In swallowtail butterflies, let's pretend that the R gene codes for coloring on the forewing. The R1 allele, which codes for red color, is dominant to the R2 allele, which codes for white color. If R1 is a recessive lethal allele, what phenotypic ratio would you expect when crossing two swallowtails with red forewings? 1 red : 2 white 1 red : 3 white 3 red : 1 white there is not enough information given to answer this question 1 red : 1 white 2 red : 1 white
You know that hamster unicorns (Phodopus monocerus) will be the next big pet craze and are investigating their genetics. In hamster unicorns, fur color is controlled by two loci (B and P). When you cross true-breeding black hamster unicorns with true-breeding pink hamster unicorns, all F1 offspring are black. Hamster unicorns that are B_P_ and B_pp are black, bbpp are pink, and bbP_ are baby blue. What type of epistasis is this? *genetics/bio question*
A gardener received a pea plant from her neighbor, and she wants to know its genotype. The neighbor told her it produces round peas, which is a dominant trait (R) to wrinkled peas (r). The gardener performs a test cross and observes that half of the offspring plants produce wrinkled peas. What is the genotype of the plant she received from her neighbor?) homozygous recessive, rr heterozygous, Rr homozygous dominant, RR In pea plants, the allele for round peas (R) is dominant to the allele for wrinkled peas (r). A gardener has a plant he got from his neighbor that produces round peas, but he does not know its genotype. What simple procedure could he do to determine the genotype of his new plant?) Perform a dihybrid cross—if only 1 out of 16 offspring are wrinkled, then the new plant’s genotype is RR. Perform a test cross with a plant that has an Rr genotype—if all of the offspring give round seeds, then the new plant’s genotype is Rr. Perform a test cross…
Brown fur vs white fur. Say that the alleles for fur color (brown or white) are written using the letter “B” and “b”. The dominant trait is brown, white fur color represents the recessive trait. If you crossed two homozygous recessive individuals for fur color, what would be the chances of having an offspring with the white phenotype?
In pea plants, the allele for round seeds (R) is dominant and the allele for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. Under what conditions would we observe wrinkled seeds in a pea plant?A. When the plant has a genotype RRB. When the plant inherits a dominant allele from both parentsC. When the plant inherits a recessive allele from both parentsD. When a plant has a heterozygous allelic pair of the gene for seed shape
Two genes, U and H, affect wing development in a species of flying pigs, where some pigs have wings and some do not. Pigs with wings are always homozygous at gene U (U1U1). Among pigs with wings, allele H4 codes for grey feathers and is dominant over allele H5, which codes for white feathers. Which of the following best describes this scenario? Group of answer choices 1.Recessive epistasis of U over H 2.Dominant epistasis of H over U 3.Duplicate Recessive Epistasis 4.Dominant epistasis of U over H 5.Duplicate Dominant Epistasis 6.Recessive epistasis of H over U
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
Brown fur vs white fur. Say that the alleles for fur color (brown or white) are written using the letter “B” and “b”. The dominant trait is brown, white fur color represents the recessive trait. If you crossed two heterozygous individuals for fur color, what would be the chances of having an offspring with the white phenotype?
Honeybees are unusual in that male bees (drones) have only onecopy of each gene, but female bees have two copies of their genes.This difference arises because drones develop from eggs that havenot been fertilized by sperm cells. In bees, the trait of long wingsis dominant over short wings, and the trait of black eyes is dominant over white eyes. If a drone with short wings and black eyeswas mated to a queen bee that is heterozygous for both genes, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of male and femaleoffspring? What are the phenotypic ratios if we assume an equalnumber of male and female offspring?
In cats, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for brown fur (b). A heterozygous female cat mated with a homozygous recessive male cat.a. What is the genotype of the female cat?b. What is the phenotype of the female cat?e. Draw a Punnett square to show what kinds of kittens these two cats could make. What fraction of the kittens would you expect to have each genotype?
The gene S determines the stripe color of a kind of snake. It has two alleles which are codominant with each other: one allele (S1) causes red stripes, and the other (S2) causes white stripes. What do you predict a heterozygous (S1S2) snake will look like? Select one: a. Assortment of pink, red, and white stripes b. All pink stripes c. No stripes d. Both red and white stripes
In skunks, black and white stripes (S) are dominant and black and white spots (s) are recessive, and red eyes (R) are dominant to brown eyes (r). Both traits are independent. You cross a male skunk with black and white spots and brown eyes to a female with black and white stripe and red eyes. They have three babies: (1) A male with stripes and brown eyes; (2) A female with stripes and red eyes; (3) A female with spots and red eyes. What is the genotype of the female skunk?
