with normal long tail. The alleles Tt yield a cat with a shirt or absent tail, and the alleles tt are lethal to an embryo. Predict the genotypes and phenotypes of potenjtal kittens resulting from the mating of 2 short-tailed cats.
In goats, black fur is dominant to red fur. The gene for this trait can be described as Bb (if you forgot why this is so, go back and reread the background information at the beginning of this exercise). A homozygous black female goat (nanny) is crossed with a heterozygous male (billy).
During breeding season, lizards attract mates by bobbing their heads and displaying colorful throat patches. The genes for these traits are on different chromosomes. Fast bobbing heads (F) and red throat patches (R) are dominant to slow bobbing heads and yellow patches. a. A male lizard heterozygous for head bobbing and homozygous dominant for the red throat patch mates with a female that is also heterozygous for head bobbing but is homozygous recessive for yellow throat patches. How many of their offspring will have fast bobbing heads and red throat patches (assume 16 young). b. Assume that lizards prefer to mate with other lizards with fast bobbing heads and red throat patches. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will lack mates because they are slow bobbers with yellow throats? c. What percentage of the offspring from “A” will have only one of the two desired traits?
PLEASE DO BAR GRAPHS BASED ON DATA: Procedure: Assuming both parents carry three tall genes and three short genes, you will model the inheritance of height for ten different offspring. Flip a coin six times to determine how many tall and short genes the child inherits. Heads represents a tall gene and tails represents a short gene. Record all of your data along with the class data in the tables below Data: Table 1: Group results Flip (Your Group) 1 2 3 4 5 Number of tails 0 1 2 3 4 Number of heads 6 5 4 3 2 Table 1: continued Flip (Your Group) 6 7 8 9 10 Number of tails 5 6 3 2 1 Number of heads 1 0 3 4 5 Table 2: Group and class results Flip Situation 0 T 6 H 1 T 5 H 2 T 4 H 3 T 3 H 4 T 2 H 5 T 1 H 6 T 0 H Your Group Total 1 3 6 10 9 5 1 Class Total 0…
In mice, there is an allele that in the heterozygous condition, produces mice with yellow coats. Mice that are homozygous recessive for the allele have white-color coats. Homozygous dominant mice abort early or are born stillborn. If a yellow male is mated to female yellow mouse, what is the phenotypic ratio you would expect among the 15 living offspring? (Show your work below.)
Two brown bears have cubs in late spring. The mother bear has the phenotype for long front claws. The mother bear has the genotype (Aa), while the father has the same genotype as the mother. A) What percentage of the offspring will have long claws?
Female pig Emmy Lou (straight tail, white-haired) with the haplotype cH/Ch was mated to a curly-tailed black-haired male pig Wilhelm (ch/ch). Curly tails are due to the cc genotype and black hair is due to the hh genotype. From the choices shown below, which genotype would you expect to be the most frequent among their offspring? cH/ch cH/ch CH/ch CH/ch ch/ch ch/ch cc/hh cc/hh All genotypes are equally likely. All genotypes are equally likely.
Give typed explanation of all not a single word hand written otherwise leave it A tortoiseshell cat is found with two kittens. One of the kittens is an orange female, and the other kitten is a black male. What would be the genotype of the tortoiseshell cat (the mother of the two kittens)? ____________________________ What would be the genotype of the male cat that fathered the two kittens? ____________________________ Draw a Punnett square in the space below, showing the potential genotypes of kittens produced by a cross between the tortoiseshell cat and the father of the two kittens.
Summer Squash The fruit colours of summer squash may be white, yellow, or green. The determination of the phenotypic colour is an example of dominant epistasis. White fruit is produced by a dominant epistatic allele (W). At another location on the chromosome, the allele for yellow fruit (F) is dominant over the allele for green fruit (f). The presence of the white allele hides the effect of the yellow or green alleles. If a WwFf x WwFf cross occurs, predict the gametes predict the offspring that will occur by creating a Punnett square, and provide the white : yellow : green hybrid phenotypic ratio.
In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
