For all of the testcross problems, indicate parental phenotypes, genotypes and gametes; indicate genotypes and phenotypes off offspring.  Show your work on a separate sheet(s) of paper!

 

I.         Complete Dominance

 

  1. House mice have two coat colors; gray (agouti, or wild type) and black. When true-breeding gray mice are crossed with true-breeding black mice, the F1 generation are all gray.  In the F2 generation there are three gray to one black (3/4 gray : 1/4 black).

 

  1. Diagram the F1 cross, using G = gray, g = black.

 

  1. What genotypic and phenotypic ratios would you expect if you crossed a pure breeding gray mouse with a heterozygous mouse?

 

  1. Two gray mice with unknown ancestry are crossed.  Can you determine from the phenotypes of their offspring if the parents are homozygous or heterozygous?  Explain how.
