An albino corn snake is crossed with a normal-colored corn snake. The offspring are all normal-colored. When these first-generation progeny snakes are crossed among themselves, they produce 32 normalcolored snakes and 10 albino snakes. How do you know that only a single gene is responsible for the color differences between these snakes? Which of these phenotypes is controlled by the dominant allele? A normal-colored female snake is involved in a testcross. This cross produces 10 normal-colored and 11 albino offspring. What are the genotypes of the parents and the offspring?

Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?
When a white guinea pig is crossed to a yellow guinea pig, all the progeny are cream-colored. From a cross of two such F1’s, the F2 showed 32 white, 66 cream, and 30 yellow guinea pigs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the white guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the yellow guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the cream-colored guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes of the F2 progeny. Give the genotypic ratio. __________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________
In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype If you carried out this test cross, what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation?
A geneticist crosses two yellow mice with straight hair and obtains the following progeny: 1/2 yellow straight, 1/6 yellow fuzzy, 1/4 gray straight and 1/12 gray fuzzy What additional cross might be carried out to determine if your explanation is correct? Note: recessive lethal epistatis
Let’s say we are crossing flies with a “big head” mutant trait with flies that have normal sized heads. If the mutant allele in this cross is a dominant, autosomal allele, when phenotype(s) should be present in the F1 of your cross, and what fraction of the F1 should each phenotype represent?
You are studying ear shape in dogs (with XY se x determination) and cross a true-breeding pointed-ear female to a true-breeding floppy-ear male and collect all pointy-ear male and female offspring. Your colleague suspects that the two phenotypes may be caused by alleles of one X-linked gene. What sort of cross would you do to determine whether this is an X-linked trait? Name it and describe it. What offspring phenotypic ratio would you expect in that cross if the green allele is a dominant X-linked allele? Make sure to label your ratio with all relevant phenotypes. How would the result of your cross (from A) be different if the trait is autosomal
A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a pea hen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut, 11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are the likely genotypes of the parents?
In guinea pigs, rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth coat (r). If a homozygous rough-coated animal is crossed with a smooth-coated one: What will be the phenotype(s) of the F1 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the F2 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring resulting from a cross of an F1 individual back to its rough parent? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring of a cross of an F1 individual back to its smooth parent?
A diploid plant has red flowers, heavy seeds and large leaves. The plant is a heterozygous for the following three genes:flower color (gene “F”),seed weight (gene “S”),and leaf size (gene “L”). This plant is testcrossed to a plant, which has white flowers, light seeds, and small leaves, the progeny of the testcross is as follows: 222 Red, heavy, large 228 White, light, small 224 Red, heavy, small 226 White, light, large 24 Red, light, large 26 White, heavy, small 25 White, heavy, large 25 Red, light, small Based on this results, which of the following statement is correct? Question 9 options: All three genes are on different chromosomes. Genes S and L are linked, while F assorts independently. Genes F and S are linked, while L assorts independently. Genes F and L are linked, while S assorts independently.
In a population of rabbits, you find three differentcoat color phenotypes: chinchilla (C), himalaya (H),and albino (A). To understand the inheritance of coatcolors, you cross individual rabbits with each otherand note the results in the following table.Cross number Parental phenotypes Phenotypes of progeny1 H × H 3/4 H : 1/4 A2 H × A 1/2 H : 1/2 A3 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 H4 C × H all C5 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 A6 H × A all H7 C × A 1/2 C : 1/2 A8 A × A all A9 C × H 1/2 C : 1/2 H10 C × H 1/2 C : 1/4 H : 1/4 Aa. What can you conclude about the inheritance ofcoat color in this population of rabbits?b. Ascribe genotypes to the parents in each of the10 crosses.c. What kinds of progeny would you expect, and inwhat proportions, if you crossed the chinchilla parents in crosses 9 and 10?
Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If instead of the above, assume the wing shape gene and the body color gene are completely linked. From parents that are curled winged with brown bodies mated to straight winged with black bodies, what would be the outcome of an F1 intercross? (Specify the phenotypes and the frequency of each expected).
