Duroc Jersey pigs are typically red, but a sandy variation is also seen. When two different varieties of true-breeding sandy pigs were crossed to each other, they produced F1 offspring that were red. When these F1 offspring were crossed to each other, they produced red, sandy, and white pigs in a 9:6:1 ratio. Explain this pattern of inheritance in terms of number of genes, and any allele or gene interactions.

the lubber grasshopper is a very large grasshopper,and is black and red and yellow stripes.Assume that red strpes are expressed from Gr alleles,yellow stripes from the Gy allele,and no stripes from the g allele.What will be the phenotype ratio resulting from a cross of two grasshoppers,both with red and yellow stripes? what type of inheritance is occurring in this situation ?
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In horses, coat color comes in many varieties. If a brown horse is crossed with a white horse, the offspring are palominos (brown and white manes and tails). Name the type of inheritance. If a palomino horse is crossed with a white horse, what will the phenotype ratio of the F1 be?
In Labrador retrievers, some puppies have pink noses and some have black. Labrador retrievers with black fur almost always have black noses. What type of inheritance pattern is this? Explain how this is possible.
Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
A spotted rabbit, when mated with a solid-colored rabbit, produced all spotted offspring. When these F1 rabbits were crossed among themselves, they produced 24 spotted rabbits and 8 solid-colored rabbits. Which of these characters is dependent on a dominant gene? a. spotted rabbit b. solid-colored rabbit
A type of mouse may have round ears or pointed ears. A female mouse homozygous for pointed ears is crossed with a male mouse homozygous for round ears. All the male offspring have pointed ears and all the female offspring have round ears. When the F1 offspring are crossed with each other, the resulting F2 are produced in the following ratios: Males: 3 pointed : 1 rounded Females: 3 rounded : 1 pointed Explain the inheritance mechanism that produces these results and indicate the dominance relationship.
In cattle, coat color is inherited in a co-dominant fashion. Homozygous C R C R produces red coat,homozygous C W C W produces white coat, and the heterozygous C R C W produces roan-colored coat.What is the probability of having a roan-coated offspring in a cross between a white-coated cattle anda roan-coated cattle?
In oats, the color of the chaff is determined by a two-gene interaction. When a true-breeding black chaff plant was crossed to a truebreeding white chaff plant, the F1 generation was composed of allblack chaff plants. When the F1 offspring were crossed to eachother, the ratio produced was 12 black to 3 gray to 1 white. First,construct a Punnett square that accounts for this pattern of inheritance. Which genotypes produce the gray chaff phenotype? Second,at the level of protein function, how would you explain this type ofinheritance?
In dogs, wire-haired (S) is dominant to smooth-haired (s). In a cross of a homozygous wire-haired with a smooth-haired dog, what will be the phenotype of the F1 generation? What would be the genotype? What would be the ratio the wire-haired dogs in the F1 generation? What are the genotypic ratio and phenotypic ratio?
A cross between two plants that both have yellowflowers produces 80 offspring plants, of which 38have yellow flowers, 22 have red flowers, and 20have white flowers. If one assumes that this variation in color is due to inheritance at a single locus,what is the genotype associated with each flowercolor, and how can you describe the inheritance offlower color?
